The council has played a strong part in Warrington hosting part of the tournament, which will raise the profile of the town and the role we are playing in championing disability sport. It is also great to recognise our contribution to bringing world class sport to Warrington (again!), with teams across the council working tirelessly on many events and initiatives to build excitement this Autumn.
So far, we have welcomed the Papua New Guinea Men’s team and seen them defeat the Cook Islands at Halliwell Jones Stadium on 25 October, as well as the Samoa v France game on 30 October. We have also hosted the PDRL World Cup at Victoria Park, with the final at Halliwell Jones Stadium.
Remaining fixtures at Halliwell Jones Stadium – RLWC quarter-final
There still plenty to look forward to with a much anticipated quarter final at the Halliwell Jones Stadium. For more information about Warrington’s part in the tournament visit the RLWC webpage, and to buy tickets for the games in Warrington, visit the RLWC website.
