Well done to all the Azlans who took part in the Belfast City Marathon today. As a team we cannot be prouder. Celebratory drinks are well deserved after an epic effort, especially our captain who completed his first full marathon today.

👏 Good luck to all the Azlans taking on the Belfast City Marathon tomorrow! We’ve got two relay teams and several runners tackling the full marathon and the many players running for and supporting fantastic charities.

🏆 Celebrating Player Success

🏅Gareth Anderson Award for Services to Inclusive Rugby

This award is presented to an individual or organisation that has consistently supported inclusive rugby, championing the work we do and helping to make the game accessible to everyone, regardless of age, ability, culture or sexuality.

This year, the Gareth Anderson Award for Services to Inclusive Rugby goes to Adam Wilson-Yendall. Over the years, as captain, Adam has shown to be the embodiment of what it means to be an Azlan player.

He leads by example, on the pitch, where he plays with commitment and tackles harder, and off the pitch, where he is dedicated to the game and teammates, ensuring that both new and long-standing players feel valued, supported and respected.

Aside from everything else, he also invests time in developing newer players, offering guidance, encouragement and practical support to help them build confidence and grow their skills.

We look forward to his continued leadership in the new season ahead as we prepare for the next evolution of our team.
