LDRL TEAM MAKE HISTORY

The Bradford Bulls LDRL team made history by competing in their first ever festival at the weekend!

The action got underway from 10:30am at Leeds Modernians RUFC, with a 11-strong squad taking part representing the Bradford Bulls. 

Our Learning Disability is one of nine teams running under the Bradford Bulls umbrella in 2023, which includes a Women's team, Physical Disability team and a Wheelchair team. 

Having lost 5-3 against Hull KR, our LDRL team won their four other matches including an 8-3 victory over Leeds Rhinos!

The Bradford Bulls are a wholly inclusive club and remain committed to providing pathways for all to participate in Rugby League.

Bradford Bulls Foundation Chief Executive Chris Chamberlain said:

“This is a great achievement to see a new Learning disability Rugby League team off the ground and competing. This has taken a lot of hard work from a number of people; however I’d like to take this opportunity to say a special thank you to Mick Colborn, Darren Collins and Chris Chamberlain for their continues work”

There are sponsorship opportunities available for the team and players for this 2023 LDRL season, for further information please contact jonathan.armstrong@bullsfoundation.org
