It was the Juniors end of season dinner last night at Wigan RUFC, which is hopefully the first of many!⚫️⚪️

Fantastic catering provided by the team from The Paddock Coffee House & Restaurant 🍴

Music provided the very talented Mat Bianco 🎶

The first “Juniors Coach Of The Year” award went to Jerome Weall for overcoming a tough season and coming out on top winning the Lancashire Development Cup with his U15s team🏆

Great to have a number of coaches & parents coming together to celebrate the junior section, the hard work both coaches and parents put in and letting their hair down!

We’re already looking forward to next seasons dinner!

Wigan RUFC are looking for a new Juniors Fixtures Secretary to join our fantastic team🏉

This is a key role that helps keep our junior section running smoothly, from arranging fixtures and managing schedules to liaising with opposition clubs and coaches throughout the season. Full mentoring and support will be provided by the outgoing Junior Fixtures Secretary, making it a great opportunity for someone looking to get involved behind the scenes at the club.

Responsibilities include:
• Arranging fixtures for the following season with other clubs via a fixtures secretary Whatsapp group.
• Maintaining a fixtures spreadsheet and keeping coaches updated weekly regarding upcoming fixtures.
• Organising replacement fixtures when cancellations occur.
• Managing kick-off times and pitch allocations to ensure numbers are manageable.
• Keep Junior Chairman and bar/catering manager up to date with fixtures and numbers.
• Confirm fixtures with opposition every week and exchange coaches contact details.

If you’d like to support grassroots rugby and make a real difference to our thriving junior section, we’d love to hear from you.
