These games are a fantastic opportunity to see the squads in action, welcome new faces, catch up with friends and get behind the lads before the league season kicks off.

It all starts with the 1st XV away at a Sandbach festival on Saturday 15 August, with the 2s then hosting Longton under the St Edward's Park lights on 21 August. The 3rds host Worksop in the inaugural Keith Rollason Memorial Game the following day and the 1s wrap things up with a game against Macclesfield on Thursday, 27 August.

The season begins with a massive Staffordshire Cup final game against Burton on 5 September, venue to be confirmed.

Whether you’re a lifelong supporter, sponsor, volunteer or simply fancy an evening or afternoon of rugby, we’d love to see you at the club. Your support during pre-season gives the players a real lift as they build towards the season ahead.

The bar will be open for our home evening fixtures, so come down, enjoy a drink and get back to the oval ball!
