Northwich Director of Rugby Martin Poste said “The gap at the top of the division has closed dramatically with only 8 points separating the top 5 teams. Saturdays fixture is between 4th & 5th with only 1 point separating the teams, a thrilling encounter is anticipated”.

For the rugby newbie the laws of the game can be a little confusing at first, but the on field rivalries are both exciting and passionate for all spectators.
From your very first visit you will notice that Northwich Rugby at Moss Farm is an extremely family orientated rugby club, where everyone is made to feel very welcome and the clubhouse is a hive of activity pre and post match. Arrive early to sample a beer in the clubhouse and enjoy a free pre-game buffet, where both home and visiting supporters mingle, enjoying the banter and craic while discussing their teams prospects. The clubhouse has a very traditional feel; around its walls are displays of photographs and memorabilia you would expect from a club with a proud history, Sky Sports/BT Sport are available throughout the club so that all the top sporting events are screened live free of charge and we take pride in maintaining a fantastic social atmosphere.

All we ask is you consider purchasing a match day programme, however there is no-obligation too.

This weekend Northwich welcome Altrincham Kersal to Moss Farm for a 2.15pm kick-off. By a twist of fate and fortune with both teams suffering relegations and promotions the last time AK beat Northwich was during 2014-15 in the South Lancs & Cheshire league, AK achieved the double victory over the Blacks that season in which AK were promoted as champions, Northwich finished 3rd . Northwich have won the last 5 meetings between the teams. Back in September as the match entered the final quarter AK threw everything at Northwich and when they turned over a scrum they went on a charge to score an unconverted try and provide a fitting climax to a good match. However, a Northwich penalty with just 5 minutes remaining proved to be the final score giving the “Blacks” a hard fought victory.
