  • Wales Rugby League 2013 Annual Report 2
    1 WALES RUGBY LEAGUE 2013 ANNUAL REPORT Period April 2013-March 2014 WELCOME FROM WRL CHAIRMAN Brian Juliff Hello and welcome to our 2013 Annual Review. The cover picture is from the Rugby League World Cup at the Millennium Stadium and highlights the exhilaration and pride of representing your country at the highest level of International Rugby League by a player born, bred and developed through the ‘Wales Rugby League Pathway’. In terms of performance, the North Wales Crusaders led the way with promotion to Championship 1 which was a huge success for Rugby League in Wales and led to some ground breaking community work being done in the region, which in turn will strengthen the foundations for the game to flourish. It was a pleasure to witness the passion of the Crusaders travelling band of supporters when they defeated London Skolars at New River Stadium, White Hart Lane, to secure their right to promotion. The board of directors at the Crusaders enter the new season under no illusions as to the enormity of the task of surviving in Championship 1. Clearly investment in the squad will be necessary to push on and the club will be keen to attract new partners/sponsors to enhance their wonderfully vociferous and very popular group of fans. North Wales Crusaders have also set up a Charitable Foundation in the region which supports the growth of disabled sport in the area and have expanded their community portfolio by launching a new wheelchair rugby league club team. South Wales Scorpions are on a slightly different trajectory, of course, with the focus on the pathway from our South Wales Academy to Senior Rugby League for our emerging Welsh talent and this team will grow steadily stronger over the next few years.
