Luctonians Sports Club is an English sports club based in Kingsland, Herefordshire. The rugby union team currently plays in National League 2 West, the fourth tier of the English rugby union system, following their promotion from the Midlands Premier at the end of the 2018–19 season via the play-offs. The club runs four senior sides and a full range of junior sides. Apart from rugby, Luctonians hosts the practice of cricket, golf, cycling, having also a netball, rounders, ladies touch and ladies contact section for women.[1]
Luctonians play home games at Mortimer Park on Hereford Road in the village of Kingsland – about 4 miles from the nearest town, Leominster.[2] Ground capacity is around 2,500 – a figure that includes 300 seated in the modern grandstand (completed in 2013) – with the rest standing space.[3] Due to its rural location the only access to Mortimer Park is by car, although there is ample parking space.
On 27 April 2019, Luctonians achieved a record attendance of 1,757, who watched them defeat Blaydon in the Midlands-North play-off, to achieve promotion to National League 2 North.
