Warm-hearted Rangers under-eights spread lots of Christmas cheer

Warm-hearted players, coaches and parents connected with the Saddleworth Rangers under-eights rugby squad helped to brighten up Christmas for local families.

All at Rangers under-eights worked hard at a fund raising drive, and then presented £150 and 30 brilliant selection boxes to the Oldham Rugby League Club's supporters' group (the Yeds) Christmas collection. 

The £150 was used to buy toiletries, nappies, food and other essential items for those in need at this time of year. 

What a terrific effort from everyone involved.
