 Rugby league.Just like to say well done Saints in winning the Grand Final against the odds. Saints were wrote off due to injuries at the beginning of the season but have finished up winning the league shield and the grand final. Once again well done the Saints.

Like wise! I too have Senior Moments, in fact I posted the last comment without even realising I had done so!  The old grey matter is letting me down a lot these days. I can't even remember . . . . . Oh sh**e. . . . Forgot what I was going to say now!

James Lang: RGC is the perfect place to further my rugby career

James Lang has lofty international ambitions, but believes he is in the perfect place to make them come true after enjoying an excellent start to life with RGC.
Lang made the move to North Wales in the summer after receiving a call from Rupert Moon, general manager for the North Wales development region.

RUGBY: Bonus points prove little solace for dejected RGC

TWO bonus points will be little consolation to RGC after suffering a dramatic, gut-wrenching defeat at Cardiff Met.
The Gogs outscored the students in tries but still lost 28-27 in South Wales after giving away a torrent of penalties, with captain Kelvin Davies shown two yellow cards.
Head Coach Chris Horsman said he was disappointed with the loss

My nephew was in Cardiff for the Wales match today and got interviewed by Dan Walker in the fan zone mainly I think because he had the audacity to be wearing his England shirt!
He was thrilled to talk to him because he has just started on a journalism course. If you are looking in Tom, any tips for him?

England were garbage last night, and are rightly already out of the tournament.

The first ever host nation to be knocked out in the group stages.... it was embarrassing.  &shake&

Well done to RGC upon beating Merthyr by scoring a winning try with only 4 seconds left on the clock.

RGC are now in the Final of the National Cup at the Millennium Stadium, I believe.
Title: Re: RUGBY ....CRUSADERS have relocated to Stadiwm ZipWorld
Post by: SteveH on April 29, 2021, 10:08:06 am
NORTH WALES CRUSADERS have relocated for the 2021 campaign and will play their home fixtures at Stadiwm ZipWorld in Colwyn Bay, writes RYAN GOULD.

As Crusaders are unable to play at Queensway Stadium because of COVID-19 regulations, they have signed a deal with Conwy County Borough Council to call Stadiwm ZipWorld home in 2021.

Stadiwm ZipWorld is a 5,500-capacity venue with a range of first-class facilities available on site, including a state-of-the-art gym, corporate boxes and a hospitality area.

North Wales have been based at Queensway Stadium in Wrexham permanently since the 2017 campaign after leaving the Racecourse Stadium, but COVID-19 regulations mean they’ve had to look elsewhere and Stadiwm ZipWorld has proved to be the perfect venue.

Crusaders chief executive Andy Moulsdale said: “We’ve had to adapt on and off the field because of the pandemic, but this move to Stadiwm ZipWorld creates so many opportunities for the club.

“While we’ll be doing everything we can to look after our current fan base in Wrexham by working with them to arrange transport to matches once guidelines allow, this is a chance for us to gain more followers across the whole of the region.

“Stadiwm ZipWorld is a fantastic facility in a great location, with the beach only a couple of hundred metres away and Conwy Castle a couple of miles down the road.

“At Queensway, we’ve been limited to a couple of income streams because of the facilities on site, but our new home will allow us to welcome fans, sponsors and partners to matches in the hospitality area and improve the overall matchday experience we offer.

“We hope all our supports appreciate the decision we’ve had to make and get behind us every step of the way, as they always do, in 2021.

Conwy County Borough Council principal leisure manager Mally Tidswell added: “We’re delighted to welcome Crusaders here to Stadiwm ZipWorld.

“It’s been an extremely difficult year in sport and we’re pleased to have been able to step in and provide a facility for them to host their League 1 fixtures in 2021.        ref NWleader
