Discounted Early Bird tickets are now on sale for Loughborough Lightning’s first home game of 2026 when Bristol Bears visit cinch Stadium at Franklin’s Gardens!
The Premiership Women’s Rugby Round 12 match on Sunday 22 February (kick-off: 3pm) comes two months after Lightning’s most recent outing in front of their own supporters – a thrilling 29-29 draw Trailfinders – and you can be there to watch all the action unfold, with tickets available now priced from just £10* adult and £3* child.
Lightning have won their last two meetings with Bristol, both coming on the road at Shaftesbury Park, with the most recent being in PWR Round 7 when the African Violets cantered to a 19-31 success courtesy of tries from Mae Sagapolu (2), Alicia Maude and Alev Kelter – plus 11 points from the boot of Helen Nelson.
Lightning – whose next two games are on the road against Gloucester (1 February) and Exeter Chiefs (15 February) – will have gone unbeaten at home for more than a year by the time they return to cinch Stadium – but that sequence will be given a stern test by a Bristol side packed with World Cup winning talent such as Hannah Botterman, Sarah Bern and Abbie Ward!
