Academy's thank you to the Senior Reds

The supporters group approached the Academy and offered to support those in the younger age groups – Under-9s to Under-16s – who were in need of financial aid to help in their development.

As a result, their contributions helped those youngsters who required additional support with the purchase of essential equipment.

Academy Manager Gary Probert said: “We are incredibly grateful for the kind support of the Senior Reds for creating this opportunity and for their support towards the Academy as a whole.

“We have been able to support a number players through this opportunity and thanks to the Senior Reds generosity will be able to do the same next season.”
