, well deserved and best of luck for next season. For us we will look to enjoy the cup games ahead.
A great number of supporters made the journey to Stockport yesterday, and Director of Rugby, Dino Radice, would like to thank them all. Their support was invaluable and made a huge difference to the players. Thank you!
We are pleased that Jacob Pickering’s Rugby World Cup Ambassador statue, now takes pride of place outside the Sponsor’s lounge on the banking.
We would like to thank Jacob and his family for allowing us to have the statue down at the club.

Keep an eye out for Jacob in the Land Rover adverts and at the Rugby World Cup final!
