What's it like these days? 20 years ago (has it really been that long) there was one club for me to play at - Woolston. There seems more clubs around now but what's the state of play? How about schools rugby? What is the clubs interaction like with the primary and high schools in the town?

I like going to watch Crosfields with my lad, have a few beers and watch some entertaining rugby.
It can be a decent standard if a little lacking of discipline at times.

Just moved to the town
Could someone list the amateur clubs & their relative league positions?
Any recommendations ?
It is easy enough to find fixtures via the internet ?
Previously I used to watch amateur RU Saturday afternoon at my previous place of residence ( the only "rugby" available )
Thanks in advance.

What part of town have you moved to?

It's been a while, what happened to Grappenhall and Laportes?

Laportes went a long time ago didnt they? Not sure on Grapenhall though.

Just read that Grappenhall Giants now come under Latchford Albion.

I've been away over a decade.

Trying to remember all the teams i played against as a kid for Parkside so far I have.

St Judes
Newtown Knights
St Pats
Hindley Giants
Hindley Juniors
Ashton
Grapenhall
Woolston Rovers
Royton Tigers
Standish
Black brook
Halton Hornets
Leigh East
Leigh Rangers

Trying to think of more

Telford is another

I found a Guardian quote back in 1995 saying there were only 10 primary schools playing RL. How on earth we allowed that to happen god only knows. I don't know the exact number now, but there are 35 primary schools entered into the towns 7's competition this year. Add to that a big push by Wire to re-connect with the towns local clubs and schools and I think we should see a significant increase at amateur level over the next few years.

The clubs that I would list as 'Warry' area are;

Latchford
Rylands
Crosfields
Bank Quay
Woolston
Burtonwood
Culcheth
Golborne

Would we include Clock Face ?

No not Clock Face, would be interested to know how many players all these clubs have on their books.

I know Crosfields have loads, think Latchford do too which is great. Rylands have always been big too.

Burtonwood Bulldogs have over 150 kids registered form pups 4-6 yrs upto u18's.
Not sure on the Burtonwood Bridge but they have a first team at least so must have say 20-30 players. Not bad for a small village, nearly 200 people playing rugby league on a weekly basis.

Rylands now has two teams operating at open age, 2nd div and 4th div. They have an U18, U16, U15, U14, U13. They then have teams all the way from ages 12-7 with ages 9, 8 and 7 having 3 teams each. There are then various 5 and under teams.
