Fancy a read of my first game of #RugbyLeague with @TeamColostomyUK 👇

There's a massive weekend coming up with @WTComFoundation next month when we take on Wakefield Trinity at PDRL and Wheelchair Rugby League as part of the @WTrinityRL Inclusion Round. 🏉 We're so exited that the PDRL game is being played before the @SuperLeague game between Wakefield and Hull KR, our first super league curtain raiser! We kick off at 3.45pm with the Super League game at 5.30pm. It's also live on @BBCSport 🙌 Tickets for the day are available now via the Wakefield Trinity website. wttickets.fixturesdigital.com/match-tickets/… Sunday sees us heading to Outwood Academy for a @wheelchairrl friendly. Kick off is 1pm and admission is free. Get behind your Purps and get along to a game if you can. #upthepurps💜 #rugbyleauge #stomaaware #upthetrin

🎬" The message within the gang of us is to say that if you've got a stoma there is still so much you can do. It's life enhancing, and watching the game today was life enhancing" Some fabulous words from Dave Woods from @SkySportsRL following our game with @RugbyLeeds PDRL last Saturday. Challenging outdated perceptions of what people living with stomas can achieve, and inspiring and empowering those who do, is why we play. #upthepurps💜 #stomaaware #rugbyleague

🎬 "it was a really good competitive game. We held our own against a really good Leeds Rhinos team". Post game thoughts from @woodsy1321 fresh from his 4️⃣ try performance 🏉 #upthepurps💜 #stomaaware #rugbyleague

Someone asked me today what Unfrozen Now actually is. It’s a place where the people who know you can leave a guide for the moments when you don’t know what to do next. That’s it. That’s the whole thing. apps.apple.com/gb/app/unfroze… #UnfrozenNow #Autism #SEND #TaskParalysis

This one’s about purpose, pride, and backing yourself. No matter what. First up is @tomkaye1990 🙌 #upthepurps💜 #stomaaware #rugbyleague #stomastories

It’s safe to say the best bit of Policing left are our colleagues. The team of five I work with everyday are the best people you could ask to work alongside. I realised the other day that of all people, I’ve never built them. So long overdue, here they are. 🫡 #ThinBlueLine 🚨
