Leeds Rhinos Foundation are this year featuring a Community Club of the week following the weekend home fixtures and this week’s club in the spotlight is Birstall Victoria ARLFC .
Birstall Victoria were established in 1976 with their junior section created in 1998. The club currently have an open age section and the following age groups in the junior section Under-16s, Under- 14s, Under-13s, Under-10s, Under-9s, Under-8s, Under-7s and an ever growing tots section, with teams up to the Under-10s consisting of both boys and girls.
The junior section along with taking part in league and cup games also take part in many festivals throughout the year, based at various different locations and other clubs, but the one the children look forward to the most is the Rhinos Challenge held at Butlins Skegness, which gives the younger children a sense of competition as they don’t play in a competitive league until Under-12s but also gives them all a chance to bond more as it is a full weekend festival.
The club currently play from leeside playing fields and are based at Priestley’s café bar in Birstall.
