The Artisan League N1W Forecasts Sponsored by The Artisan Meat Company Last week, 7 people all predicted the same as Bar Steward. Wins for Burnage, Kirkby Lonsdale, Birkenhead, Warrington and West Park were almost unanimous. Rochdale against Vale of Lune and Northwich against Wilmslow (no favouritism there then) seemed to be the predictions that divided opinion. Great win for Wilmslow; Burnage v Blackburn fooled almost everyone and 2 postponements didn't help the predictions. Only Beerkeeper got the 5 remaining games correct and Draichgoch has now (narrowly) taken the lead. This week, everyone has gone gor a Wilmslow win, Kersal and Burnage also are favourites for wins, The games that most divided opinions are the top of the table clash at Birkenhead and the game at Rochdale.

  • Annual Report 2017 -2018
    LANCASHIRE COUNTY RUGBY FOOTBALL UNION ANNUAL REPORT 2017-18 THE SECRETARY’S OPENING REMARKS Firstly I have to thank the President, Steve Blackburn. Steve has done tremendous work over the year in travelling around clubs and representing the County. A truly approachable gentleman who has brought his own distinct sense of humour to the office. A lot of my Monday mornings have included a phone call from Steve starting with the phrase “I think I may have got away with it but……”. Needless to say the tales have me in stitches. As well as his Presidential duties he is an active member of the Disciplinary and Club & Community Committees which means he’s constantly on the go with his County missionary work. Steve has the huge support of his wife Val, who is also involved on the Mini & Junior committee. A couple entrenched in rugby and its administration, thank you both. To Rugby matters, Our Senior XV have reached the final and other reports in this booklet will cover how they got there, at the time of printing we are in the run up to the final at Twickenham against Hertfordshire whom we were runners up to in the final of the 2011-2012 season. Thanks to Mark Nelson, Steve Rigby, John Greenwood and all the backroom team, along with players who give up their time at the end of very busy seasons to support senior Rugby in Lancashire. Its an absolute joy to be involved in this side of County rugby and one which I look forward to each season.

    Welcome We are delighted to welcome CALDY RUFC to Kingston Park, Newcastle- Upon-Tyne. This is our fourth relocated home match due to the floods at Tynedale Park. We are again grateful to the management and staff at Newcastle Falcons for providing the use of their facilities in order to play our home matches. Caldy RUFC – Club History (Courtesy of Caldy web site) On February 27th 1924 when some Old Boys of Calday School, with the encouragement of the then Headmaster, R. T. B. Glasspool, they decided that they must carry on playing rugby together so the 'Old Caldeians' R.F.C. came into being at a meeting held at the Blenheim Café in West Kirby. They started playing in a farm field at Caldy cross roads and changing in the farm buildings at Croxton Farm, bathing facilities were somewhat primitive they used a tin bath which was filled from a tap in the farm Yard. In 1925 Sir Alfred Paton, an Old Boy of the school, bequeathed to The National Trust 20 acres land bordering Thurstaston Common with a proviso to the bequest stating that this area was to be available to the Rugby Club to use as a playing area in perpetuity. So Paton Field came into existence. In 1928 the club finally took possession of Paton Field and built a Clubhouse with three changing rooms. The club continued to play Rugby during the war years with the support of the school and members who came back home on leave. During the conflict the club lost a number of members killed.

  • Annual Report 2016
    LANCASHIRE COUNTY RUGBY FOOTBALL UNION ANNUAL REPORT 2016-17 THE SECRETARY’S OPENING REMARKS As ever my first task in my report is to thank the outgoing president, Tom Fitzgerald. I have worked closely with Tom for many years and have only the highest respect for him and the professionalism he conducts County business with. Tom has been the cornerstone of the day to day running of rugby in this County and has been instrumental in the formulation of new initiatives that have put us in a position where a lot of our work is seen as best practice. These include our Academy, Coach mentoring schemes and training conferences. With his close contacts and networks he has managed to secure some great players and leaders to deliver these schemes. Having spoken to Tom I know how much over and above his regular volunteering work the office of President involves, with over 150 club visits and official engagements with many thousands of miles covered. Tom is greatly supported by his wife Angela, both of whom I consider tireless supporters of this County and I am extremely pleased to class them as the closest of personal friends. To Rugby matters, Our Senior XV have reached the final and other reports in this booklet will cover how they got there, at the time of printing we are in the run up to the final at Twickenham against Cornwall whom we expect to be strong with very vocal support. Thanks to Mark Nelson, Steve Rigby, John Greenwood and all the backroom team, along with players who give up their time at the end of very busy seasons to support senior Rugby in Lancashire.
