Wigan St Pats v Royal Marines, Saturday 18th Feb ko @13:30 : Sun Feb 12, 2012 12:29 am
In honour of fallen Wigan Marines Liam Elms and Steven Darbyshire both killed serving their country in Afghanistan, St Pats open age team will host the Royal Marines Rugby League team on Saturday 18th February with a 1:30 KO for a spot of Rugby. Curtain opener will be an under 9's game ko at 12:00.
The challenge Cup will also be at Pats courtesy of the 2011 Challenge cup holders Wigan Warriors (I put that in just for any Loiners reading this) from 1:30 for about an hour........photo opportunity there. So if you want to pay your respects to a couple of Wigans bravest who gave their lives in a foreign land, to support their comrades, or to support one of your local amateur clubs, get in! What better excuse to avoid that interesting pastime of the "Saturday Wigan shop" with the Mrs, but don't mention "Marines" to your Mrs or she might send you on the shop on your own. Prior to the main KO a Marine bugler will play the last post followed by a minutes silence. http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/wiganstpatricksarlfc/news/marines-game-update-498561.html |
