The Minis & Juniors Committee are bringing back the legendary Beer Bottle & Can Draw for West Fest — and we need YOUR help!

Got a lonely can hiding at the back of the fridge?

A “gift” you’ve never quite got round to opening?

Something that seemed like a brilliant idea at the time…?

DONATE IT.

The weirder, the better. Honestly — if it looks a bit questionable, we definitely want it.

Drop-offs over the next few weeks — just leave them with the bar staff, labelled for Rita

Raffle tickets go on sale very soon.

Every single penny raised goes straight back into supporting our fantastic Minis & Juniors section

Think of it this way — you clear out your fridge, we raise funds, and someone walks away with a mystery drink they may or may not regret… everybody wins. Sort of.

So go on — raid those cupboards and drop them off at the club for the attention of Rita

We say it every week… but we mean it every time.

What a group.
What a squad.
What a brotherhood.

But of course, the last word always belongs to our players — a set of lads unlike any other.

We just can’t get enough!! 🔥🏉

❤️🤍💚

The last presentations weren’t really about rugby — they were about you.

To our coaches and support staff at West Hartlepool RFC… from all of us senior players, thank you just doesn’t feel like enough.

You’re there for everything. The sessions, the matches, the tough days when nothing clicks, and the good days when it all comes together.

But more than that, you’re there for us — checking in, backing us, pushing us, and never giving up on us, even when we probably deserved it.

People see what happens on a Saturday, but they don’t see the hours you put in around it. The time you give up, the effort behind the scenes, the care you show in the little things.

That’s what makes this place what it is. That’s what makes it feel like more than just a club.

You’ve helped shape this group in ways you probably don’t even realise. Not just as players, but as people — and that sticks.

This was only a small gesture, but it came from a very real place. We’re lucky to have you, and we don’t say it enough.

From all the senior lads — we appreciate everything you do, every single week.
