Welcome to the Wildcats Newsletter!

We want to make a 2027 Accrington Wildcats Calendar, and we need your help to do it! We’re looking for high-quality matchday / training photos from throughout the upcoming season—whether it’s a great action shot on the pitch or a muddy team huddle. If you manage to snap a great moment on your phone or camera, please send it over to us. Your photo could end up featured on a month’s page, helping us celebrate the spirit of the Wildcats all year long.

Please send your best shots to PR@accringtonwildcats.co.uk or tag us in your posts using @accringtonwildcats!

Note: Open age, this does not include a naked calendar. 🙂

Our 2025 season came to a brilliant close recently as the whole Wildcats family gathered for our annual awards evening. It was a proud moment for the club, celebrating the grit, heart, and teamwork shown by our young players.

The Accrington Wildcats held its AGM on January 16th at Enfield Cricket Club. The meeting reviewed annual reports and elected the following committee:

Beetle Drive

Get ready for a night of fast-paced fun as we host our Inaugural Accrington Wildcats Beetle Drive this year! If you’ve never played before, prepare for a high-tempo, competitive dice game that is a hit with all ages—from our youngest players to parents and supporters. It’s a race against the clock (and your neighbours) to see who can draw their beetle first, leading to plenty of laughs and some friendly club rivalry. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a first-timer, come along for a great social evening and help us kick off the month with a bit of energy. It’s the perfect way to bring the whole club together off the field!

Volunteers Meal

Accrington Wildcats is a testament to the dedication of its volunteers. Year after year, countless individuals tirelessly give their time and effort to ensure the club thrives. To express our sincere gratitude for your hard work, we’re planning a small gesture of appreciation. It won’t be a lavish affair, but a chance to say thank you and connect with the amazing people who make the Wildcats possible.

We’re currently looking at returning to Balti Stan. If you have any suggestions on a new venue, please don’t hesitate to contact Axel on 0781757790.

Matches Start

Matches are set to begin for all age groups, from Primary to Open Age. Please understand that there may be another settling-in period as the season gets underway. We kindly request your patience and support for our volunteers and players during this time.

Remember, we’re all here for the same reason: to watch our players develop their skills, have fun, and enjoy the game of rugby league.
