It was a great morning at the Sponsors Breakfast held recently at Wakefield Trinity. Stanley Rangers are one of the Ambassador clubs with Trinity and one of the Stanley Rangers junior players won the community prize draw to be the mascot in the official team photo. She is featured in the centre of the photo. The club’s Ambassador Scheme aims to build relationships with community clubs in the Wakefield district to get more children involved in rugby league, and potentially inspire the next generation of Trinity players. Having been nearly two years in the planning, the scheme, which focuses on children between the U7’s and U11’s age groups, got the go ahead in December 2015, and has since seen two roadshow workshops held in 2016 and 2017 which saw over 400 children from six junior rugby clubs in the area attend.

Rangers battled bravely throughout the game but were unable to prevent a flow of points from the hosts who finished 100-1 winners with a field goal from Stanley's Richard Cattley as a consolation point.

Last Saturday's home game against Waterhead Warriors saw Barbara Rawlinson's last home game before she retires from )pen Age team manager.  Barbara has been a volunteer at Stanley Rangers for 28 years. She became involved with Stanley when her son Gareth joined as a junior. It was especially nostalgic as the linesman Steve was actually a coach at Stanley and coached Gareth and was there for his first ever game - little did they know he would also be at Barbara's last home game as Open Age team manager. In 2007 Barbara was awarded Secretary of the Year in the National C9nference League Roll of Honour.
We would like to thank Barbara for all her support and hard work she has given to Stanley Rangers over the years and wish her a very happy retirement
