Winners announced in the London Rugby League Community Club Awards

Winners announced in the London Rugby League Community Club Awards 

Congratulations to all the Award Winners in the London Rugby League Community Club Awards 2024! 

The Awards were announced and presented last night by London Broncos Captain, Will Lovell, at a Celebration of Community Rugby League in London & South-East. The event also helped raise significant funds for the London Rugby League Foundation to support Community Clubs across the region.

Congratulations also to all those who were both nominated and short-listed for the awards. There were nearly 80 nominees from 18 different clubs, which is a new record and shows the strength of the Community Game in the area. Award winners were selected from the Nominations by a panel from the London Rugby League Foundation, the London Broncos, the London Junior League, the RFL and a representative from the broader Community Game.
