☔️🏉 JUNIOR WEEKEND ROUND-UP 🏉☔️

Schools are back. Rugby is back. And, right on cue, the rain is back.

Nature is healing. 😂

Another very busy Sunday for our junior Lions, with teams scattered around the North West while parents once again enjoyed their traditional weekend hobby of standing on a touchline wondering why they didn’t bring a better coat. 🌧️

Plenty to celebrate too…

🦁 Our Under 6s played their first official games as a team at Hindley! A brilliant milestone for our newest Lions, many of whom have made the step up from Cubs. The start of what we hope will be many, many years in a Lions shirt. 💙💛

🏆 The Under 10s and Under 11s both picked up wins on the road, at Wigan St Judes and Hindley respectively.

💙💛 And a special mention for our Under 14s.

The scoreboard says a 12–18 defeat away at Hindley, but sometimes the scoreboard doesn't tell you very much at all.

When these two sides met at Westhoughton previously, Hindley won 52–0.

Today? Just six points between them.

Even more importantly, this is a team that nearly folded three years ago after losing players. They've had to rebuild, stick together and keep going and performances like today show just how far they've come.

No win recorded in the results column, but a massive win in terms of the progress of this team. We're incredibly proud of them. 👏🦁

💪 Our U12s had a tough afternoon away at Halton Farnworth, while the U16s came out on top in an absolute cracker at home against Newton with a try in the last seconds in the corner to secure the win, 28-24.

And across the younger age groups, plenty more festival rugby for our U6s, U7s, U8s and both U9s teams. 👏

Huge thanks, as always, to our coaches and volunteers for giving up their Sunday, and to the parents and families for providing lifts, encouragement, washing approximately 14 tonnes of muddy kit and generally making the whole thing possible. 😂

Most importantly, well done to every single Lion who pulled on the shirt today.

Same again next weekend then.

Hopefully with slightly less rain.
Obviously it'll rain. ☔️😂

ONE CLUB. ONE PRIDE. 💙💛🦁

A huge thank you to all of our fantastic stallholders for attending and helping make the day so special.
