Last week the Salford Red Devils Foundation hosted four Sky Try tournaments for local schools ranging from Year 7 to Year 10 at the The Salford Stadium.
There were a range of high schools in attendance from areas such as Salford, Manchester, Bury and Trafford and all were terrific and performed extremely well.
Salford Red Devils Foundation Manager Neil Blackburn said: “It was fantastic to have so many youngsters present at the The Salford Stadium from schools in and around the local area.
“It was a really well organised event from our team and all the schools looked like they really enjoyed it and it only furthers our relationships with these schools in Salford, Trafford, Manchester, Bolton and Bury.”
Salford Red Devils Player Performance Manager Danny Barton said: “There was a lot of talent on show throughout the four days.
“It’s really pleasing to see how good some of these young players were and their enthusiasm for health and wellbeing and the sport really shone through.
“We could – and hope to – see some of these players in our Salford Red Devils Academy sides in the coming years and possibly even in the first team further down the line.”
