Tricel Composites Supports Hunslet RLFC for Another Season
Ensuring Free Access for Young Fans and Strengthening Rugby's Grassroots in 2025
Tricel Composites is proud to announce its continued sponsorship of Hunslet RLFC, ensuring that Under-16’s can attend all Betfred Championship home games for free in 2025. This marks the third consecutive year of our partnership with the club, reinforcing our commitment to supporting grassroots rugby and the local community.
With the financial pressures associated with competing in the Championship, Hunslet RLFC had to evaluate the feasibility of continuing free admission for young supporters in 2025. However, thanks to our renewed sponsorship, families in the community will still have the opportunity to introduce their children to professional rugby league at no cost.
Hunslet CEO, Neil Hampshire, expressed his gratitude stating, “This is the 3rd year Tricel Composites have supported us. With the current financial situation and the additional costs associated with playing in the Championship, we had to consider whether it would be viable to offer free admission in 2025. Thankfully, Tricel Composites has once again made it affordable for families in our community to experience professional rugby league.”
At Tricel Composites, we firmly believe in the power of sport to bring communities together. Robbie Larkin, Head of Tricel’s Distribution Division, highlighted the importance of the initiative: “At Tricel, we are delighted to be playing our part in Hunslet’s journey and supporting the local community. We hope this support will encourage more children to attend the games and get behind the team.”
Echoing this sentiment, Steve Leat, Managing Director of Tricel Composites, added, “We are proud to be sponsoring this initiative, and hopefully, this will grow the fanbase. We wish the team all the best for the new season and encourage families to go along to South Leeds Stadium to support them.”
Last year, 60 childrens’ season tickets were issued, meaning at least the same number of parents benefitted from discounted tickets. Matchday walk-ups were harder to track, but a conservative estimate suggests at least 50 children attended each home game, again accompanied by at least one adult. This means that children and parents benefitted on over 3,000 occasions across 15 home games, and with Hunslet RLFC now competing in the championship, it is anticipated that even greater numbers will take up this offer in the upcoming season.
Tricel Composites is proud to stand alongside Hunslet RLFC and the local community. We believe in the positive impact that rugby league has on young people and their families and we look forward to seeing South Leeds Stadium filled with passionate supporters.
