Calling all Union players..
Had enough of kick and clap? Fancy running with the ball? Like leaving your mark in the tackle? Partial to a bit of biff? Enjoy the craic with the lads?
Then Rugby League is for you.

An amazing weekend in Edinburgh with @TeamColostomyUK. Playing against @GlasgowLeague and helping out in the wheelchair game against @edingiants. Both teams were really welcoming and I can't wait to get up there and do it all again!

2024 in Purple. Looking back on some of our best moments of the year 😊

Our last hurrah of 2024 took us to Port Talbout and @afi_pdrl

The atrocious weather couldn't put a dampener on the day, another one where friendships were strengthened and bigger plans for the future made.

A huge 🙌 to @Aberavon_Quins for hosting us too!

Congrats also goes to the other award winners @timcree (Purps on Wheels & Clubman of the Year) Becca Cree (Best Newcomer) & @giv_c (Lifetime Achievement)

[Aberavon Fighting Irish PDRL @afi_pdrl]

Yes the weather may have been against us but here are two groups of people coming together to raise awareness for such a good cause!
See you next year @TeamColostomyUK 💜💚

[Aberavon Fighting Irish PDRL @afi_pdrl]

With the game on Saturday being cancelled because of the weather, we decided to play a nice game of touch. We don't think @TeamColostomyUK's big Brian Jackson got the memo 😂.
@turner_m91 may never recover from this! 😂

[Team Colostomy UK @TeamColostomyUK]

2024 in Purple. 🥹

This was our PDRL rules and Wheelchair #RugbyLeague seasons in 1 minute 50.

A huge thank you to all our players, their families, our supporters, and sponsors.

See you in 2025!
