Well done to Cheshire Tiger



Watching Trafford Borough stood me in good stead for the trials and tribulations that followed with Salford.

I`m sure if they were around now they might of got away with being in a devoplment area.

Just to confuse matters there was an amateur Trafford Borough which played at Shawe View , now home to Trafford FC. this maybe the team MR was thinking about.

Don't forget Salford used to have training facilities in Urmston/Flixton'"

Trafford has a long history of schools rugby league: remember both Stockport and Trafford schools being involved in the Oldham Schools cup. It is not that long ago Rugbu Union "oop here" was in danger of imploding and Rugby League was seen as the rich cousin.

i went to Lostock High in Stretford in the mid 90s and it was all League, shame the teacher was a pie-eater. I was in the team for a bit and we won the lot. even played at the willows (but i wasn't picked and didn't play or travel

)

Trafford Borough...



i played on the under 11s!

pitch where we played was the middle of the athletic track.



and when did salford train in urmston/flixton? might have been before my time but thats where i grew up.

Keep up the good work fella.

Ah Lostock, I vaguely remember playing against them for Hope High in about 93/94 but for some reason I had them down as being from Wigan!!!

Then again it also took me about 5 years to work out Castleford weren't Castlefield

Indeed he is.



Very under rated IMHO, a bit of an unsung hero.



Nice bloke too.

Couldn't agree more. I've always liked and rated John



Sounds like really good work at Stretford High and hope there are many more to follow

Need to add ...

coached for 25+ years at a soccer-mad school ... no help until the last 5 years,

was formally told on (at least 20) times that I had to stop - if anyone knows me this was fuel (I was Union Gen Sec in my last 5 years),

never knew (outside DoE) more enjoyment, more reward, more support from pupils and parents, more sheer why-we-teach,



GO FOR IT



best years of my life.

First games tomorrow!



Stretford Year 7s in the North West Emerging Schools at De La Salle in Liverpool!!!!!!!

Is there much RL played in Partington-I used to live there but nothing existed-went to Broadoak
