Formed in 1997 with the amalgamation of three historic South Leeds clubs – Bison Sports,
Brassmoulders, and Garden Gate – Hunslet Warriors originally fielded two teams at open-
age as well as Under 18 and Under 16 teams
In their very first season Warriors reached the 3rd round of the Challenge Cup, going down
44 – 4 to Leigh Centurians with a spirited display. The A team also enjoyed success, winning
the Alliance Championship and League Cup. Subsequent seasons saw further success at all
levels in the Alliance League, Yorkshire Cup, Tetley Burton Cup and, in 2000/01 the Yorkshire
League Premier Division Championship and Playoff title.
The Warriors reached the 3rd round of the Challenge Cup in 2005/06, beaten by a strong
Widnes team, and in 2009/10 theywent on to win the Yorkshire League Premiership and
Playoff title. That season again saw Warriors in the 3rd round of the Challenge Cup when
they put up a brave display against a powerful Barrow Raiders team. They also received the
Ravensport Tough tackle trophy – awarded to the amateur club with the best defensive rec-
ord in the country.
After a 4 year absence Warriors’ application to rejoin the National Conference League was
accepted and they took their place in NCL Division 2 for the 2010/11 season. Their potential
was again demonstrated in the Challenge Cup as they lost narrowly to Oldham Roughyeds
in the 3rd round. The league campaign proved successful with Warriors finishing champions
of the Division and achieving promotion to NCL1 at the first attempt.
In the interim season, introduced to bridge the gap between winter and summer league ar-
rangements 2011/12, Warriors finished top of their Division then went on to win the Grand
Final against premier division outfit Wigan St. Patricks.
The 2012 season saw Warriors knocked out of the Challenge Cup in the 3rd round at
Whitehaven but consolidating their position in NCL1, finishing outside the promotion places
just one point behind the promoted clubs. The 2013 season saw Warriors promot-
ed after finishing runners up in NCL1. Their 2014 season was however not successful with
Warriors failing to secure their position in the Premier Division. They once again took their
place in NCL1 for the 2015 campaign and finished just outside the playoff places. After 2
successive relegations they are hoping to improve on this in the 2019 season in Division 3.
The Acadamy continue to take part in the Yorkshire Mens League, while youth and jun-
ior sections also continue to thrive with teams at every age group from Under 6 cubs to Un-
der 16 and Girls playing in the Yorkshire leagues with our under 16s recently winning the
Barla Yorkshire Cup.
