About Us

WHO WE ARE

The Hull Roundheads were founded in Hull, East Yorkshire, Aug. 2018 on the basis of joining a global community of Inclusive Rugby where men of any gender, sexuality or race can come together for the love of the sport. In 2025 the Roundheads moved their training location to Beverley RUFC which led to a formal move to Beverley being agreed in early 2026 during which the team became the Hull & Beverley Roundheads. 

It doesn’t matter if you’re gay, bi, straight or trans, the Hull & Beverley Roundheads is a family with one purpose, to play rugby and to have fun playing! 

Honorary Club President's Message - David Eldridge

Sport is truly one of the greatest socialization mechanisms in the world and physical activity is crucial to lifelong health and well-being; yet over and over, we hear how LGBTQ+ individuals avoid sports either due to discrimination or perceptions of the culture around sports being intimidating or unwelcoming.  We set up the Hull Roundheads Union and Touch rugby teams as our own city’s part of the worldwide network of the IGR, to actively work to change that culture.  Together, we’re proudly creating a safe space where LGBTQ+ people and their allies can come together to enjoy all the benefits of community, friendship, competition and fun that team sports generate.  It’s an exciting, important and transformative journey, and one the Hull Roundheads would love you to join.
