Conor McGinn MP Member of Parliament for St Helens North
St Helens bid to be a host borough and venue for the 2021 Rugby League World Cup had support for our communities and grassroots sport as a top priority.
I am delighted therefore to hear that the Blackbrook Royals JRLFC have been awarded £11K by the Rugby League World Cup 2021 capital grants programme to refurbish their shower and changing room facilities.
The club and its volunteers and members do excellent work in Blackbrook and beyond, particularly in introducing young people to sport, and this is well deserved.
Rugby League has a hugely positive impact on our community and this funding will help it continue to thrive.
