    A bumper crowd is expected at Harrogate Rugby Club today for the last home game of the season.

    The club will welcome local rivals Wharfedale RUFC to Ruddling Lane in what is expected to see the largest crowd in more than five years at the ground.

    The match will also be David “Doc” Doherty’s last home game after six years’ service. Doherty will step down after serving as director of rugby, as well as a player and coach.

    Harrogate and Wharfedale faced each other just five weeks ago, when the latter ran out 23-21 winners.

    As well as the first team match, the day will also see touch rugby and a mini-tournament take place ahead of the local derby.

    A spokesperson for the club said:

    “Besides the first XV match, there’s lots more happening on Saturday.  At 1pm it’s the tap-off of Harrogate Touch Rugby team’s first game of their season versus Catterick. Seen as an area of considerable future growth, Pitch 2 has been specially marked out for Touch Rugby matches over summer. New players of all ages are very welcome.
    “At 1.30pm on Pitch 3, Harrogate’s U13 Boys kick off in a three-way round robin mini-tournament against touring side Chester and local rivals Moortown.”


    Adult entrance to non-members is £10, all juniors have free entry. Kick off is 3pm.
