Featherstone Rovers launch classy away kit

Featherstone Rovers have launched their new away kit – and it’s one to savour.

Still in a blue strip, this time the West Yorkshire club have adorned light blue as opposed to dark with new signing Jesse Sene-Lefao and halfback Tom Holmes modelling the kit.

Featherstone have been making further strides off the field too, launching their own Tackle It strategy and have built on that further with “a state-of-the-art CCTV system” and will be promoting their Tackle It principles at this weekend’s friendly against Wakefield Trinity by handing out leaflets to attendees which speak to the ambitions of the club in this area.

This comes in the wake of an incident at the end of last season as well as allegations of discriminatory abuse from a small section of the crowd at the Millennium Stadium which flies in the face of the history of the club.

their intentions in this area have been laid bare in the leaflet they intend to distribute on Sunday which reads: “Matchdays are for families and friends to enjoy and make memories. We want our games to provide an environment that will inspire and entertain people of all backgrounds and generations.

“We will not tolerate inappropriate behaviour or language, nor any form of discrimination.

“Failure to comply will result in you being asked to leave as well as possible exclusion for future matches.

“Poor behaviour costs the club financially and could also cost us our on-field success.”
