And the Wigan Schools U13 town team of 1980-81, coached by Derek Birchall. Most of these lads were in the U15 and U16 team which I coached in 1982-84. Any famous names or faces?

A bit of reminiscing on my retirement - old team photos from early 80s. Cardinal Newman U13s in 1981, my first year in Wigan Schools RL. Any names and faces recognised?

All the best to @St_John_Fisher @pe_sjf in the National @Schools_RL Y7 final at @wembleystadium in August 25th. Please support the school by buying your Cup Final tickets. nitter.cf/st_john_fisher/status/…
The Y7 RL team are playing in the National Cup Final as the curtain raiser before the Challenge Cup Final on 25 August. We are selling Challenge Cup Final Tickets for £30 each (RRP £50) to help cover the cost of the trip. If you are interested please contact school.
We think this is 1984. U14s Cup Final winners at Central Park were Cardinal Newman (Hindley). Sent in by Daz Kelly (front row, far left). Any more old team pics around? nitter.cf/babiesyedz/status/1018…
