Ilkley Rugby Club is excited to announce the return of our Juniors Day on Saturday, 19th October 2024, alongside the Senior 1st XV match against Selby and the 2nd XV match against Old Brodleians. It’s set to be another fun-filled, action-packed day for all ages, celebrating the future of our club and the wider rugby community.
What’s Happening on Juniors Day?
As Ilkley’s 1st XV and 2nd XV teams take on Selby and Old Brods in what promises to be two thrilling matches, our Juniors will have their moment to shine. During the half-time break of the 1st XV game on the 1st XV pitch, Juniors from across different age groups will take to the pitch for exhibition matches, showcasing their skills and passion for the game.
Players from the Under 7, 8, 9 and 10 Junior teams will run out at half time to experience the game day in its entirety where our club photographer, Peter Clark, will be on hand to capture the day.
The future of the club is the age group teams and we hope that sharing the Senior game day experience with them can help bring the club together as one!
Following the success of Juniors Day last year, after the matches all attendees are invited to join the Senior teams for a post-game "Social" which proved a great opportunity for players from all age groups to mingle and get to know one another.
We see Juniors Day as a fantastic opportunity to bring our entire club together, bridging the gap between our youngest and most experienced players. The club believes strongly in fostering a sense of community, and we are thrilled to share the Senior match-day experience with our aspiring future stars.
IRFC 1st XV Captain Joe Lowes commented: "We’re looking forward to another great Juniors Day, celebrating the next generation of players at Ilkley Rugby Club. Juniors Day is a special occasion, providing our young players the opportunity to feel the excitement of match day and be part of the wider rugby family."
Don’t miss out on what promises to be an incredible day of rugby at Ilkley Rugby Club. Let’s come together to celebrate our Juniors and Seniors alike, as we look forward to an exciting day on and off the pitch!
