Rugby Football Union – North Competitions Committee RUGBY FOOTBALL UNION – NORTH COMPETITIONS COMMITTEE PROPOSED RESTRUCTURE – LEVEL 7 AND BELOW IN THE NORTH WEST Following a consultation meeting requested by a number of North Lancashire clubs, it was requested that the RFUNCC consult with all clubs in the north west on a proposal relating to reducing travel time at level 7 and below within the North West. The view of the clubs in attendance is that long distance travel is having an effect on them to retain players, when for an away game some clubs are leaving early in on a Saturday morning, but some clubs suffer with availability of players due to working commitments. It was also felt that some clubs hen travelling long distances have a 1 st Team that is a ‘home team’ and an ‘away team’ and as such it was not creating the best competition within the league. The proposal that was put to the North Competitions Committee was to change the structure at level 7 in the North West and create a single league supporting level 6. The view was that this would become a strong and competitive league and would provide a great platform for the promoted clubs to do well in North 1 West. The new level 7 league would be composed of the top 7 clubs (after promotion and relegation) from North Lancashire & Cumbria 1, and South Lancashire & Cheshire 1. The format below this new level 7 league will consist of 3 leagues feeding into the new Level 7 league, these will be split by geography and will consist of Cumbria, North Lancashire and South Lancashire & Cheshire. Initially we would like to consult with clubs at level 6, level 7 and level 8 to get the views of the clubs on such a proposal, to gain the views and moods of such a change, and as such we are not proposing yet to put this paper to any form of a ‘vote’ we would like your club’s views on if you would support this proposal in its current form, or not, and any additional comments you may have. We will then collate the responses and take on board any comments before then putting the proposal to an official vote, which would take place in November. It is hoped that with the support of clubs this new structure could be implemented as soon as 2013/2014 season. I have included below a structure of how things would have looked in the new level 7 league if this proposal would have been implemented from the start of the 2012 – 2013 season. If you look at the composition of the below league and then look at this season’s North 1 West, the travel commitments are not a million miles away, as all clubs in this new league would be looking to move up the structures, which would bring with it a comparable amount of travel.

  • Welcome to St Benedict's
    Welcome to St Benedict’s A very warm welcome to players, officials and spectators of St Benedict’s. This is one of many long away trips for the Cumbrian club, as their only short hop is to Kirkby Lonsdale - and that takes an hour! We made the trek up to Workongton in September and played a side which was continuing its success in the North Lancs and Cumbria Division by winning its first two games in North 1 West. They made it three by beating us. After dominating the opening exchanges, Warrington sudeenly found themselves behind when a speculative kick and a fortuitous bounce gave Benedict’s the lead after 20 minutes. Although Warrington replied with a converted 30 yard try from prop Elliot Johnstone, two Benedict’s penalties gave the home side a six point half time lead. The second half saw Benedict’s adopt a running, rather than a kicking, approach to their game and this allowed them to score a further twelve points without reply, although Warrington could take some comfort from the fact that they lost three key players through injury.. St Benedict’s was founded in 1974, a Rugby Union Club in what is still a hotbed of amateur and professional Rugby League. I am sure that many of us Warrington RL (and Wigan) supporters remember those trips to Workington and Whitehaven in the 50s, 60s and 70s. They were always hard games and we rarely won, playing against the likes of Frank Foster, Ike Southward and Dick Huddart on their own midden. We also have a further connection with the Cumbrian coast, as one of our more illustious Vets, Kevin Tamati, coached at Whitehaven for two years.

  • Welcome to Broughton Park a Very Warm Welcome to Players, Officials and Spectators of Broughton Park
    Welcome to Broughton Park A very warm welcome to players, officials and spectators of Broughton Park. It is over two years since we last met and we look forward to a game played in the usual competitive spirit which has always been associated with our clashes. Broughton Park is one of the oldest clubs in the country, having been formed in 1882, just eleven years after the founding of the RFU. Over the years, it has nurtured many international players and more recent stars have included, Tony Neary, Tony Bond and Kevin O’Brien. (I must con- fess that I actually turned out for Park in my dotage, when I played in the twos and threes with people such as Arthur Light, a past president, who was also a professional wrestler, and a Swiss international, Hans-Peter Endress, who was also managing director of the global instrumentation company, Endress & Hauser.) Games against Park have always been feisty and the result was often in favour of the home side, to the extent that we started to think of Hough End as our bogey ground. Our last four meetings show two wins for Park and two wins for Warrington. In season 2014/2015 Park notched up two good victories but in 2015/2016 we won both fixtures. In November 2015, we came back from being 19-13 down with just 12 minutes to go when Matt Connelly touched down under the posts and Darren Norman converted. The win in April 2016 was much easier and we won 34-8 and virtually condemned Park to demotion to South Lancs/Cheshire 1.

  • Northwich RUFC (Team of the Town)”
    Author: John Blower April 2016 All Proceeds to the RFU Injured Players Foundation The reader will hopefully appreciate the great time and effort put in by John Blower in the creation of this condensed history of the club. John has been closely associated with the senior side and readers are asked to forgive the omission of detailed history of our Junior and Mini sections and of course our successful Ladies and Girls sides. But most of all I hope that readers will donate generously to the RFU Injured Players Charity Foundation an organisation which has served John well and continues to do good work for those suffering unfortunate injuries in this sport which we love. Thank you. Edited by Warren Davies 1 Introduction This book is a condensed history of the club now known as Northwich Rugby Union Football Club written by our own John Blower. Northwich RUFC formerly known as Mid-Cheshire College RUFC (MCC) was established in 1964 as a casual team playing on an ad-hoc basis, the book traces its journey from a semi organised bunch of friends to the highly organised club outfit of today playing in level 6 in the RFU league system. The RFU Injured Players Foundation (IPF) is to benefit from the sales of this publication. The author John Blower is one of the IPF’s clients. John, a long serving player and club member of Northwich RUFC, suffered catastrophic spinal injuries playing in a 1st team league match against local rivals Warrington RUFC in 2003 and has since been assisted by the IPF.
