The new season saw a great set of performances to start the campaign, with all three Leek senior teams winning.

And a new season means the return of our weekly Player of the Match awards, proudly sponsored by Ken Jervis Kia - huge thanks to them for backing Leek rugby for another season.
Your week one winners are:

• 1st XV – On debut, making an instant impact as player/coach, Scott Rawlings, kindly sponsored by Advanced Proteins.
• 2nd XV – Another debutant, this time straight out of the Academy – Oscar Powell, kindly sponsored by Keble Heath Construction.
• 3rd XV – No stranger to the grind, a long-serving prop who always gives it everything – Niall Trigg.

Well done lads – setting the bar high for the season ahead!
