CHAIRMANS END OF SEASON STATEMENT 2026

Sunday the 31^st of May was a day of immense pride for everyone connected with Worcester Warriors.

To be crowned Champ winners and lift the trophy in our first season back in professional rugby is an amazing achievement and a measured moment to celebrate against a backdrop of our recent history.

The players and coaching staff deserve enormous credit for what they have achieved this season. This time last year, there was no squad, no coaches, no medical team, no analysts, just a vision and a belief. The team we built have consistently demonstrated the standards, resilience, and ambition necessary to compete at the top level of this league. Throughout the campaign they have represented Worcester Warriors with pride and professionalism, the epitome of a band of brothers, and they have been rewarded for that effort with a title that is thoroughly deserved.

I also want to recognise the contribution of our staff behind the scenes. From operations and finance to media, administration, commercial, hospitality and matchday teams, there is a small, resolute group of people whose work often goes unnoticed, but whose efforts have been fundamental to this success.

To our supporters, this victory is for you. The backing you have given the club throughout the season has been extraordinary. Week after week, at Sixways and on the road, you have stood behind the team with passion and unwavering belief. There have been difficult periods in our recent history, but your loyalty never disappeared. The atmosphere you have created and the support you have shown have been a huge part of what has made this season so special.

I would also like to thank our sponsors, partners the Warriors Foundation and the Warriors Supporters Trust as well as the wider business community for their continued commitment to the club.

There is an established unity throughout the club now, a belief in the direction we are travelling and a determination to continue building a future that our supporters can be proud of. Today, however, is about celebrating a group of people, all and every one of you, who have earned the right to call themselves CHAMPIONS

Thank you to everyone who has played a part in this remarkable season.

Christopher Holland
Executive Chairman
Worcester Warriors
