RUGBY TEAM IS NO UNDERDOG WITH NEW KIT SPONSOR

Our Bramhope and North Leeds offices have become the official new kit sponsor of Leeds Underdogs Rugby League Club’s under-13s team.

The Cookridge based club, which shares a ground with Leeds Modernians on Cookridge Lane, was founded in 2012 and now consists of four teams from under-5s to under-13s. It also coaches basic skills to children from the age of three. 

In addition, the club trains lots of girls, who can play in mixed teams up to under-12s level and as a result it is soon planning to launch a dedicated girls’ team.

Emma Winterhalder, who heads up the Dacres North Leeds office, said: “Leeds Underdogs is a fantastic sports club that makes a big difference to local boys and girls across a wide range of age groups. We always pride ourselves on giving back to the local communities we work in, and with offices on both sides of Cookridge, in Bramhope and North Leeds, it’s a great club for us to support.” 

Leeds Underdogs club secretary, Diane Marshman, said: “As a fast-growing local sports club, we’re always keen to attract sponsorship from successful businesses in the area. This type of backing makes a big difference to us, so we’re really pleased that Dacre, Son & Hartley chose to lend their support to our under 13s team.”

Leeds Underdogs play in the Yorkshire Junior Leagues, which covers all of Yorkshire and Humberside. Leeds Underdogs are also an Ambassador club for the Leeds Rhinos Foundation, meaning the club’s players can be selected to be player escorts and play at half time in the Leeds Rhinos Super League games.
