Enjoy Rugby Cup Action at Trafford MV this weekend

By Wilf Dooley

Here we are – the start of the 2026/27 Senior Rugby Season at Trafford MV RFCC.

With a delayed start to the League season still in place (until 26/09/26) we still have the opportunity to proceed with Lancashire Cup matches going ahead at MacPherson Park.

Trafford MV will welcome Bolton RFC to our Club as opposition for both our 1st and 2nd XV’s as we open the season with home matches to entertain our supporters and those visiting. Both of the Senior Men’s games will kick off at 3.00pm. The 1st XV game will be in the opening round of The Brian Leigh Lancashire Trophy.

Ahead of this we open the day’s proceedings with our Women’s Senior team hosting Liverpool Collegiate Ladies for a Noon kick off. Both the Men’s and Women’s teams have players new to the Club and it would be good to show them the support they have from the local community on the touchline.

There will also be Trafford MV Cricket playing as well as St Brendan’s Gaelic Football so a busy day all round is assured at MacPherson Park. On Sunday afternoon at 12.45pm Trafford MV Senior Colts travel to face Stockport as youth Rugby also gets underway.

In 2 weeks time Trafford MV will open their door to the Community with South Of The River Beer and Music Festival taking place on Friday 18th and Saturday 19th Sept. With live music and a great choice of local cask ales plus a tasty street food menu on offer the Club will be bursting with a fabulous, lively and friendly atmosphere.

Tickets are available from the Club Bar and also online from Eventbrite – just search for ‘South Of The River’.

We hope to see you soon at Trafford MV in Sale at M33 6LR
