The Blacksticks Blue Lancashire Junior Challenge Cup Final match between Ormskirk U16 and Preston Grasshoppers U16 was unable to be played last Sunday at Sefton RUFC because the playing surface of the pitch had become dangerous owing to torrential rain.
The match will now take place on Saturday 3rd May 2008 at 12.45pm at Preston Grasshoppers ground in Ingol Preston. This match has now become the curtain raiser to the Bill Beaumont Cup match (k.o. 3.00pm) between Lancashire and Warwickshire.
It would be nice to think that we have a great number of supporters to cheer our lads on, in this final match in the Juniors for them. It will also mean that if we win this contest, we will be the first club ever to have won the Lancashire Junior Challenge Cup 4 times in succession. COME AND SEE HISTORY IN THE MAKING!!
Also, as many of you may already know, our No 9, Ryan Glynn, who is already an England International at U16 scrum half, was presented to the stadium at Sale Sharks 2 weeks ago at the Sale vs Newcastle match, as their youngest ever signing of a professional contract, so this game on Sunday could be Ryans swansong. Let’s give him a GREAT send off.
