A Masters team and tournament is taking place on 23rd August at the clubhouse. At the moment the team is training on a Thursday night at clubhouse at 7pm and we could do with some new players.
 
Masters Rugby League can only be played by persons aged 35 or over, is strictly a social version of the sport and the rules are slightly modified to cater for the older gentleman. There are no winners, no champions and no cup finals. It is all in the spirit of the game rather proving a point or settling a score. The most important rule is “Everyone has to buy a drink for their opposite number”.  There are different rules for different aged players and more information can be found on the RFL website.

So all you over-35s, why not come round to the clubhouse on Thursday evenings and enjoy your rugby again.

Eight years ago Stanley knocked Leigh Miners out of the National Cup but this time the visitors proved too strong for Rangers. Leigh Miners Rangers - leaders of the NCL Premier Division - are two divisions above Stanley and stayed in control throughout most of the game. Stanley took the lead from the kick off with a Joe McDermott try and a Whitehead penalty but after that Leigh took the lead to be 30-6 ahead at the break. With the advantage of the slope Stanley had a good period of pressure resulting in a Matt Firth try successfully converted by Whitehead. However, Leigh replied with a try from Brennan and finished 40-6 in this preliminary round of the Carnegie Challenge Cup.
