Northumberland-based, Cramlington Rockets, the current RFL Community Club of the Year needs 1,000 rugby league fans to take two minutes and vote for them to win £25,000.

Along with a number of other rugby league clubs, they are vying for a £25,000 grant that will transform their community work.

With the midday 21st November deadline fast approaching, the Rockets are the frontrunner of all the rugby league clubs with the best chance of making the final.

To do that, they need to be top 2 in their group. They are currently fourth. Therefore they need at least 1,000 people to use all ten of their votes to help them beat the competition.

The main projects they are up against are a football club in Bishopthorpe, a children’s park in Chesterfield and a gymnastics club in Nottingham.

Therefore all rugby league fans are being asked to visit www.avivacommunityfund.co.uk and search for their project ‘Get Northumberland Rocketing! Or search for them by name: Cramlington Rockets.

It takes two minutes to register and vote and will make a big difference to the lives of many children in Northumberland.

If successful, the club will use the money to launch a new club, Alnwick Bears, and expand its network to reach 40,000 people a year.
