  • Out of School Achievement A huge well done to Harry in Year 8, who has recently joined Skipton RFC Under-13s. In his very first official match for the team, Harry helped Skipton secure a fantastic victory and was awarded Player of the Week in recognition of his outstanding performance. This is a brilliant achievement and a great start to his rugby journey. We are incredibly proud of Harry and look forward to hearing about his future successes on the pitch. Congratulations, Harry!
