League Notes: NRL Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander Program Wins Beyond Sport Award

The National Rugby League's flagship community-based Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islande­r program, School to Work, has "won the global Beyond Sport award for governance." Aimed at "getting indigenous students through their higher school certificates and on to fulltime study or employment, the aspirational mentoring scheme -- which comes with the backing of the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet and 10 of the code’s clubs -- took out the Sport Federation or Governing Body of the Year award at a ceremony in London" (THE AUSTRALIAN, 10/21).

Betway has "signed a three-year deal" with British Racing to become an authorized betting partner. The firm is now making voluntary payments to "help fund British racing and, in turn, will receive a number of benefits of being an ABP." Betway currently sponsors the Betway Queen Mother Champion Chase at Cheltenham and the Betway Chester Cup, among other races (RACING UK, 10/20).
