Training sessions at Stanningley Rugby League Club will be much more fun – thanks to new equipment funded by Bramley and Stanningley’s councillors.

Kevin Ritchie, Caroline Gruen and Jools Heselwood recently visited the club to see the under 9s in action and they certainly seemed to be making the most of the new tackle bags as they raced up and down the pitch.

The Under 9s train at the Arthur Miller Stadium in Rodley and they are always looking for new players, both boys and girls are welcome and anyone who is interested is encouraged to get in touch.

Councillor Heselwood (Lab) said:

“We were delighted to be able to help fund the new training equipment for the club. It is so important that young people are given the opportunity to take part in sports such as this so they can develop vital skills such as team work and discipline as well as having fun.

“Being part of a team is such a fantastic feeling and it really helps develop that team bond when you have the right equipment to use.”

While you’re here…

Producing your daily dose of West Leeds Dispatch comes at a cost!

There’s the hosting of the website you’re reading now, running our popular e-mail newsletter, membership of independent press regulator Impress, attending summer events, paying for equipment etc etc.

We need at least £200 a month just to break even – that’s money currently coming out of the pockets of dedicated volunteers who are passionate about what’s happening in our communities, connecting you with local groups and organisations as well as holding decision-makers to account and championing local issues.

And all that’s BEFORE we even think about paying something for people’s time – for instance, our editor puts in more than 24 hours a week in his ‘spare’ time to ensure The Dispatch publishes daily.

To put it bluntly, after nearly four years of daily publishing, we are not sustainable!

And we need YOUR help to continue …
