Leeds Rhinos • Your own Rugby League Stories

Just bit of fun and reminiscing. Would like to hear people’s stories who have played the game.
I grew up looking down on the Old Fartown ground, from top of York avenue. Moved for HS and ended up playing for Salendine Nook Schoolboys. I was a footballer to be honest and RL def not my first sport, but enjoyed it. Learnt early on that would wreck my body though so stopped playing aged around 16.
Andy Raleigh (went on to play for Giants) smashed my shoulder and never been right since!
Crowning glory was a Yorkshire Cup final played at Dewsbury Rams ground. Big slope on that pitch vs St John Fisher school.
They were far better organised school and were 22-0 up at half time, playing up the considerable slope.
Madness happened though and we scored 24 unanswered points in second half, again playing up-hill. They were shell shocked. Jeez I love sport!
