After weeks of planning and sleepless nights Catterick Crusaders returned back to Robertson Road pitches, for the first training session of the season. Every precaution was taken to make the session Covid compliant to meet all the new guidelines. We saw many new faces and plenty of returning faces to the pitches on Saturday. In total we had an amazing 84 players attending the first session of the season learning all the basics after being away from training for so long but following the rules and guideline laid down by the RFL. After the amazing attendance at the first session we hope to see everyone again over the coming weeks and fingers crossed we get loads more new faces turn up to the coming sessions. If you are interested in participating please book yourself onto the relevant age group and make sure you register on Sports TG on the link below.

Saturday saw Crusaders return to training after Lockdown. During lockdown the club as a whole ran a fundraising event to allow Catterick Crusaders to have a fee free year for all those attending. During this fundraising time we had lots of physical challenges carried out by members of the club and wanted to recognise the effort put in by the junior element from the club who chose to do there own challenges to raise money to help this great cause. Ryan Broadley ran a mile a day throughout February which was an amazing challenge and was completed showing great determination. Ollie Astle cycled 100 miles in freezing wet weather but showing true grit in completing this challenge. Katie and Callum Coburn ran, walked and cycled 10 miles a day for 10 consecutive days working through blisters and sore muscles to complete their challenge. Everyone who participated in the Crusaders Challenge put a great effort in and assisted in allowing the club to open training for free to everyone attending making rugby league more accessible to the wider community.

As the pandemic restrictions have started to ease, our Touch Rugby set up, Saxon Crusaders, have taken the decision to join the England Touch Association for 2021. By joining the ETA it is hoped the Saxons will be able to maximise playing opportunities in the ETA Development Competition as well as any RFL Competitions. The team has already confirmed its entry into the Weston-super-Mare beach tag festival in August, as something different, and it’s shaping up to be a great weekend. The club holds two Touch Rugby sessions per week. Our first session is a thriving Social Touch Rugby session on a Friday night starting at 6:30pm. We them have team training on a Saturday at midday, to help hone our competition skills. If you’d like to get involved in either session, please don’t hesitate to contact Jason by emailing. crusaders_chairman@outlook.com
