Live Sport 🏉 ⚽️ 

🏉 Warrington takes on Leeds Rhinos on Saturday at 19:30. We have beaten them on both occasions that we have played them in 2024, so I predict us beating them again based on how well we are playing this year.

⚽️ Warrington Town takes on Peterborough Sports at 3 pm

🏏 Grappenhall CC are playing on Saturday and Sunday over the weekend. Check out their site for the details.

Where Are We Today? 📸

Well done to those of you who guessed it correctly. We were by the lake on Airlift Hill, a new park over by Omega.

Thanks
