2018
DECEMBER
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

31.12.18

Happy New YearWe wish all our players, coaches, families, friends and supporters, a very happy New Year. 2019 is an important year for our club as it is our centenary year. In 1919 the original name of the club was Stanley Nibs. The headquarters were at the Wagons and Horses pub and then the club moved to the Miners' Arms at Lee Moor in 1964. When the Miners' Arms was closed by the brewery, the rugby club was offered similar facilities at the Ship Inn across the road from the Miners' Arms. The club then formed a junior section, run by Ian Harris and David Sampson, with Alan Gibb joining a few years later. The junior section has become one of the most respected setups in amateur rugby league circles, providing the professional game with an abundance of players,some who have gone on to also represent their county and especially their country at international level. If you want to read more about the history of the club, please read our History page with photos of the teams through the years. If you have any photos or more information please email the club at stanleyrangers@aol.com.
