World's first LGBT Rugby League team celebrate JBG? 4th birthday.
Manchester Canalsiders ARLFC have teamed up with JUST A
BALL GAME? (JBG?) to become a partner
club for the anti-homophobia campaign
organisation, and this weekend helped us celebrate our 4th birthday.
Chilly November training was interrupted as squad members were handed out JBG? goodie bags and cake for a welcome breather and then pose for photographs in support of the campaign workload.
‘The Canalsiders’ fully support the aims and objectives
of the JBG? workload and were happy to invite along representatives to their training session and become a partner
club as part of organisations “TIME FOR ACTION” campaign
The club
members have this to say about what they are trying to achieve.

Rugby League Club offers an opportunity for our community to get fit, learn to play Rugby and meet new friends and enjoy the social side as well as
the rugby itself. We are delighted that through our Partnership with the Salford City Reds Foundation they will be
providing support & coaching to Manchester Canalsiders ARLFC. What a way to
learn rugby league, from coaches from a Professional Rugby League team."
