Great work from club legends Dan Hooton and James Harrod who both finished a half marathon around Sheffield this afternoon. They were running for George Wayman, a fellow blue boy who is currently battling cancer.

Still time to donate to a very worthy cause.

Just under a week to go! 🏃‍♂️

On Sunday 21st June, a group of former C**ts players and coaches will be taking on a half marathon in support of their friend, teammate, and fellow C**t, George Wayman, who is currently battling cancer.

The run will start and finish at Tigers, setting off at 11:30am and expected back between 1:30pm and 2:00pm.

We’d love to see as many people as possible down at the club to cheer the runners off and welcome them back home. Your support will mean a huge amount to both the runners and George.

If you can’t make it but would like to support the cause, donations can be made here:

Every donation, no matter the size, is greatly appreciated.

Come on Tigers – let’s get behind Team George! 🏉
