WE ARE a newly-formed rugby league team, operating from Nelson and Colne College. The club currently play in the North West Counties League with some success.

Now we are looking for people to become involved with the club in all areas. We need a stronger playing squad to enable us to cover injuries and work commitments.

You do not have to have played the game before as we welcome all and give them the coaching and encouragement to play the game.

If you are interested, contact me or come along to a training session - on Tuesday or Thursday evenings at 7pm at the rear of the College in Nelson.

If you are interested in helping the club in any other way - support at games, as water carriers, or assisting with fund-raising, we would be very grateful.

We are also looking towards building up a youth section and anyone interested in playing should contact me.

It is also our aim to qualify more coaches to promote the game in the area, and are determined to see rugby league develop in the Burnley and Pendle areas.
