”’Bury Broncos ARLFC”’ is an [[amateur]] [[Rugby League]] football club based in [[Bury]], [[Greater Manchester]], and currently playing in the [[North West Counties]] Division 6.

==Formation==

Formed in 2008, the Bury Broncos have filled a gap in the [[Rugby League]] community that existed in and around the [[Bury]] area, traditionally a [[football]] stronghold. No [[Rugby League]] team has existed in the borough since the demise of Prestwich ARLFC in the late 1990s. The team has formed strong links in the area and has a growing player and fan base.

==Brief History of the Broncos==

The club was formed in early 2008, with a blend of experienced players from [[North West Counties]] sides such as Parkside Golborne, Langworthy Reds and Folly Lane, as well as local players with varying degrees of playing experience, [[Rugby Union]] players, and those new to [[Rugby League]].

Initially placed in Division 6 of the [[North West Counties]] Amateur Rugby League alongside a number of ‘A’ teams from senior clubs, 2008 may see a year of frustration as ‘A’ teams often fail to fulfil fixtures, however the year started well with a win in their inaugural game. The league campaign started more slowly with a narrow loss to the Wigan Bulldogs, a further loss to the Rochdale Cobras, and a hard-fought 28-26 win over Blackpool Scorpions A after being 22-4 down at half time.
