Littleborough RUFC’s next generation of rugby players have been celebrating a wonderful season that has seen Littleborough become one of the largest junior sections in the North West.

From the Under 7s to Under 12s to the older junior section U16s, the club has seen huge growth in each age group.

The minis section have enjoyed trips to Rochdale Hornets and Sale Sharks to play in pre-game touch rugby matches as well as entertaining the U20s world championship trophy at Rakewood two weeks ago.

On the pitch, a number of the minis teams have enjoyed success against clubs with much bigger infrastructure, such as the U10s taking the Huddersfield RUFC 2015/16 tournament by storm or the U12s enjoying an unbeaten season and finishing second in the local Rochdale tournament.
