Rugby League News: Whitehaven’s Rallying Cry to Cumbrian Supporters
Whitehaven coach Kyle Amor has issued a passionate plea to Cumbrian rugby league fans, urging them to pack out the Ortus Rec for the club’s final two home games of the season. The team has faced a turbulent few months, having to field limited squads in recent victories due to financial challenges.
Amor, who answered an SOS call to become Whitehaven’s new head coach, is determined to help his hometown club fight off relegation from the Championship. Currently sitting 12th in the table, Whitehaven are just two points above the drop zone with five games remaining.
Addressing the local community, Amor emphasized the critical situation facing the club, stating, “There’s no guarantee with the numbers we have in our squad that we’ll even get to the end of the season.” He praised the players for their unwavering commitment, noting they are “pulling on the shirt not fully 100 per cent with injuries and stuff like that, but they are taking to the field for the cause and for the town of Whitehaven.”
Amor, who has enjoyed a successful Super League career, is passionate about ensuring a professional rugby league presence in Whitehaven for the next generation. He stressed the importance of the community rallying behind the team, not just for the short-term goal of avoiding relegation, but also for the long-term future of the sport in the region.
The coach urged Cumbrian rugby league fans, regardless of their past relationship with the club, to come out and support Whitehaven in their final two home matches against York Knights and Halifax Panthers. He emphasized the need to “get down, support it, enjoy the day and hopefully we can show that grit and determination that we have been doing over the last couple of weeks.”
Amor’s impassioned plea underscores the critical juncture facing Whitehaven Rugby League and the importance of the Cumbrian community’s support in securing the club’s future. As the season reaches its climax, the town’s rugby league enthusiasts are called upon to play a vital role in the team’s fight for survival.
