Pontefract
It’s a good opportunity for
people to exercise in a different
manor to which they normally
would. There is a mixture of
abilities playing which is great
and we have twelve regulars
at the moment and are four
weeks into training. We hope
to keep attracting more players
over the next few months.”
Community
“I would consider us a community club.
“We are currently going into local schools to try
to get more junior involvement at the club. The
majority of our players and families
who come down to the club are
from Pontefract, so it’s hard
not to be a community club.
Our club charity is Prince of
Wales Hospice which family
members of the club have
been in and as a result the
club wanted to give back to
them.”

Challenges/Ambitions
“The biggest challenge for
senior rugby is keeping the first team in
Yorkshire One and retaining certain players and
coaches. The main issue for the junior and girls
is player retention and keeping the departments
growing!
The ambitions for the club are
to keep growing as a club in all
departments; mini, junior, girls
and women’s whilst keeping
our high standard of men’s
senior rugby going. We
would like a new clubhouse
and better facilities as we are
on the verge of outgrowing
our current facilities. So
updating the clubhouse or
a new clubhouse is the main
priority over the next five years, this
should then enable us to get the club
into more avenues within the community.”

“I played through the junior age groups at the club
and also used to watch my dad, Mark Armstrong play. I
now play alongside my business partner Colin Swift in
the 3rd team and we have sponsored the team’s shirts
for the past three seasons.
We were happy to finish the season in mid-table
and were able to pick up some good victories along the
way. It was great to see the first team being successful
and I’d like to take this opportunity to wish everyone at
the club the best of luck for the future.”
