Getting to Know Leigh Centurions owner Derek Beaumont
Manage episode 323760488 series 2998805
After a short break away with a new podcast format - which will continue weekly - , the Rugby League Review returns with a new special guest episode! Joe, Eithan and Kieran are joined by none other than Leigh Centurions owner Derek Beaumont to find out more about one of rugby league's most colourful characters.
In a bumper 90-minute long chat, we find out about how Derek first got into the sport, his upbringing in the North West and his company AB Sundecks - sponsors of the 1895 Cup.
In addition, the Centurions owner talks his involvement in the club, how important being in Super League is for the Centurions, and the Leythers' near future after a relatively successful start to life back in the Betfred Championship with new head coach Adrian Lam at the helm.
There's also a chat about the wider elements of rugby league including its' governing body - the RFL, how the game is marketed and the regulations surrounding licensing.
And of course, having been in the game for so long, Derek brings some funny tales to the table which you don't want to miss.
All this and more in the Rugby League Review, a podcast in association with Prost International.
