The pandemic forced the Rugby League World Cup 2021 to be postponed for a year but that change of date has helped launch an exciting new era at Cramlington Rockets.
Without the delay, the passionate North East club would not have been in a position to secure the £175,000 of funding from RLWC2021’s CreatedBy programme, which is being used to revitalise the Eastfield Community Pavilion.
The refurbishment of the facility - transferred to the club by the local authority - is set to provide the Rockets with a top-class home while also serving as a thriving community hub which can help keep kids off the street in the deprived area of Eastfield.
