Rugby League at GR this month
Goldington Road will host Bedford Tigers Rugby League on Saturday 26th April (KO 3pm) against Eastern Rhinos.
In their first home fixture of the season in the Southern Conference League, the Tigers will be looking to start strong in their big day out.
After celebrating their 20th anniversary last year, Tigers are back with renewed ambition and looking to continue their upwards trajectory. After travelling to North Herts Crusaders on opening weekend, they’ll step out at GR hunting a first win over the Rhinos since May 2022.

Bedford Tigers Director of Rugby, Rob Ashton said: “It's an incredible opportunity for us to raise the profile of the club and our version of the sport. Bedford has such an incredible rugby following and we want people to know they have a club to call their own in the summer too.
“Working with the Blues and playing at Goldington Road is really special for us. We are looking forward to creating something special on the 26th and proving that rugby league can work outside of its heartlands."
Bedford Blues Chief Operating Officer, Gareth Alred said: “We are delighted to support Rob and the Tigers for this one-off game at the home of the Blues. With no fixtures for either of our senior sides that weekend, it made sense for both clubs to work together and hopefully gives our supporters chance to enjoy more rugby at Goldington Road.”
