Around 150 players from under 8’s up to and including Ponteland’s first XV attended the training session at Ponteland Leisure Centre which was lead by Falcons stars including club captain Matt Burke, Loki Chrichton and Joe McDonnell.
Ponteland RFC Treasurer and Work Mate Rate organiser Andy Lawson said, “It was an excellent night on Wednesday It was particularly good to have the full spectrum of players from our club (under 7s to 1st XV players) being able to benefit from being coached by professional players who are at the top level of the sport.”
“From Andy Buist running a great session with 20 under 7s and 8s players to Matt Burke coaching the 1st XV backs, it was a tremendous night for the club and a big thank you goes to the Falcons and their community team."
Falcons head of Marketing Mark Foster said, “With the opportunity of a squad visit on offer, the game on November 10th delivered our biggest take up of Work Mates Rates since we first ran the promotion last year. And once again this opportunity, which can be used for any type of event, not just coaching sessions, will be made available to the biggest group attending the Wasps game as a Work Mates Rates group.”
With around half of the allocated 1,000 places already having been snapped up by pre-bookings, any groups thinking about taking up this fantastic deal are urged to act as soon as possible.
