Rugby League in Trafford

Rugby League has a sporadic history within the Trafford area, but there has been a severe lack of a presence since the demise of the old Trafford Borough team. After the success of the Reds’ development work in Manchester it was decided that we would push back our boundaries even further and employ a Trafford RL Development Officer. The move to our new stadium site in Irlam will see the North Trafford area being extremely close to the Reds future home ground.

Since 2009 SCR Foundation has been working at developing links within the Borough of Trafford, which sees us now have exceptional links with Trafford North Schools Sport Partnership – giving us access to all schools in that area and a fledgling RL hub in Altrincham at Blessed Thomas Holford High school. Since this piece of development work began we now have high schools from Trafford regularly playing and winning competive events, SCR First team squad using Blessed Thomas Holford as a training base and the creation of South Trafford Raiders as a local community club.
