Crack Riley, Martin Griffiths and John Loughnane are pictured with this season's President Derek Dyer on arrival at Red Rocks. On the second of twelve Wids Cultural Heritage Routes, the trio's trek took them past the Rainhill Hospital ground where the club played its first ever game in September 1924, followed by three parks - Eccleston Park, Grange Park and West Park. Derek explained that he would have loved to take part but needed to conserve his energy for running touch for the first team league game. 90 points ensured he got more than sufficient exercise. With a blank date for the 1st XV this weekend, Crack has suggested walking to Great Sankey to watch the Seconds play Eagle. Let's check the weather forecast first.

Details of the twelve Wids Cultural Heritage Routes will be in the next match programme (North Ribblesdale).
