Thanks to Leeds Rhinos’ win last Friday in the First Utility Super League against Hull FC, more local school children benefited from two great initiatives from Leeds Rhinos Foundation.
Jimmy Keinhorst, Jordan Lilley and Jamie Jones-Buchanan all crossed for tries in the win, which meant that as part of the Leeds Rhinos Foundation 'Score to Explore' initiative, supported by Geoff and Gill Caplan, three deserving Leeds children were given a free place on an outdoor adventure trip.
Kicking goals on the night, Jordan Lilley converted all four of his chances, playing his part to ensure that four more children would receive a free pair of X-Blades boots for each of his successful kicks.
The 'Kicks for Boots' incentive is supported by the charity's key partner Cover Structure with the young players receiving the boots selected from the teams who attended the fixture to take part in the match day as half time teams and player escorts.
The lucky winners of the boots following the Hull FC game were Logan McConnell from Drighlington under 8’s, Lennon Smith from Shaw Cross under 8’s, Alfie Todd from Stanningley under 8’s and Jaiden Ferguson from Farnley under 8’s
Both 'Kicks for Boots' and 'Score to Explore' aim to reward young people in the community and will run throughout the season, so keep an eye out for our running tally to see how many boots and trips have been given away.
Four more youngsters benefiting from the Kicks for boots initiative takes the overall total of winners for the season to 16 with the tally of children going on an outdoor adventure now up to 18.
