Slightly O/T Huyton Bulldogs : Fri May 08, 2009 9:19 pm  

Hi All, Not sure if anyone has seen the press release in the Knowsley Papers or on the RFL website, but tomorrow marks a big day in the history of Rugby League in Liverpool when Rugby League returns to Huyton after nearly 25 years away. This is when the newly formed Huyton Bulldogs open age team take on the Chester Gladiators in the Rugby league Merit League. The lads have worked hard in training and it promises to be a good game, so if your not busy and dont want to watch the goons on TV then get down to Jubilee Park (Dinas Lane/Twig Lane) In Huyton at 2:30 to watch what should hopefully be a good opening game to the season. Thanks for your support.

Good luck. I go passed there nearly every week and still remember Alt Park and the Liverpool City ground.

Is it really that long ? Scary !

Played against Huyton Tigers a few times and they subsequently moved and merged with ourselves , my club at that time being UGB. There were some tough lads playing for them at the time and some decent rugby players. 'Scouse Macca 'who watches Saints was one of them for anyone who knows him.

Thought they were Huyton Hornets.

Good luck with the game, I work with a lot of scousers and they are almost all interested in the game.

It was 28-12, and no he didn't. He did make a fantastic catch on the fly though, unfortunately he then got belted by about 4 players!
