Located at Warrington RUFC, in Walton Lea Rd, Richard is more than enthusiastic about the challenges and opportunities ahead. As he comments, “This is a brand new venture which is set to increase the visibility of rugby union in the area. More importantly, it will seek to raise the level of opportunity for young people and adults to learn, coach and participate in the game of rugby union.

Warrington RUFC have already made great inroads in the development of junior rugby at Walton Lea Road, with upwards of 150 children involved every Sunday morning and I believe that they have shown great foresight in committing themselves wholeheartedly to this project.”
