Women’s sponsors get chance to train like a Rhino!

Sponsors of the Leeds Rhinos Women’s team were invited to the Bartercard Training Complex at Kirkstall for the annual training session with the team. 

They got the opportunity to watch the team prepare for their next game against Barrow before joining in some skills sessions with the team.  Caitlin Casey tested their kicking skills with a cross-bar challenge, Bella Sykes and Shannon Lacey led on passing skills and Keara Bennett and Bethan Dainton got the sponsors involved with some walking rugby.

Speaking about the night, Leeds Rhinos Commercial Director, Rob Oates said: “The sponsors have been fantastic in their continued support for the Women’s game and backing Lois Forsell and the team.  This is a great way for us to thank them and also for them to get to know the team better and have some fun by joining in with the session.”

Following the training, the sponsors joined the players for food at the training ground where there was chance to catch up and talk about the season and the ambitions for the year.

Head coach Lois Forsell said: “We are all grateful to have sponsors who are invested in the team and show an interest in helping grow our game and fulfil our potential.  We are still a young team who are trying to increase awareness of the women’s game and attract new players so having the support of local and national businesses is hugely important for us.”
