Amazing news!šš“ó §ó ¢ó „ó ®ó §ó æ
Weāre incredibly proud to celebrate two members of our team representing England at an international stage!
Our Electrical Apprentice, Mason, has been selected from national trials to represent the England Community Lions Rugby League U17ās squad, playing as Half Back in the number 6 shirt. Mason will be beginning his first fixture this Saturday 15th May against Scotland in Hawick. He will then face Wales in Swansea on 20th June, followed by two fixtures in France in July. Mason also plays for West Bank Bears U18ās, who have reached the semi-finals of the Lancashire Cup!
There is a fee required to represent England at this level, and we are proud to be supporting Mason as he raises funds for this incredible opportunity. If anyone would like to support him, the link is below:

Weāre equally proud of our Electrical Manager, Mick, who was diagnosed with Parkinsonās Disease in May 2024. Since then, he has gone on to represent the England Parkinsonās Walking Football Team, competing internationally and promoting Parkinsonās awareness with games in Spain last year and Canada this year.
As Mick says, āParkinsonās doesnāt define anybody. I have now represented my country at the age of 60, so anything is achievable.ā
We couldnāt be prouder, the best of luck to both of you!šŖš
