Swindon St George Wheelchair Rugby League team has announced a major funding deal with the Rugby Football League, worth over £3,000.
The award, which comes via Sport England has been warmly welcomed by the side’s Head Coach Tony Ellis. ‘This will be a big boost for all of us’ he said.
‘It will help us considerably with outgoings such as training venue costs, travel expenses and wheelchair maintenance.’
It is also hoped that this welcome news will help the club in its recruitment drive which, as Ellis points out, is open to all comers, non-wheelchair users included, regardless of age, sex, experience or ability.
‘We would welcome any prospective players wishing to register with us’ he continued, ‘Please contact me if you are interested in playing, helping or sponsoring us in this fast, fun and all-inclusive game’.
Anyone looking to join Swindon St George or who is able to sponsor the team is asked to contact Tony at Swindonstgeorgerl@outlook.com.
