Stocksbridge RUFC

Globe Holidays sponsored Stocksbridge Rugby were once again victims of the weather, as a snow filled Coal Pit Lane stadium forced their Counties 4 Yorkshire (phase 2) South clash with Thornensians RUFC to be cancelled early on Saturday morning. Along with several other postponed fixtures, a convenient date will now need to be agreed for a reschedule. This is an unprecedented 7^th postponement during this season, & it’s difficult to recall a worse season for weather affected cancellations. The 1^stXV were able to take in the 6 Nations International victory for England over Wales, as the Manchester Road HQ is showing all 6 Nations fixtures live on the big screen. Skipper, that man Adam Frith & his charges must now focus on next weekend’s trip to Leeds, to play the students of the Medics & Dentists, before further travels to the East Coast the week after, 24^th February,  to take on Hessle RUFC under the Humber Bridge. The next scheduled home fixture will be on Saturday 2^nd March when Hessle will make the return trip to the Coal Pit Lane stadium, kick off 2.15pm.
