Try Rugby League at Queensway this Saturday

Queensway Stadium will host a Rugby League taster session this Saturday, between 10.30am – 12pm.

The session, which have been organised by the North Wales Crusaders U16s side, is open to children aged between 8-16, and is free to attend.

The taster session is open to players of all abilities, whether they’re looking to try the game for the first time, or have played some form of rugby in the past.

Community Coach Allen Jones said: “This taster session is an ideal way to introduce players to the sport of Rugby League

“This session proved to be very popular in 2014 and it was great to see so many children taking an interest in this fantastic sport.”

Rugby League’s popularity continues to grow in Wrexham as preparations gather pace for the new season.

Across Wrexham and Flintshire, 20 local schools have now signed up to the development programme, which is being supported by North Wales Crusaders, Glyndwr University and Wales Rugby League, alongside both Wrexham and Flintshire Council.

Local Community Rugby League Coaches, Adam Daniels and Allen Jones, have been delivering 27 weekly sessions in both primary and secondary schools, which have received a positive response from pupils.
