Heritage day to celebrate history of Rugby League in London

The rich history and development of Rugby League in London is to be celebrated by the inaugural London Rugby League Heritage Day, which is taking place in the capital on Sunday March 22nd.

The event – which is the first of its kind – is taking place at the White Hart Lane Community Sports Centre, the home of London Skolars RLFC, and is being staged in conjunction with London Rugby League - the umbrella body which is a partnership involving the RFL, clubs, volunteers ands other stakeholders and works collectively to develop the sport in the city and the wider region.

The day will include a host of activity including the launch of the new London Rugby League Museum, where memorabilia from clubs throughout London and the South East will be showcased.

On top of this, the Bob Evans Memorial Trophy for services to London Rugby League, will be re-established and will be presented at half time during the Co-operative Championship 1 game between London Skolars and Swinton Lions.

Also taking place on the day will be a ‘Masters’ game of Rugby League between London Skolars and Fulham/Crusaders/Broncos/QuinsRL past players.

Masters Rugby League is 13-a-side contact rugby with some rule modifications changes, including a 5m offside rule instead of 10m and different tackle rules depending on the age of the competitor.

Already confirmed for the game are former Fulham RLFC Superstar Hussein M’Barki, former Bronco Junior Paul, as well as one time London Crusaders stalwart Daryl Pitt.

Darryl Pitt said “We believe the London Rugby League Heritage Day will become an annual event celebrating the game’s history in the capital and is an acknowledgement of the efforts of everyone from loyal Rugby League supporters through to the professional players in every era.”

Also incorporated into the celebrations will be the Highgate Wood Family Rugby League Festival, featuring a boys and girls tournament highlighting the Rugby League activity in Haringey.

Refreshments will be available and that will ensure everyone involved has an opportunity to catch up with some old and familiar faces from years gone by.

For more information re tickets, memorabilia and participation, please contact Paul Thorman on 020 8888 8488 or paulthorman@skolarsrl.com.

The display was to say at the least a disgrace, two pin boards of photos, a joke when you consider that we have a population of 6 million, and that was suppose to celerbrate Rugby League in London. The beer festival was three barrels on a table. We should hold our head in shame if that is the best we could come up with.

Now you can all shoot me down , but I just couldn't hold my thoughts anymore.

it just makes me laugh that people work hard try something new with lots of planning and prep put in and all you can say is how bad it is. the day was about London RL which you are part off. put your hand up next time and volunteer and lets see your value added.

all i can say is well done to those involved. i think you have a winner to be built on. of course it can get better like all things done on a small budget and time.

May be a case of learning to walk before trying to run a marathon? The press release did hype it all just a little too much.
