Rugby has a strong grassroots following in Manchester and the North West. There are plenty of rugby pitches around Manchester which can be booked online with ease. There are rugby facilities that offer one-off fixtures with friends or other venues that cater for club games as part of a local league or tournament. Floodlights have been installed at some of the rugby sites to allow games to continue once the sun goes down. Showers and changing rooms are available for rugby players looking to either get ready before a game or once the final whistle blows.
Salford University has one of the top rugby pitches available for booking online in Manchester. The rugby pitch is full size and the surface is grass. The ground staff ensure the surface is kept in terrific condition throughout the year. The rugby pitch is on the David Lewis Sports Ground, which can be found just off Wallness Lane and next to the University of Salford Student’s Union. Salford Central or Salford Crescent are the closest train stations to this fantastic rugby facility. If trams are your preference, then The Crescent / Salford Crescent Station are nearby too. There is parking available for those rugby players arriving by car. Changing rooms and showers allow rugby fans to get changed before or after a match or training session.
