🏆 Congratulations to St Peter's Catholic High School's Year 7 boys' rugby team, who will no-doubt be basking in the glory of an incredible 38-0 victory over The Deanery in Saturday's National Champion Schools Final at Wembley.

The pinnacle of school rugby league, the lads were outstanding from first minute until last in the final and produced some fantastic tries.

We were proud to play a part in their success, with the Elcons logo adorning the back of their playing shorts.

Their trophy-winning team on the day included Louis Peel, grandson of our very own Jo and John, and as an organisation we are delighted to share in their success. But this achievement isn't just about one individual: it represents a collective pursuit of glory, and the hard work of everyone which led to such a special day in the capital.

We hope you enjoyed the celebrations, lads: you deserve this moment 👏

Twice the action, twice the celebrations! 🎉

🐝 Last weekend saw a Rochdale Hornets double-header take place at the Crown Oil Arena, with their men's and women's sides both taking to the field.

While the results were a huge bonus, the afternoon served to demonstrate the 'One Club' mentality which continues to drive them forward, and we are proud to play our part in supporting both teams on their journey.

Keep up the fantastic work, Hornets 👏
