Wakefield Ladies head coach Wayne Hirst will be in attendance and is hoping that the under-16s team will provide a pathway for young players into open age rugby.

The evening will involve a number of training drills to test different skills followed by a game. Some members of the Wakefield Ladies team will also be in attendance.

“For the first 20 minutes we want to have a bit of a debrief and welcoming,” said Hirst.

“And then they can do some of the training with the women’s side and then we will look at playing a little bit of game.
