Otley Rugby Union Football Club is an English rugby union club representing Otley in the City of Leeds district of West Yorkshire. The club runs three senior teams - the first XV, the Saracens (2nd XV) and the mighty Viscounts (3rd XV) - and the full range of junior teams. The first XV plays in National League 2 North. ==History== Otley RUFC was founded in 1865 but broke away from rugby league in 1895 and restarted as a rugby union club in 1908. In the 2007/2008 season they won the National Division Two title securing an immediate return to National Division One having been relegated the previous season, however they were immediately relegated again in the 2008/09 season along with fellow promoted side Manchester and three other teams due to the new professionalised format of National Division One (now the RFU Championship). Two seasons later the club was relegated again, this time to National League 2 North. In 1979 Cross Green was the site of a famous victory by the North of England against the mighty All Blacks.〔 〕 The Wallabies suffered the same fate in October, 1988. Cross Green hosted a group game of the 1991 Rugby World Cup, between the United States and Italy. The all time leading try scorer is James Twomey, with 74 in 107 appearances between 2009 and 2013. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Otley R.U.F.C.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
