Sat 7th Nov. First XV HOME v Harrogate. Meet, Selection, etc.

This Saturday the Firsts look towards improving on last weeks performance and to restart the campaign with another win.  The work has been intense on the training paddock to do this,

There's no doubt it will be a tough contest, with Harrogate 7th in the League, with 3 wins and a draw (last week to Hudds) whilst we sit at 12th, with 2 wins plus Bonus points.  All to play for then.

Here's a link to the RFU Nat 2 Table: link.  And here's details of 'Gate's League performance, so far:  link.  The Firsts have only played them in recent times - here's the stats from our own website:  3 wins for us and 1 draw.  Stats.

So  it looks like a competitive and exciting afternoon's rugby is in store!  Support & Enjoy.

Finally, fancy the Prematch Luncheon?  Book here.

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!
