RL in Halifax : Tue Jun 24, 2014 11:46 am
I didn't quite hear it properly but before Sunday's game there was an announcement along the lines that Brooksbank school had won the championship of some age group and as a result will be playing at Wembley in a curtain raiser to the Challenge Cup Final. This got me thinking about amateur/junior rugby in Halifax. Alongside Brooksbank we have Halifax college unbeaten and national champions whilst Siddal top The Conference Premier League. Not bad for a town of our size, it's just a pity this talent doesn't feed through to Fax. I sometimes wonder why we bother with a junior set up just for SL sides to swipe the best talent Halifax produces.
