PRESS RELEASE

THE ROYAL BRITISH LEGION CHALLENGE TROPHY

Woolston Rovers will once again face The RAF in The Royal British Legion Challenge Trophy this coming Saturday (31st October). Kick off is 2.00pm at Monks Sports Club, Hillock Lane, Woolston, Warrington, WA1 4NF. All proceeds from the day will go towards the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal.

The event took place for the first time last year and was a resounding success and we are hopeful that the day this year will be even better; we attracted a large crowd twelve months ago who were treated to an entertaining game between two committed sides with many players having travelled the length and breadth of the country to be involved.

The day will commence at 12.30pm with various activities around the ground and several of our Junior sides will have stalls at the game, including a BBQ, that will enable them to raise funds for their respective team as well as making a donation to the Poppy Appeal. The Warrington Lions will also once again be offering their very generous support. The Match Sponsor is Cheney Payroll Services, whilst the Matchball Sponsor is Made Profiles Ltd, Associate Sponsors are Club Chairman Paul Bray and President Harry Crank and the Man of the Match Sponsor is Bramley Buffaloes Rugby League Club.

Rovers PRO Dave Whalley said, “When we were approached by the RAF to take part in this game last year we had no hesitation in saying yes. We are all fully aware of what sacrifices our very brave servicemen and servicewomen have made, and continue to make, and we were honoured to be involved in what was a great occasion. We sat down after the game last year and decided that we would make it an annual event and we hope that as many people as possible will come along and support the day. We are very fortunate in this country to have fantastic armed services that are the envy of the whole world so we will do anything possible on the day to raise funds. This year we are delighted that Santander have come on board to support us on the day and help to increase the profile of the event; to have a Banking giant, that is one of the biggest companies in the world aiding us is fantastic and we are very grateful to them.”

If anybody has any raffle prizes or auction items that they would like to donate to help with the fundraising that would be very much appreciated and if you would like to be involved on the day, either by having your own stall or by volunteering your help then please contact Dave Whalley on 07809 647014 or by e-mail at whalley_dave@hotmail.com and we will be very grateful to take you up on your offer.
