Press Release
Warrington Wolves Academy Australia Tour 2023
The Warrington Wolves Academy players and staff will go on a three-week trip to Australia at the end of their regular season. The 2023 Australia Tour is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Academy rugby team and staff.
The tour will allow them to experience top-class training in excellent facilities and to play 3 competitive games as part of their professional development and education. Games have been arranged against St Marys, West Tigers and Canterbury Bulldogs. The team will be based in Penrith and Sydney. They will also be able to experience the rich Australian culture by visiting iconic landmarks.
Warrington Wolves Supporters Trust & Squadbuilder are helping with the organisation of the tour and have pledged a minimum of £10,000 to the fundraising effort.
This is a massive challenge logistically and financially, but already fundraising events have taken place including a Curry Night Q & A in January at The Village. Other fundraising events arranged include a Race Night at Monks Sports Club on April 21st and the Squadbuilder Quiz Night on June 19th at The Halliwell Jones Stadium when all First team and Academy players and coaches will be in attendance.
The party consists of 42 players and staff. Each tour member has been challenged to raise £1500 towards the costs of the tour. Please support our Academy team in their quest to give the young players the best possible experience on their professional rugby league pathway.
A GoFundMe Team page has been set up where donations can be made to each team member:- https://www.gofundme.com/f/warrington-wolves-academy-australia-trip-2023
