Newman take Rugby Pro-Active NinesThe Wolves new Secondary School competition the Pro-Active Nines for Year Sevens reached the final stages last Wednesday at Victoria Park. The Warrington Wolves Community Team launched æPro-ActiveÆ to continue the work of the Try Hard Programme which has established 14,000 coaching contacts in all the local High Schools. Special Projects Officer Brian æBadgeÆ Chambers enthused, "The competition which featured eleven out of twelve High Schools demonstrated the excellent skill level of our local school boy players. It was also notable for the participation and excellent performances of Lymm and Bridgwater High Schools. Many new players have been introduced to Rugby League by our work in the Secondary Schools and it is hoped to extend the Pro-Active format to female teams and other age groups in the near future." After very competitive semiûfinals between Cardinal Newman and St. GregoryÆs and William Beamont and Bridgwater. Newman and Beamont contested the final. In a pulsating match Cardinal Newman High eventually ran out winners by 3 tries to 2. Frank Hawley, veteran Super League linesman and Newman Year 7 Head was full of praise for Pro Active, "It is a great idea. All the games were great spectacles. WeÆre pleased with the way we performed, but from the clubs point of view IÆve seen lots of highly promising kids and its now up to the Wolves to nurture and keep them."
Prop Idols Go Public in WarringtonLondon Bronco's 'Prop Idols' role into town this weekend. Last week, London named three young players who will compete against Warrington Wolves in this Sunday's fixture. The three winners are: James Hersey, 20, who plays for Leicester Tigers Under 21 side; 25 year old Bristol publisher Michael Lowis; and Sam Wilson, 21, a New Zealand student who has played League extensively. The trio has made it through hundreds of applicants to win the contest, and one of them will land a contract with the Broncos after their trial period. All three will be on display on Sunday. This will be an opportunity to prove themselves at professional level. The scheme has seen the Broncos receive nation-wide media coverage. London Coach Tony Rea commented, "I think the 'Prop Idol' concept has been received so well, not just by the public, but the press as well, because of what it brings to the game as a whole, particularly London. Of the three winners we have two young men who have never played our game before. That's fantastic. It can only help our game in the south." For your chance to see the lads in action come down to Wilderspool Stadium on Sunday 2nd February at 3:00pm.

Fortunately, Wolfie has got some spare time at the moment and we would encourage people who also have some time and are willing to help to get in touch with Warrington Borough Council School Crossing Patrol. Wolfie would love to help with school crossing on a permanent basis but he has got a very busy schedule ahead of him with the season starting." The Council is looking for School Crossing PatrolÆs in the following areas:
