Grassroots Club Can Secure World Cup Dream Ticket

GRASSROOTS rugby league clubs have been given the chance win a money-can’t-buy package to celebrate the Rugby League World Cup 2021 taking place this autumn.

Tournament partner, builders’ merchants Selco Builders Warehouse, has launched a competition open to all amateur clubs in England and Wales.

Amongst the prizes will be the chance for a team at the winning club to receive a training session from players from a competing nation and six tickets to a match at the tournament. Representatives of grassroots clubs can submit entries by midnight on August 31.

Celebration of Rugby League

Carine Jessamine, marketing director of Selco Builders Warehouse, said: “We are thrilled to be a partner of the Rugby League World Cup 2021, one of the most prestigious events of the sporting year. It’s been a long wait due to the coronavirus-enforced delays but the anticipation for all rugby league fans, and followers of sport in general, will really start to build over the coming weeks. The tournament will be a celebration of rugby league and will have a major positive impact right throughout the sport.

“At Selco, we are committed to supporting the communities in which we operate so we are delighted to have put together a fantastic package for grassroots rugby league clubs to apply for. The winning club will enjoy a real buzz and see benefits before, during and after the tournament.”

Other elements of the prize include £2,000 worth of building materials from Selco for the winning club to use on a project to improve its facilities, a signed shirt from a member of the England World Cup squad and new playing strips for one team.
