It might be deep into the close season for the professionals, but the tiny tots at Waterhead ARLFC have only recently had their final training session.
To mark the occasion the coach of Waterhead's mini-Warriors, Matthew Taylor, invited Oldham RLFC's mascot, Roary the Roughyed, to lead his 3-to-6 year-olds into some fun and games. The smiles on 11 tiny faces shows how much they are enjoying Roary's tuition.
