On Saturday 22nd June 2013, Leeds Rhinos full-back Zak Hardaker is to officially hand over the original 1980’s Headingley Carnegie Stadium goal-posts to Drighlington ARLFC to mark the opening of their new pitch for the coming season.
Hardaker, who will be joined by Rhinos ace Kallum Watkins at the event, will kick over the posts to launch them for use during the family fun-day that will kick off at 10:30am at Drighlington ARLFC, Wakefield Road, Drighlington, BD11 1DH.
Gary Hetherington, Trustee of the Leeds Rugby Foundation, donated the posts from Headingley Carnegie Stadium when they were replaced as part of the pitch renovations after the 2012 Super League season and this will be the first season the original posts will be used since their Headingley departure.
During the event, Drighlington ARLFC will host a touch and pass competition, BBQ, tombola, raffle and various events at the clubhouse later that afternoon. Ronnie the Rhino will also be in attendance.
