LEIGH CENTURIONS new community foundation and is looking to use 32 years’ experience to ensure that it is a success. Speaking to the club’s official website, Barton said, “I’m very excited about the community foundation and now is the right time to take it forward. We’re hoping to inspire children and other community groups and clubs and I want to continue in the same vein as when I was CEO. We will be focusing on schools and young people and using the club’s good name to inspire people in the community. The World Cup is approaching and we’re also keen to develop the player pathway and promote employment opportunities for past and present players.” Leigh Centurions is clearly a club with a superb set-up both on and off the field of play and this is reflected by the terrific campaign that they are having at present. They appear to have everything in place to allow them to continue to be successful over the coming years and it seems like an exciting time to be involved with the club. Everyone at Rugby Club Magazine would like to wish them the best of luck for the rest of the season. www.rugbyclub.biz 51
