London Broncos return to Twickenham Stoop to take on St Helens!

James Booth • 10 April 2024

For the first time since 17th August 2013, the London Broncos are making a return to Twickenham Stoop to take on St Helens Saints on Sunday, 16th June (3pm KO)!


Speaking on the return to the Stoop, the Broncos Head of Commercial, Mark Kemp, says “The club are delighted to announce the venue for the Super League Home fixture against St. Helens on June 16th, 2024.

 

“After looking at a number of options for this fixture, it soon became apparent the answer was almost staring us in the face. As we returned to the Super League for the 2024 season, we looked to make a conscious nod to the past with the return of the simple black kit from the 93/94 season and the striking quarter kit from the 1996 first summer season.

 

“We are excited and looking forward to welcoming you all to the Twickenham Stoop on what will be a great occasion as we return to a venue that hosted one of the clubs most successful periods and we look to re-engage with some of those lost supporters from within the area now that we are back in Super League.

 

“St. Helens, as always, will travel in force and the temptation to visit one of London’s premier rugby grounds will definitely swell their numbers making it ever more important to get Broncos fans current, old, and new along to the game to make as much London noise as possible and help the team to overcome one of the Super Leagues big hitters in what will be a great occasion for the club and all rugby league supporters.

 

“There will be all the normal facilities that we enjoy at AFC Wimbledon plus the added advantage of extra hospitality boxes and lounges on offer, all of which we will be release details of in the coming weeks building up to the game.

 

“Let’s make this a big day to remember, it would make the perfect Father’s Day outing with family entertainment, great rugby and plenty of good food and beer for all to enjoy- we look forward to welcoming you all and seeing you there!”

 


On the last occasion that we played against St Helens at Twickenham Stoop (April 27th, 2013) we came away 21-14 winners, thanks to trys from Chris Bailey (29), Tommy Lee (50) & Michael Robertson (43) as well as 4 conversions & a drop goal Michael Witt!

 

Let’s all get down to the Stoop and make sure to create as much atmosphere as possible to help the Broncos repeat this fantastic result!

Tony joined the London Broncos in December 1994, and made his debut on Boxing Day in a freezing cold defeat at Leigh. The club was in transition at the time, with the Brisbane Broncos directors, who owned the club, signing Australian players to try to win promotion from the Second Division. Tony joined the club from North Sydney. He had played 120 first team games for Norths, including captaining them to the Grand Final in 1991.

LONDON BRONCOS V HUNSLET (by David Ballheimer) London Broncos (16) 26, Hunslet (0) 6 London Broncos produced one of their most dominant defensive performances in recent memory as they beat Hunslet at the Cherry Red Records Stadium on Saturday night. Such was London’s control of the ruck that the Yorkshiremen had only one attack on the London line, and they turned over the ball-carrier before he could ground the ball. At the other end, Hunslet could not cope with the power and strength of London’s ball-carriers. The Broncos made a great start, scoring on their second possession, courtesy of Marcus Stock, who found a way through three tacklers before stretching over the line and grounding the ball. Most of the credit, however, belonged to Huw Worthington, who charged 35 metres downfield returning a kick. Four minutes later, Stock turned provider, turning in a tackle and sending Luke Polselli over. The half-back was able to run behind the posts to make Chris Hellec’s second conversion even easier than his first.
