Leeds Rugby Foundation Primary Schools’ Development Officer, Tony Aubrey commented:
"This Friday’s event is the culmination of a series of coaching sessions in Primary Schools’ in the North Leeds area.”
"And with the World Cup Final virtually upon us, this will be a fantastic event to not only involve these children in Rugby League, but to educate them about the World Cup and raise the profile of its success.”
“As well as this, it is a great opportunity to signpost the children taking part in the festival to the Guiseley Rangers club in order to get more kids playing Rugby League. This is also hugely beneficial for School-Club links.”
