International Legend Jon Callard casts his eye of the Pontefract Team

The Ponte lads held their own against professional players
- Steve Hough - Club Chair

Tonight was a training session with a difference. Our senior squad took the short trip to West Park Leeds RUFC for a joint session with National League 1 outfit Leeds Tykes. Our squad were put through their paces by the Tykes Head Coach, Bath Legend and former England International Jon Callard.

Our new Chair Steve Hough was on hand to watch the session and commented afterwards: "It was great to watch the Ponte lads compete with professional players in set pieces and in open field play. They held their own, and getting individual feedback from Jon Callard was priceless."

We are grateful to the Tykes for allowing us to join their session and wish them every success in this years campaign. Pontefract RUFC continue to build towards the new season, with a pre-season friendly against York this Saturday, and an evening friendly against Leo's on August 25th.
