Xavier Wiggins, Co-founder of Dons Local Action, echoed this sentiment, emphasising the transformative potential of sport in the community. "We passionately believe that sport can be a force for good," said Wiggins. "Building on our strong relationship with AFC Wimbledon and its partners, we are excited to partner with London Broncos to create a win-win partnership that benefits the entire community."

MIKE ECCLES: “Things will get better this season.” London Broncos Director of Rugby & Performance Mike Eccles has assured fans that better things are on the horizon after a sticky period of form. It has been a tough run of results with three consecutive results but also injuries and unavailability of dual-registration players has meant Mike Eccles has been operating with the bare minimum in terms of players available for selection. The run doesn’t get any easier as this weekend Broncos are on the road again but this time to the league leaders Halifax Panthers on Sunday.
