An annual fixture in the calendar is the celebrated 'Old Boy's event held in May seeing more than 60 Alumni turn up in their shoulder pads to take on the current students. In addition, a range of events in which the students celebrate their sport include the Superbowl weekend and Derby Day.

The Pirates are looking to introduce a flag football team over the coming season to further develop their offer and programme.
