Quote: Always behind the sticks "It's a long time since I played in the claret and black of Stockport ARLFC (1982) but we did have a decent side for a few seasons. We really struggled to attract players from an area dominated by strong local RU sides such as Heaton Moor. We used to play on a pitch in a valley below the flats on Lancashire Hill which I think has gone now and changed at the 3 Crowns pub nearby. I think the club folded in the late 80's, by which time I'd had to give up playing because of a chronic knee injury.
I wish anyone well in resurrecting interest in amateur RL in Stockport.'"
I have press cuttings of Bury RL/Prestwich RL matches against Stockport. Sunday league matches.
