Sat 10th: First XV HOME v Huddersfield. Meet, Selection, etc.

After the long trip North to Tynedale, we now have a HOME game.  Versus Huddersfield, with a KO of 2.30.

We only really came across them, League-wise, in the 2024/25 Season and we've not met since March 2025, when we narrowly missed out on a draw, losing to a last-minute penalty.  Report, here.

Other stats for Hudds are here, on our site.

Recent results for both Teams have seen both of them with one win out of five matches, but Heath are placed 10th to our Visitor's 13th, because of bonus points and points difference. League Table, here.

Huddersfield's thumping 92 - 7 loss at Sedgeley Park, last week, will be forgotten as both sides take to the field.  Local derbies are always fiercely contested and 'bragging rights' are there to be taken.........  Bound to be an exciting afternoon's rugby.

Matchday Arrangements
To help and assist you on your visit to North Dean.

PARKING  
On arrival, if parking outside the ground, please do not remove the ‘No Parking’ cones situated either side of the entrance gates. They are there for a reason - to try and make it easier to see oncoming traffic when entering or leaving the ground. Once in the ground, please park in the designated spaces in the main car park or, if parking behind the first team pitch, please park opposite each other (90 degrees to ads and stream). 

There are also designated disabled parking spots near to the clubhouse.

For the 2026/27 season, there will be some disruption to the 'on-site' parking, resulting in lower numbers of vehicles being accommodated.  This is because of Calderdale MBC's construction activities (cycle way to the intended new Elland Railway Station). There may also be disruption to the roads directly outside the entrance to our ground, for the same reason. We, at Heath, will do our best to mitigate the situation and gate staff will be there to help.

CLUBHOUSE
Please use the main entrance to the left of the building. We have a stairlift available for those unable to walk up the staircase. 

Please do not take glasses out of the clubhouse. During games, please use the toilet facilities situated under the clubhouse balcony, to the right of the main entrance. Note: dogs are not allowed in the clubhouse on matchdays.

Spectators are NOT allowed on the pitches at any time and must use the walkways at all times. Please use the bins situated around the ground to deposit any rubbish. Non-alcoholic refreshments are available from the caravan at the side of the stand during the match. We do allow dogs but please keep them on a lead and ensure you clear up any mishaps!

Finally
We do hope you enjoy your visit to North Dean.
