History

Headingley & Roundhay to Leeds RUFC

Headingley has a tradition of rugby which started back in 1877, after several youngsters became interested in rugby after watching Leeds St. John's, later to become Leeds Rhinos, rugby league team. Their first game was in November against the Saints second team. Union was centred around a church club. The original rugby union team was Leeds St John’s and it played at the Militia Barracks ground before moving to Cardigan Fields. The Headingley name was adopted in 1878 and Cardigan Fields was used for both rugby and cricket. Hyde Park Corner, Leeds Headingley is a suburb of the English city of Leeds in the county of West Yorkshire. ... Leeds Rhinos are a professional rugby league club who are based in Headingley in the north of Leeds, Yorkshire. ... Rugby league football is a full-contact team sport played by two teams of thirteen on a rectangular grass field. ...

On 5th January 1884, England played Wales there and won 5-3 with a crowd in the region of 2,000 in attendance. The club playing there was then disbanded but was re-formed again in 1885 under the auspices of the Headingley Hill Chapel Sunday Class and played matches on local fields against local teams, including Roundhay. January 5 is the 5th day of the year in the Gregorian Calendar. ... Roundhay is one of the better known of Leedss suburbs. ...

In 1888 the Cardigan Estate was sold at auction and Lot 17a was purchased by a group of Leeds citizens, who intended to form the city's leading sports club. Lot 17a became what is now Headingley Stadium.

Leeds St John's played their final season under that name in 1889-90, before becoming the football section of Leeds Cricket, Football and Athletic Company Ltd the following season. With Headingley still being completed, Leeds' first game was staged at Cardigan Fields, the home side defeating Otley. The first game at Headingley was played on September 20, 1890, when Manningham were beaten by one try and one dropped goal to nil.

Leeds were founder members of the Northern Union when it broke away from the Rugby Football Union in 1895. Leeds' debut in the Northern Union was a 6-3 victory at Leigh on 7th September, 1895, the inaugural day of the new competition.

The development of the playing fields into the Headingley ground was down to the visionary Lord Hawke, who was behind the creation of the Leeds Cricket, Football and Athletic Company and the purchase of lot 17A of the Cardigan Estate. (Lord Hawke captained England and Yorkshire at cricket). However, this saw the demise of the Leeds club which split into two. The part that was to become the Rugby League club in 1895-6 stayed at the Headingley ground and Headingley RUFC was re-born in 1891, eventually finishing up in 1902 in Clarence Fields, Kirkstall. Two other internationals were played in Leeds before the split between Union and League, against Ireland and Scotland, both ending in defeat. Martin Bladen Hawke (16 August 1860-10 October 1938), from 1887 known as Lord Hawke was an English cricketer who, Wisden wrote, strode the cricketing world like a colossus for half a century, as a player and administrator, and one who played a major part in the modernisation of the...

In 1889, Headingley was disbanded when Leeds St. John's moved into the area, built Headingley Stadium and dropped the St. John's from their name. However, Headingley bounced back and found fixtures outside Yorkshire, in 1901 their fixture list including a game against the famous Blackheath Rugby Club.

Leeds RUFC To Leeds Tykes

Leeds RUFC was founded in 1991 after the merger of Roundhay and Headingley and played their first match on 1 September 1992 against Hull Ionians. Richard Cardus , Denis Wilkins and Keith Smith all won internationals caps while in the Roundhay ranks. Smith featured in England’s first full tour of Australia in 1975, but had to return home injured and Wilkins, who was also in the Royal Navy, won 13 caps, between 1951-53. 1991 (MCMXCI) was a common year starting on Tuesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Date of Birth: 1952 Date of Death: 2006 Position: Inside and Outside Center Country: England Keith Smith (1952-2006) was a former English rugby player; he excelled in playing centre. ...

When the amalgamation came in 1990-91 both clubs were in National Division Three. The relegation made it logical that the two clubs should become Leeds RUFC, especially as professionalism was in the air as a result of what was going on in the Southern Hemisphere. So it turned out to be a far-sighted move. However, it was a unpopular one with the Headingley faithful, the club with the longer history which had struggled through the Northern clubs breakaway from the Rugby Union in 1893. But later events proved it justified.

In the first season in National Three, Leeds finished 6th, but League re-organisation put the club in National Division Four , with finishes of 6th, 6th and 5th in 1995-6. The extent of the club’s ambition became evident in the following season in finishing 3rd, scoring 1,209 points in thirty games, with the former England ‘A’ outside-half Gerry Ainscough scoring 307 points, and the ex-Scotland ‘A’ utility back Mark Appleson scoring sixteen tries.

In 1997-8, promotion was made from the newly-formed Jewson One to Premiership Two , finishing runners-up to Worcester. The Tongan Sateki Tuipulotu scored a then club record 322 points.

Tuipulotu went on to score 349 points for Worcester in 2000-01 in National One, still a Worcester club record for points scored in a season. The Tykes finished 6th in their first season in Premiership Two with the Tongan scoring 250 points and Simon Middleton and Jonathan Scales scoring ten tries apiece.

Since 1996 the Tykes have played at Leeds Rhinos' Headingley stadium and Phil Davies became their player-coach. In their first season they finished 8th in the old twelve team fourth division. They were renamed Leeds Tykes in 1998 when Leeds Rugby Ltd was formed, merging the Rhinos and Tykes under one umbrella. William Philip (Phil) Cathcart Davies played rugby at centre for Cambridge University, Harlequins, England and the British Lions (South Africa 1955). ...

Since then they have climbed through the divisions and were promoted to the Premiership in 2001. In gaining promotion Richard Le Bas scored 337 points and Graham Mackay , a product of Leeds Rhinos, scored 19 tries, both club season records which still stand to date. The Guinness Premiership is the present name for the leading rugby union league competition for English clubs. ... 2001 (MMI) was a common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Again in 2001 Tom Palmer became the first ever Leeds Tykes player to be capped for England when he appeared as a replacement against the USA. Tom Palmer is the name of several notable individuals, including: Tom G. Palmer, senior fellow at the Cato Institute who holds a D.Phil. ...

The Leeds Tykes team for their first ever game in the Premiership on 2nd September 2001 against Bath Rugby, was: Shelley, Holt, Wring, C. Murphy, Palmer, Mather, Ponton, Fea'unati, Benton, Bachop, Emmerson, Woof, Mayer, Scarbrough, Benson. September 2 is the 245th day of the year (246th in leap years). ...

Replacements: Hogg for Mather (74), Davies for Fea'unati (75), Kerr for Fea'unati (26), O'Reilly for Mayer (73), Fea'unati for Kerr (33). Not Used: Luffman, Clarke, Le Bas.

The Tykes survived their first season after finishing bottom of the league when the National League One champions were denied entry into the Premiership in 2002 (Champions Rotherham Titans were refused promotion to the Zurich Premiership for the 2002/03 season due to facilities failing to meet Premiership criteria). The next season Leeds finished fifth in the table and made their Heineken Cup debut in December 2003. In their four seasons in the Zurich Premiership they finished an average ninth and had reached a couple of domestic cup semi-finals.

In 2005 they were mid table by early November but at the turn of the year following injuries to key players they were bottom of the Zurich Premiership and some way adrift of their rivals. Despite the threat of relegation they somehow made it to their first ever Powergen Cup final. They faced Bath who were top of the table and had never been beaten in a cup final. Leeds were attempting to end Bath's perfect record in domestic cup finals. The Guinness Premiership is the present name for the leading rugby union league competition for English clubs. ...

The West country giants won all 10 of the showpieces they contested between 1984 and 1996. They started favourites for an 11th triumph as they returned to Twickenham for their first final for nine years. But Leeds recorded a shock 20-12 win to claim their first ever trophy. Twickenham is a suburb in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, south west London. ...

All the Leeds points were scored in the first period. The first try was scored by the Tykes' Chris Bell after Gordon Ross had chipped ahead. Andre Snyman then intercepted and went 60 metres for a score. Ross converted both tries and also added two penalties to make it 20-9 after 40 minutes. Bath could only reply with four penalties from Chris Malone . So it was Leeds Tykes that won the 34th Powergen Cup to make club history. It was one of Ross' most memorable performances for the Tykes, when he not only helped the side to their first silverware but also collected the honour of being named Man of the Match. Mark Regan, the hooker, and Jon Callard , the assistant coach, were also able to savour victory over the club they both served for so long.

The Tykes team on that eventful day on Saturday, 16 April, 2005, was; Balshaw (capt); Snyman, Christophers, Bell, Biggs; Ross, Dickens; Shelley, Regan, Kerr; Hooper, Palmer; Morgan, Parkes, Popham. Replacements: Holt, Rawlinson, Dunbar, Hyde, McMillan, McMullen, Albanese.

Following the cup win they went on to win five straight games and avoided the drop by finishing eighth. Phil Davies relinquished control of some coaching duties to concentrate on his role as Director of Rugby in 2005 following another poor start to the season which saw the Tykes lose their first eight games in three different competitions. 2005 (MMV) was a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

In fact it proved to be a calamitous campaign and a sequence of defeats from which they never recovered. They had to play catch-up all season and with injuries, representative demands and the time it took for several new high-profile players such as Justin Marshall and Gordon Bulloch to bed down, were all major factors in Leeds’ plight. And losing three successive away matches in injury time to Northampton Saints , Sale Sharks and Leicester Tigers did not assist their cause.

This led to, on 12 January 2006, former Rugby League international Daryl Powell being promoted from the back room staff to First Team coach . Formerly the head coach of rugby league club Leeds Rhinos, he was promoted from his previous title as the Tykes' offensive coach. Daryl Powell (born July 21st 1965 in Ackworth, Yorkshire) is a former rugby league stand off for the Sheffield Eagles and Leeds Rhinos. ...

Leeds were finally relegated after Newcastle Falcons beat Sale Sharks. Ironically, relegation came exactly a year to the day that they claimed the Powergen Cup. However they will receive a £1.5m 'parachute payment' whilst in National Division One and are hotly tipped to be back in the Premiership next year with the added funding of Tykes chairman Paul Caddick. Following relegation Marshall was transfer listed by request, and Leeds legend Mike Shelley announced his retirement.

Players who remained at club were: Tom Biggs, Lee Blackett, Michael Cusack, Jon Dunbar, Stuart Hooper, James Isaacson, Chris Jones, Rob Rawlinson and Rob Vickerman. At the end of April 2006 Phil Davies resigned as Director Of Rugby to be replaced by academy coach Stuart Lancaster. Davies said at the time: "I have no immediate plans to go elsewhere, rather I just feel it's time to take a break. I want to make it clear this mutual decision has nothing to do with the current situation at Leeds.

Davies added: "The last 10 years has been an amazing journey with a fantastic group of people, helping to take the club from National League Three to Heineken Cup rugby and winning the Powergen Cup last season. I will have some time out with my family and reflect upon my career and future, after a decade at this wonderful club."

Lancaster became the club’s new Director of Rugby after successfully leading the clubs RFU Academy for five years. Lancaster, a former back rower for the club, was the first ever player to play 100 games for Leeds and played under Davies before taking up a full time role developing some of the brightest prospects in the English game. Lancaster had the role with the Academy since its inauguration in September 2001. Under Lancaster’s leadership the Tykes RFU Academy has become recognised as leading the way in player development in England whilst as a coach Lancaster has also developed, achieving the highest coaching qualification available from the RFU, the Level Five. Lancaster has put together a strong squad that is on the way to taking Leeds back into the Premiership.
