The Leeds Hunters was formed in 2016. What started as a get together in Roundhay Park has grown into a club that has over 70 members and has gone on to represent not just Leeds, but Yorkshire at IGR International Gay Rugby world tournament, The Bingham Cup in Amsterdam in June 2018.
The basis for the club and indeed any club within the IGR s to provide a safe space for people to come and play rugby. Whether you have experience or non at all, it doesn’t matter. The club encourages anyone to come pick up a rugby ball, even if it is for the first time and to leave having enjoyed being there.
Being a Hunter, you aren’t just a player, you are part of a family and by extension a larger family as part of the IGR which consists of over 5000 players from across the globe.
We accept New Players every week at training, its specifically designed for those people who want to try something new but have never played rugby before. It’s never too late, we accept players from 18+ with no upper limit and of all fitness levels and abilities.
We train on Wednesday evenings 7pm and Saturday Mornings 10.30am. Please do let us know if you are thinking about heading over to join us, as some Saturdays are different if we have a match either home or away.
