YORK City Knights' community section is keen to build on the success of their first tag rugby session with York-based children's charity Lollipop.
The charity, which provides activities for youngsters with hearing impairments, teamed up with the Knights and the Oaklands Sports Partnership to "sample the buzz of tag rugby" with a session at All Saints School, which saw club mascot Norris the Knights meet the children, as pictured right, and be joined later on by Knights players after their training session.
Lollipop chairperson Andrea Gitsham said they would now look at introducing regular sessions.
Knights development chief Jason Ramshaw added: "There are some talented youngsters in there and everyone went home really enthused about playing tag rugby.
"The youngsters were really excited to meet Norris and have their pictures taken with the players. It's something we're looking to follow up and hopefully it can be the start of a good partnership."
Anyone wanting details about Lollipop can email Andrea at lollipopcharity@york.fslife.co.uk or phone Susan Outhwaite at York District Hospital on 01904 726741.
