25 years ago, on 29th July 2000, at Bury, the Dewsbury Rams etched their name in history with a thrilling victory in the Northern Ford Premiership Final, defeating the Leigh Centurions 13–12.
To commemorate this incredible achievement and the successful 2000 season, we are looking to hold various events, culminating in a main celebration on 28th June 2025 at FLAIR stadium. This event will be a special opportunity for players, staff, and supporters to reunite and relive the glory of that unforgettable season.
This is organised by a small committee of supporters and it is hoped that it will be funded by sponsorship and any donations that can be obtained. We are looking to put some fund-raising events on during the coming months. Details to follow.
How You Can Help
We’re seeking your support to make this celebration truly special:
- Loaned Memorabilia:
Do you have any items from the 2000 season or the final match? We’d love to borrow them for display in the stadium throughout the season and the main event. - Game Footage:
If you have video or disc footage of games from the 2000 season, please let us know. We’re especially interested in content from Rugby League Raw or club-sold discs. Any footage can be copied and returned to you. - Event Support:
We’ll be hosting fundraising events in the coming months and would appreciate your attendance and support. Numbers for the main celebration on 28th June 2025 will be limited, so save the date! Most players from the 2000 squad have already confirmed their attendance, with only a few exceptions due to being overseas. - Sponsorship Ideas or Contacts:
If you have any ideas or contacts for potential sponsors who could support the event financially or assist with infrastructure, please let us know. Sponsorship will be key to ensuring the success of both the main celebration and the supporting events.
A Season of Celebration
We aim to make this event—and the entire season—a true celebration of the incredible 2000 season, the players who made it possible, and the supporters who have always stood by the team.
