Widnes Vikings can confirm that their first Learning Disability Super League fixture since it’s return will be against Warrington Wolves on Saturday 10th July.
The Vikings will welcome the Wolves to the DCBL Stadium this weekend, and will be returning to training on Thursday (8th July) following a two-week break due to the rise in Covid-19 cases in Halton.
Each player will be allowed two parents/carers/support staff in attendance on both training and match days, including this Saturday’s first fixture back.
The inclusive training sessions take place at 6:15pm until 7:15pm each week and are welcome to both current members of the team and newcomers. A host of events and tournaments are already planned for the 2021 season, which includes a World Cup festival in October.
After going from strength-to-strength since its inception, Learning Disability Rugby League at the Vikings has helped make the sport inclusive to all and bring some unforgettable experiences to those taking part. This has included festivals across the country, being able to play on the DCBL Stadium pitch in front of Widnes supporters and taking to the field at Anfield in front of thousands of spectators at Magic Weekend.
With the support of title sponsors, Community Integrated Care, LDRL Main Sponsors Emerald Kalama and partners Emris Services, GMB and Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service – Learning Disability Rugby League has returned to the DCBL Stadium.
