What an amazing achievement so far.

Good luck on Saturday, and enjoy the game.

This Saturday our U16s girls are in the playoff final at Batley Bulldogs stadium, 1:30pm kick off.
After winning the league, they play Leigh who finished second and were the only team to beat them this season so this will be a cracker.
It would be great to get as much support for the girls as possible.
Hope to see you all there.

🖤🤍💛
