Cup - trophy returns to wakey. : Wed Dec 06, 2023 11:24 pm  

Seems a trophy/cup has been bought at auction & returned to Trinity re won in 1890@at Warrington.
Which player it was awarded to, a wakey player I am not sure but Matt Ellis has received it with thanks & is well pleased with the heritage.

It was presented to the team when they beat Warrington in an exhibition game in London back in 1908. Wasn't it the 1st RL under floodlights??

Quite a shock result too as 1908 was expected to be Warrington's year.

Looks a pretty good trophy too.

Trinity Heritage found it I think. It'll look great in the new stand entrance.

We should have the Yorkshire cup in there too as we are the last winners.

You've been on form recently, but that's the joke of the year for me, though I did miss six months worth, so there may be others.
