A disappointing late call off, due to a waterlogged pitch at Hessle RUFC, in the shadows of the Humber Bridge, made it 3 postponed games for Globe Holidays sponsored Stocksbridge Rugby & more congestion for their fixture pile up. The meeting time had just passed & Stocksbridge were just about to set off for Humberside when news of the failed pitch inspection came through. There were a couple of games played in the Yorkshire 4 Counties competition, with next week’s visitors to the Coal Pit Lane stadium, 2nd placed Thornensians suffering a 13-12 reverse to Leeds Modernians. Stocksbridge remain in 12th position in the league ladder, but with games in hand, they will be looking to climb towards mid table. The Round 12 clash against Thornensians is a 2.15pm kick off, & is the Club’s Christmas Jumper fixture, the final game of 2023. Stocksbridge Rugby will begin 2024 with a tough Round 13 assignment away at Leeds Modernians on Saturday 20th January.
Given the time of Year, Club Chairman Phil Watts, on behalf of the Club would like to thanks the many sponsors who support the Team : Globe Holidays, Fox Catering, Goodlad Contracting, Bradfield Brewery, John Heath & Sons, Asphalt Grid Systems, Uni Block, Funding Solutions, John Crawshaw Butchers, JP Cooling Services & Premier Stone Worktops Ltd, ‘we are thankful & proud to partner with our loyal sponsors’ said Watts, before adding, ‘we wish them all & all of Stocksbridge a very Merry Christmas, & hope to see you in the Clubhouse during the holiday period’.
