IT'S GAME ON FOR YOUNG RUGBY PLAYERS

5th June 2007

Pupils from Steeton Primary School are dressed for success when they take to the rugby pitch thanks to Northern Rail. A donation of £300 from the local rail operator has enabled the school to buy much needed new rugby kits for its Year 5 and 6 boys and girls teams.

Malcolm Brown, Area Director, Northern Rail said: “We have strong ties with the Rugby Football League and through that partnership we are a firm supporter of the grass roots level of the sport so we were delighted to be able to help these young players.”

Mr Webb, Key Stage 2 Coordinator at Steeton Primary School added: “I’d like to thank Northern Rail for their support. They serve our community so they are an organisation that the children can easily identify with.”

Northern Rail’s community engagement programme builds on the partnership
approach its parent organisations Serco-NedRailways have brought to the franchise.
