GIRLS can meet and train with two of Warrington's England Women rugby league stars on Thursday night.

The first of the HeRLegacy sessions, in partnership with the National Lottery, were delivered in Hull, St Helens and Whitehaven at the weekend – with more than 250 girls of all ages taking the chance to show their skills to England players.

And there are six more sessions over the next week – including in Warrington this Thursday night.

There will also be an online session on Thursday, December 15.

Sessions are completely free, and open to girls aged 5 to 16 – and will be attended by special guests from England’s World Cup squad.

Tara Jones and England captain Emily Rudge, who hail from Warrington and play for St Helens in the Women's Super League, will be on duty at the University of Chester’s Warrington campus.

Jodie Cunningham, the RFL’s national women and girls development manager, said: “I’m so excited about the opportunities on the back of the World Cup, and last weekend was a fantastic start.

“To see so many girls turning up to Hull, St Helens and Whitehaven to get involved in Rugby League was really inspiring for all of us.

“And we’ve already had a massive amount of interest in the other sessions we’ve got coming up over the next week.

“We’ve tried to arrange the sessions for the towns and cities where Women’s Rugby League already has a strong presence.

“Tara Jones and Emily Rudge will be at the Warrington session on Thursday.

“And for any girls who can’t make the physical sessions – or even if anyone wants another chat – we’ve got the online session on December 15.”
