Recruitment Solutions (NW) Ltd were proud to serve as Official Match Sponsor for the recent Challenge Cup fixture between Rochdale Hornets RLFC and Wigan Warriors.
The tie saw Hornets take on the reigning World Club Champions in a competitive and determined performance that reflected the club’s ambition and resilience. The occasion drew strong support and reinforced the significance of the Challenge Cup within the rugby league calendar.
Man of the Match Award
As part of the sponsorship, the Recruitment Solutions team selected the Man of the Match, recognising the player whose contribution had the greatest impact on the game.
With high intensity throughout and standout performances across the field, the decision reflected overall influence, work rate and leadership under pressure.
A Personal Connection
Recruitment Solutions (NW) Founder, Karen Reynolds, spoke about both the fixture and her longstanding connection to the club:
“It was a great day — thank you to everyone at Rochdale Hornets RLFC. We were proud to be there backing the club.
“I’ve been a lifelong Hornets fan, and after my father — who was CEO at the time — passed away, I joined the Board as Commercial Director. There have been a few twists and turns along the way, so it was particularly meaningful to be back at the club as Match Day Sponsor.
“I thought the team gave 100% against the World Club Champions. They fought right to the very end, and that says a lot about who the Hornets are and what they’re looking to achieve.
“From the minute you arrive, the hospitality is top notch. I’m looking forward to the rest of the season.”
Strengthening Local Partnerships
Recruitment Solutions continues to support organisations across the North West, with a focus on partnerships that reflect shared values and community commitment. Sponsoring this Challenge Cup fixture marked both a professional collaboration and a personal milestone.
The event highlighted the continued strength of ties between local business and professional sport — and optimism for the season ahead.
