The Community View: Saints welcome the Robins

On Friday 7th March, Saints hosted Hull KR in the first of three consecutive home games for Paul Wellens’ side!

Have a read and see what the Saints Community Development Foundation got up to throughout the gameday down below!

PRE GAME

We had a table in the PSD 1873 Lounge for the game, and we welcomed our partners Hattons Travel and Smyths Toys to the match at the Totally Wicked Stadium.

We once again had our Wheel of Fortune game take place in the North Stand of the Totally Wicked Stadium. The game is for fans to throw a Rugby ball through a hoop ten times in 45 seconds, and if they did it a certain amount of times they will win a spin of the wheel. Prizes range from winning items from our partner BRSK, to winning match tickets for a game at the stadium.

The prizes on offer for this particular game included a mystery prize, key rings, sunglasses and a water bottle.

We had a special guest join us for the coin toss ahead of kick off. Bobby, who won a competition to do the coins toss got to help the referee and captains prior to the game and enjoyed a brief chat with Saints Captain Jonny Lomax, Hull KR Captain Elliot Minchella and referee Jack Smith.

Several of our Angels squads then performed their gameday routines in front of the North Stand at the Totally Wicked Stadium.

That was followed by a performance from the A-Star Saints Angels, as they faced the West Stand for their routine and then we had community clubs hold the flag on the pitch pre-game and flags waved around the ground prior to kick off.

That was followed by them waving the flags, as the lads ran onto the pitch to get the game underway.

HALF TIME

During the break, we had half time Rugby League games going on across the pitch at the Totally Wicked Stadium. This allows children from local amateur clubs the chance to experience playing on the pitch at the home of the Saints, with some potentially getting the chance to do so in the future for the first team squad.

Our A-Star Saints Angels also performed their routine during the half time break for the fans to enjoy.

THE GAME

Hull KR had the better of the opening stages, pinning Saints deep inside their own half and taking a 0-4 lead. Saints fought back to lead but Hull KR went into the break 6-10 up, scoring with a few minutes of the first half remaining.

Two early second half tries put the Robins in firm control at 6-20 up. Saints tried to wrestle their way back into the game following a Welsby try but it wasn’t to be, as Hull KR won 10-20 at the Totally Wicked Stadium.
