WELCOME TO<br />
THE ALL GOLD<br />
WRITTEN BY CHRIS WILSON<br />
4<br />
This edition of the <strong>All</strong> Gold<br />
accompanies our fourth<br />
home meeting with North<br />
Wales <strong>Crusaders</strong> this<br />
season – surely something<br />
of a record!<br />
While we lead the series 2-1,<br />
the <strong>Crusaders</strong> finished just<br />
outside the top eight and<br />
will be one of the favourites,<br />
along with Hunslet – who<br />
we meet in a few weeks –<br />
for the League 1 Shield.<br />
Our challenge got off to a<br />
bad start when we lost to<br />
an inspired Ironmen side<br />
at Stebonheath Parc. I was<br />
unable to go as I was at<br />
Weston super Mare with the<br />
Gloucestershire Warriors,<br />
but having been to the<br />
Welsh club’s new venue<br />
before with the Warriors’<br />
Conference League South<br />
side a couple of years ago,<br />
I can attest that it is a great<br />
venue for rugby league and<br />
I’m sure the Ironmen will<br />
make it a fortress.<br />
On another Welsh note,<br />
it was pleasing to see<br />
that match official Jamie<br />
Jones was awarded his<br />
first League 1 match as a<br />
referee this weekend as he<br />
officiates at the Oxford vs<br />
Hunslet game in Abingdon.<br />
Having seen Jamie in action<br />
at Community and Student<br />
level, his elevation to the<br />
League 1 refereeing ranks is<br />
richly deserved and we wish<br />
him well for a successful<br />
career as a rugby league<br />
referee.<br />
Following<br />
the<br />
announcement that Wigan<br />
would play Hull in Australia<br />
next season, there was<br />
news that Super League<br />
chief, Roger Draper, thinks<br />
that there could be more<br />
on-the-road games in the<br />
future.<br />
Those with long memories<br />
will recall that, in 1998,<br />
there was a round of<br />
Super league fixtures in<br />
venues across England and<br />
Wales. The mighty Wigan,<br />
including Gary Connolly,<br />
Jason Robinson and Henry<br />
Paul, were due to play St<br />
Helens at the Vetch Field<br />
in Swansea and they were<br />
invited to stop off here<br />
in Cheltenham to take in<br />
the (then) Cheltenham<br />
Warriors’ game with Oxford<br />
Cavaliers.<br />
At the time, Wigan<br />
were twinned with the<br />
Cheltenham side who wore<br />
the Wigan away strip from<br />
1997. There is a photo of<br />
Andy Farrell presenting<br />
Warriors captain Ronnie<br />
Haines with a ceremonial<br />
sword in a pre-match<br />
ceremony. Quite what they<br />
made of the game is not<br />
recorded but they made<br />
short work of the Saints<br />
36-2 the following day on<br />
their way to a Grand <strong>Final</strong><br />
triumph over Leeds.<br />
What price an On The Road<br />
Super League fixture at<br />
Kingsholm with an <strong>All</strong> <strong>Golds</strong><br />
game on the undercard in<br />
the next few years?<br />
Once again big thanks to<br />

DANCING ON THE<br />
TOUCHLINE<br />
WRITTEN BY GEORGE COWBURN<br />
6<br />
Since the dawn of civilisation (ie the start of<br />
rugby league) teams have had nicknames.<br />
Batley were the Gallant Youths, York the<br />
Wasps, Wakefield the Dreadnoughts,<br />
Warrington the Wire (a reference to one of<br />
the local industries) etc.<br />
More than one side rejoiced in the moniker<br />
of “the old steam pigs” and if you are old<br />
enough to have seen Winter rugby league<br />
and proper scrums you’ll remember the<br />
clouds of steam rising from the two sets of<br />
forwards doing battle in the scrums on a<br />
freezing cold day.<br />
In the 1990s, however, there was an<br />
explosion of new names as the marketing<br />
men saw the possibilities a new image and<br />
an iconic mascot could bring – particularly<br />
in attracting the younger spectators.<br />
Keighley lead the way and we have covered<br />
the success of “Cougarmania” in our<br />
programme for the Keighley match.<br />
With the advent of Super League and<br />
summer rugby league in 1996 everybody<br />
just had to have a name and the animal<br />
kingdom in particular was scoured for<br />
ferocious beasts to adopt. Swinton kept their<br />
original name the Lions (named after the<br />
White Lion pub associated with their early<br />
days) and were joined by Tigers, Wildcats,<br />
Cougars and Lynx from the big cat world.<br />
Warrington chose alliteration becoming the<br />
Wolves and were joined by Rhinos, Bears,<br />
Bulldogs, Eagles and many others. Some<br />
clubs chose fighting men - there were two<br />
Warriors – Wigan and Whitehaven – and<br />
Vikings, Giants, Centurions, Knights etc, etc,<br />
etc.<br />
With the new names came the mascots,<br />
some more famous and successful than<br />
others. Bradford being Bradford had two<br />
- Bullman and his smaller sidekick Bullboy;<br />
and who could forget the man dressed as<br />
a pie at Wigan home matches. He didn’t<br />
last long in that dangerous occupation.<br />
Wigan were not known as the pie eaters<br />
for nothing. (People from St Helens and<br />
elsewhere claim the pie eaters label is due<br />
to the Wigan miners being the first to break<br />
the 1926 General Strike and go back to<br />
work, eating “humble pie” although Wigan<br />
www.allgoldsrugby.com<br />
@<strong>All</strong><strong>Golds</strong> facebook.com/<strong>All</strong><strong>Golds</strong>Rugby
Some simply stuck to their<br />
old names - Workington<br />
are still Town and St Helens<br />
the Saints (although there<br />
is a St Bernard mascot) and<br />
you can still find Rovers<br />
at Featherstone and Hull<br />
Kingston.<br />
is, allegedly, the pie eating<br />
capital of the world. But I<br />
digress).<br />
Halifax bucked the trend<br />
and for some strange reason<br />
decided to be known as the<br />
Blue Sox and had the daftest<br />
pair of mascots in the league<br />
Billy and Bluey whose<br />
behaviour was akin to that<br />
of adolescent schoolboys.<br />
Mercifully for the good<br />
folk of Halifax the Blue<br />
Sox moniker was quietly<br />
dropped and the mascots<br />
consigned to the dustbin<br />
(Room 101?)of history.<br />
Just about the only thing<br />
Oldham were the best at<br />
in the early days of Super<br />
League was their mascot -<br />
Buster the Bear - kitted out<br />
in a rather careworn Bear<br />
outfit.<br />
imploded after relegation<br />
from Super League.<br />
Buster was an ex-amateur<br />
rugby league player known<br />
as Braddy and his antics<br />
would light up many a dull<br />
moment at Watersheddings.<br />
I was privileged to witness<br />
his finest hour in a match at<br />
the<br />
‘Sheddings against<br />
Warrington. During the half<br />
time interval Buster was<br />
doing his best to fire up the<br />
Wolves fans congregated<br />
behind the posts when a<br />
Wolves fan, who may or<br />
may not have had one or<br />
two brown lemonades (beer<br />
to you apple juice drinkers)<br />
floored the bear with a<br />
sneaky tackle from behind.<br />
Whilst the fan was taking the<br />
applause of his compatriots<br />
he was caught unawares<br />
and nearly snapped in two<br />
by the finest tackle ever seen<br />
by a Bear on a rugby pitch.<br />
Don’t suppose you’d get<br />
away with that these days<br />
but things were different in<br />
the 90s.<br />
New kids on the block<br />
Toronto decided one was<br />
not enough and have<br />
acquired a whole Wolfpack<br />
– no wonder they are<br />
devouring the other League<br />
1 teams!<br />
So today it is the <strong>All</strong> <strong>Golds</strong><br />
versus the <strong>Crusaders</strong>.<br />
North Wales kept the<br />
<strong>Crusaders</strong> tag from their<br />
first incarnation as the Celtic<br />
<strong>Crusaders</strong> and the <strong>All</strong> <strong>Golds</strong><br />
are, of course, named after<br />
the New Zealand tourists<br />
who beat the Northern<br />
Union (Great Britain) in<br />
the deciding third test at<br />
Cheltenham in 1908 and<br />
were sneeringly called the<br />
<strong>All</strong> <strong>Golds</strong>, instead of the <strong>All</strong><br />
Blacks, in New Zealand as<br />
they were professionals.<br />
Nobody has come up with<br />
any ideas how to make a<br />
Golden Fern into a mascot<br />
yet, though, but Albert the<br />
Griffin is a pretty good<br />
second choice!<br />
PS: The story of the Oldham<br />
Bears mascot is completely<br />
true – as Max Boyce would<br />
say “I was there!”<br />
7<br />
Oldham were always known<br />
as the Roughyeds, and are<br />
again, possibly due to the<br />
less than gentle nature of the<br />
town or the local hat making<br />
industry but became known<br />
as the Bears until the club<br />
Some clubs have dropped<br />
their new names - nobody<br />
calls Whitehaven the<br />
Warriors any more, Hunslet<br />
are no longer the Hawks,<br />
Hull no longer the Sharks<br />
and Coventry have acquired<br />
the Bears tag Oldham<br />
had, Catalans likewise<br />
Doncaster’s Dragon.<br />

ALL GOLDS vs. CRUSADERS<br />
MATCH PREVIEW<br />
WRITTEN BY JACK CONLON<br />
The <strong>All</strong> <strong>Golds</strong> renew their rivalry with<br />
North Wales <strong>Crusaders</strong> this Saturday with<br />
both teams coming into the game keen to<br />
improve on last weekend’s performance.<br />
The <strong>All</strong> <strong>Golds</strong> opened their Shield campaign<br />
last Saturday with a damaging 28-20 defeat<br />
to South Wales Ironmen while the <strong>Crusaders</strong><br />
were humbled 40-12 on their own pitch<br />
by London Skolars. With the <strong>Crusaders</strong><br />
three points ahead of the Golden Fern<br />
anything but a win will surely put an end<br />
to any lingering hope the home side has of<br />
reaching the Shield final.<br />
Speaking ahead of the game Lee Greenwood<br />
says he’s looking to see a marked<br />
improvement on their recent performances.<br />
www.allgoldsrugby.com<br />
@<strong>All</strong><strong>Golds</strong> facebook.com/<strong>All</strong><strong>Golds</strong>Rugby
He said: “It’s been a tough run for us, losing<br />
against Barrow, Toronto then Doncaster. We<br />
had a good opportunity to put an end to<br />
that run last weekend but we lost.<br />
“I thought we were really poor against South<br />
Wales. It was a disappointing performance<br />
so obviously we’ll need to be much, much<br />
better against <strong>Crusaders</strong>. They’ve shown<br />
this season that they can be a dangerous<br />
side so it’s important we show them the<br />
respect they deserve.<br />
“They’re a tough northern side who have<br />
got a number of players that can cause you<br />
trouble. We’ve played <strong>Crusaders</strong> three times<br />
already this season so we know a lot about<br />
them and they know a lot about us.<br />
“I’ll have a good think regarding selection;<br />
you might see a few of our younger players<br />
involved. It’s important for us to look ahead<br />
to the future and think about the players<br />
who are going to be here next season.”<br />
One player who won’t be featuring on<br />
Saturday is Courtney Davies who looks set<br />
for an extended spell on the sidelines after<br />
breaking his wrist against South Wales. His<br />
place in the halves could be taken by Shaun<br />
Owens or Jack Mitchell who missed out<br />
against South Wales.<br />
The <strong>Crusaders</strong> are more than familiar with<br />
the Prince of Wales Stadium having played<br />
there three times already this season. The <strong>All</strong><br />
<strong>Golds</strong> won the first of those in convincing<br />
fashion – a 36-18 victory in the third round of<br />
the Challenge Cup back in February.<br />
The <strong>Crusaders</strong> gained their revenge with a<br />
37-28 win in the semi-final of the League<br />
1 Cup but just a fortnight later the Golden<br />
Fern fought back from 12-0 down to seal a<br />
thrilling 36-28 win in the League.<br />

TODAY’S OPPONENTS<br />
NORTH WALES CRUSADERS<br />
WRITTEN BY JACK CONLON<br />
12<br />
FORM<br />
Our visitors kicked off their League 1 Shield<br />
campaign with a surprise 40-12 defeat to<br />
London Skolars, moving them down to third in<br />
the table and denting their hopes of lifting the<br />
trophy. Skolars dominated them in all areas<br />
last week, blitzing them early on to establish<br />
a 16-point lead after just 20 minutes. North<br />
Wales managed to pull back two tries with<br />
10 minutes to go, but the game was well and<br />
truly gone by that point.<br />
Prior to last week, <strong>Crusaders</strong> were unbeaten<br />
in four games, racking up convincing wins<br />
over South Wales, Oxford and Coventry as<br />
well as a well-earned draw against Super 8’s<br />
contenders Whitehaven. Performances like<br />
that are what coach Mike Grady will be looking<br />
for, so his side will be hoping for a big response<br />
on the back of last week’s disappointment.<br />
BACKS<br />
<strong>Crusaders</strong> have kept a pretty consistent<br />
backline all season, with club captain<br />
Tommy Johnson at the heart of it. The<br />
stalwart fullback isn’t only a prolific kicker,<br />
but also plays a huge part in attack and<br />
defence. Alongside him in the middle are<br />
halves Ryan Smith and Andy Moulsdale,<br />
who have both been mainstays in the squad<br />
for most of the season.<br />
There’s plenty of talent in the three-quarters,<br />
with Earl Hurst, Dale Bloomfield and former<br />
<strong>All</strong> Gold Callum Mulkeen all holding down<br />
regular spots Winger Dan Price has also<br />
impressed on the right wing after getting<br />
a chance on the back of Corey Lee’s<br />
departure. Mike Grady also moved to sign St<br />
Helens winger Dave Eccleston on deadline<br />
day, providing another option out wide.<br />
www.allgoldsrugby.com<br />
FORWARDS<br />
North Wales’ forward pack looked strong at<br />
the start of the year and has only improved<br />
with the acquisitions of some impressive<br />
players. Props Warren Thompson and Joe<br />
Bate were first to arrive, before Alex Whalley<br />
and Jack Francis came in on loan from<br />
Warrington and Rochdale respectively. <strong>All</strong><br />
four add some significant size to an already<br />
powerful front row.<br />
Elsewhere, centre-turned-backrower Simon<br />
Atherton has proved to be a useful runner out<br />
wide, as has Jack Houghton, who is in his first<br />
season with the club. Completing the forwards<br />
are Lee Hudson,<br />
James Dandy and Aaron Moore, who have<br />
formed a good partnership whilst rotating at<br />
hooker. Each one offers something different<br />
going forward, while all three are solid in<br />
defence.<br />

STAR MAN<br />
ONE TO WATCH<br />
Former Salford Academy hooker Aaron<br />
Moore has become <strong>Crusaders</strong>’ number<br />
one impact sub since joining the club at the<br />
start of <strong>2017</strong>. Working in tandem with the<br />
experienced Lee Hudson and James Dandy<br />
has really enhanced his game, with his core<br />
skills improving as well as the more technical<br />
aspects or his position.<br />
13<br />
After arriving in March, former St Helens<br />
and Rochdale prop Warren Thompson has<br />
become a valuable member of Mike Grady’s<br />
side. Thompson was billed as one of the<br />
signings of the season and has certainly<br />
lived up to expectation.<br />
With one Super League appearance coming<br />
for Saints back in 2011, the 26-year-old moved<br />
to Rochdale in 2013 and quickly established<br />
himself as one of the leaders in their pack.<br />
He would play a huge part in the Hornets’<br />
squad for the next four years and was part<br />
of both of their League 1 promotions in 2013<br />
and 2016. Such experience, combined with<br />
his strength and hard running, made him a<br />
perfect fit for <strong>Crusaders</strong>. He’s formed great<br />
connections with the likes of Alex Davidson<br />
and Jonny Walker, giving the Wrexhambased<br />
outfit one of the strongest forward<br />
packs in the league.<br />
A strong and stocky player, Moore is<br />
particularly dangerous near the line, with the<br />
majority of his tries coming from quick dives<br />
from dummy half. He offers plenty further<br />
down the field too though, adding pace<br />
into the attack when it’s needed. If North<br />
Wales are down lacking enthusiasm, don’t<br />
be surprised to see Mike Grady utilise Moore<br />
to liven his side up.<br />

EASY<br />
FOR DONS<br />
ALL GOLDS 4 – 42 DONCASTER<br />
14 SUNDAY 16 JULY <strong>2017</strong><br />
PRINCE OF WALES STADIUM<br />
A half time score of 6-0 to the visitors was<br />
testament to the <strong>All</strong> <strong>Golds</strong>’ defensive grit and<br />
determination in the final fixture of the regular<br />
season.<br />
However, two tries in the opening ten minutes<br />
of the second half blew the game open<br />
and Doncaster were able to ease away to a<br />
comfortable win.<br />
The <strong>All</strong> <strong>Golds</strong> were certainly feeling the effects<br />
of their long trip to Toronto and were only able<br />
to name a squad of 18, rather than the usual 19,<br />
for the match<br />
Forced onto the defensive, the home side<br />
repelled wave after wave of Doncaster attacks<br />
as the visitors enjoyed domination in both<br />
possession and territory. After over 20 minutes<br />
of almost constant pressure, the Dons opened<br />
the scoring, prop Mark Castle powering over<br />
and Jack Miller adding the first of his five goals.<br />
Doncaster upped the pace in the opening ten<br />
minutes of the second period and crossed<br />
www.allgoldsrugby.com<br />
twice to ensure a comfortable last half an hour<br />
in the damp conditions.<br />
Iafeta Paleaaesina, Sam Doherty with two,<br />
Reece Dean also with a double and former <strong>All</strong><br />
Gold Brad England all crossed the whitewash<br />
in a steady if unspectacular procession.<br />
The <strong>All</strong> <strong>Golds</strong> had the ball just four times in the<br />
opening 15 minutes of the second half and it<br />
was no surprise that they created few chances<br />
and only had Mo Agoro’s 19th try of the season<br />
to show for their hard work without the ball.<br />
Coach Lee Greenwood said his side lacked<br />
the nous to create scoring opportunities. “We<br />
weren’t very smart in the first half,” he said.<br />
“We had to work overtime to keep them from<br />
scoring.<br />
“It was hugely disappointing that 6-0 behind<br />
at half time we didn’t make a better fist of the<br />
second half.”<br />
Ominously, he added: We’re nowhere near<br />
being able to play the top northern teams. The<br />
effort is there but there’s a huge gulf in quality<br />
there as well.”<br />

IRONMEN 28 – 20 ALL GOLDS<br />
SATURDAY 29 JULY <strong>2017</strong><br />
STEBONHEATH PARC<br />
The <strong>All</strong> <strong>Golds</strong>’ quest for a League 1 Shield final<br />
place got off to an inauspicious start as the<br />
Ironmen condemned Lee Greenwood’s side to<br />
their fourth straight defeat with their first win<br />
in this fixture since 2013.<br />
They were indebted to a late recovery after the<br />
<strong>All</strong> <strong>Golds</strong> had themselves clawed back a 16-8<br />
deficit to lead 20-16 with 15 minutes left.<br />
It had all started well for the <strong>All</strong> <strong>Golds</strong> with<br />
Brad Kislingbury’s 13th minute try but it was<br />
cancelled out by Curtis Ford – one of four<br />
debutants fielded by the Ironmen.<br />
The home side took the lead through Andy<br />
Gay after a defensive error had given them<br />
a repeat set but Steve Parry crossed for his<br />
customary try to cut the home lead to 10-8 at<br />
the interval.<br />
It was extended soon after the resumption<br />
thanks to a converted try by Morgan Evans<br />
and the Ironmen looked in control.<br />
However, Phil Cowburn scored from a Parry<br />
kick and Ben Stead took over the kicking<br />
duties from the injured Courtney Davies to<br />
knock over the extras.<br />
The <strong>All</strong> <strong>Golds</strong> were soon in front after a classic<br />
team try started by Mo Agoro and finished by<br />
Joe McClean after Cowburn had broken into<br />
the backfield to supply the scoring pass.<br />
Stead’s goal pulled the <strong>All</strong> <strong>Golds</strong> 20-16 in front<br />
but the last quarter of an hour belonged to the<br />
home side.<br />
Ben Jones started the recovery with a close<br />
range score before Shaun Tennant picked up<br />
a chip kick and extended the lead to 26-20,<br />
Jones adding the two for an eight-point lead,<br />
which proved to be the clincher.<br />

FLAME OF THE WEST<br />
THE FINAL COUNTDOWN<br />
WRITTEN BY CHRIS WILSON<br />
16<br />
Last season’s runners up, Swindon St George<br />
are through to contest their fourth West of<br />
England Grand <strong>Final</strong> after the Forest Bulldogs<br />
were unable to raise a side for their semi final.<br />
Swindon will face the winners of the other<br />
semi final between unbeaten Cheltenham<br />
Phoenix and Oxford Cavaliers. This match is a<br />
repeat of the 2013 West of England <strong>Final</strong> and<br />
Oxford will be hoping for a different result<br />
as they were smashed 94-12 by a rampant<br />
Cheltenham outfit.<br />
There is a bit more steel about the Cavaliers<br />
this year as they build on last season’s Plate<br />
triumph and they have recovered from an<br />
indifferent start to the campaign to put<br />
www.allgoldsrugby.com<br />
together some impressive performances<br />
particularly on the road. However, they were<br />
heavily beaten by Swindon last time out and<br />
will be hoping that result was a mere blip as<br />
they aim to repeat their 2012 title-winning<br />
achievement.<br />
In the Plate competition, two-time Division<br />
Champions the Gloucestershire Warriors<br />
entertain Bath RL aiming for their first final<br />
since 2014. They have struggled against the<br />
top two sides in their Pool, the Bulldogs and<br />
Cheltenham, but have done well against the<br />
sides below them including an impressive<br />
38-30 win over Somerset Vikings in Weston<br />
super Mare last week. The Vikings generously<br />
loaned the 12-man Warriors a couple of<br />
@<strong>All</strong><strong>Golds</strong> facebook.com/<strong>All</strong><strong>Golds</strong>Rugby
The game is difficult to call but home<br />
advantage may just sway it the Warriors’ way.<br />
In the other semi final, Swindon St George’s<br />
second team were to travel to Bristol Sonics<br />
looking to complete a double for the club<br />
and reach the final. However, the Sonics<br />
have had a miserable season, the highlight<br />
of which was a 38-34 win over Bath RL in<br />
a Wednesday night thriller. Otherwise, their<br />
points have come from the failings of others,<br />
particularly the South Coast port sides, and<br />
without the prospect of matches, it is hardly<br />
surprising that their players have drifted<br />
away meaning that they are unable to take<br />
their place in the last four.<br />
players and the teams fought out a typically<br />
tough and uncompromising game that<br />
brought back memories of the rivalry the<br />
clubs enjoyed in the mid-Noughties.<br />
Bath have been the archetypal Curate’s<br />
Egg this season mixing big wins, 58-8 over<br />
Southampton with heavy losses like the 72-4<br />
defeat against Portsmouth that came the<br />
following week.<br />

FLAME OF THE WEST<br />
OR A DYING EMBER?<br />
WRITTEN BY CHRIS WILSON<br />
18<br />
It has been a tough season in the West of<br />
England which will have the administrators<br />
slightly worried.<br />
Their worries stretch to the Midlands where<br />
the Leicester Roosters and Leamington<br />
Royals withdrew from the competition<br />
mid-season and the Sherwood Wolf Hunt<br />
decided to focus on their second team early<br />
on in the summer.<br />
With only around four sides still in<br />
regular competition (Birmingham, Derby,<br />
Northampton and Coventry), a restructure<br />
looks on the cards.<br />
In the West of England, a fixture completion<br />
rate of around 68% marks a poor return<br />
for the support given to one of the largest<br />
leagues in the Community game but with<br />
Portsmouth and Southampton in the mix,<br />
the geographic spread was simply too wide.<br />
Indeed, neither of those sides played Bristol<br />
Sonics who have not played since they<br />
played Oxford at the beginning of July and<br />
have withdrawn from the play-offs.<br />
Where the geographic spread was too close,<br />
there was also trouble as the newly-formed<br />
Bath RL club’s presence had an effect on<br />
www.allgoldsrugby.com<br />
@<strong>All</strong><strong>Golds</strong> facebook.com/<strong>All</strong><strong>Golds</strong>Rugby
the two seasons old Bath<br />
& Wiltshire Romans side<br />
such that the Romans<br />
pulled out of the league<br />
midway through citing a<br />
lack of player numbers.<br />
The final round of fixtures<br />
in the West of England<br />
brought a flurry of<br />
unplayed games with the<br />
Gloucestershire Warriors’<br />
fixture at Somerset Vikings<br />
(scheduled for Gloucester<br />
owing to the Vikings being<br />
unable to field a team for<br />
the scheduled trip to the<br />
Warriors earlier in the<br />
season) only going ahead<br />
when the Warriors agreed<br />
to travel – in the end with<br />
only 12 fit players.<br />
Forest Bulldogs perhaps<br />
encapsulate the problem<br />
in the area as they<br />
were unable to travel to<br />
Cheltenham and have<br />
withdrawn from the playoffs<br />
as the bulk of their<br />
side has gone back to<br />
playing their native sport –<br />
rugby union.<br />
By contrast, it should be<br />
noted, the South West is<br />
showing signs of growth<br />
with Devon Sharks and the<br />
Cornish Rebels playing the<br />
odd game and the Dorset<br />
Giants re-emerging under<br />
the guidance of Anthony<br />
Cowburn (no relation) and<br />
former Gloucestershire<br />
Warriors and University<br />
of Gloucestershire coach<br />
Steve Lee.<br />
Swindon St George should<br />
also be highly praised<br />
as they have fielded two<br />
teams week after week<br />
and the firsts deservedly<br />
top Pool 2 having lost just<br />
once, while the seconds<br />
have reached the Plate<br />
<strong>Final</strong> in next weekend’s<br />
double header <strong>Final</strong>s Day.<br />
But all this good work<br />
is overshadowed by<br />
suggestions on various<br />
online forums that the<br />
sport at the amateur or<br />
community level ‘barely<br />
exists’ and, given the<br />
number of scheduled<br />
matches not played (19 of<br />
the 60 scheduled West of<br />
England matches prior to<br />
the play-offs), it’s hard to<br />
argue with that assertion.<br />
In a recent issue of League<br />
Express, Phil Hodgson, a<br />
specialist in the grassroots<br />
rugby league, pointed<br />
out that according to<br />
figures compiled by<br />
Sport England from last<br />
February suggested that<br />
participation figures were<br />
down by nearly 10% from<br />
the previous year and by<br />
an alarming 39% over the<br />
last ten years.<br />
Red Hall (the home of the<br />
game’s governing body)<br />
is aware of the situation<br />
according to Hodgson<br />
and are trying to come up<br />
with solutions. He suggests<br />
that the switch to summer<br />
rugby is to blame and,<br />
while it may be the case<br />
in the game’s heartlands,<br />
without summer rugby<br />
league, there would simply<br />
be no rugby league in<br />
areas like the South West<br />
and the West of England<br />
and probably Wales as<br />
well.<br />
He does concede that<br />
the root cause is the<br />
lack of commitment of<br />
players, which seems also<br />
to be the case in winter<br />
as well as summer with<br />
heartland clubs running<br />
fewer sides. The argument<br />
does seem to hold water<br />
as rugby union clubs<br />
have experienced similar<br />
problems in their particular<br />
heartlands such as here in<br />
the south west.<br />
The problem, then seems<br />
to be fairly clear but the<br />
solution is not so.<br />
Short term, small leagues<br />
with a narrow geographic<br />
spread could be an answer<br />
but long-term strength is<br />
difficult to achieve.<br />
It all hinges on building<br />
clubs. Not teams, but clubs.<br />
Clubs with committees of<br />
more than two or three<br />
die-hard enthusiasts; clubs<br />
with well-organised and<br />
inclusive junior sections<br />
and clubs with their own<br />
facilities, a club house<br />
they can call home and<br />
engender a feeling of<br />
belonging.<br />
That will help to inspire<br />
some form of loyalty and<br />
commitment but it is<br />
difficult to see in this day<br />
and age with land and<br />
money for development in<br />
short supply how enough<br />
organisations working on<br />
that model will ever exist<br />
to ensure a strong and<br />
thriving sport right across<br />
the country from Cornwall<br />
to Cromarty.<br />

WELSH REFEREE AIMING<br />
FOR WORLD CUP IN 2021<br />
WRITTEN BY IAN GOLDEN<br />
20<br />
Welsh referee James Jones is<br />
making his Kingstone Press<br />
League 1 refereeing debut<br />
this Sunday when Oxford<br />
take on Hunslet at Tillsley<br />
Park in Abingdon.<br />
Jones has been in the WRL<br />
and then the RFL systems<br />
for the last four years after<br />
moving from rugby union<br />
and has worked his way up<br />
the community and junior<br />
refereeing ranks to be able<br />
to take charge of his first<br />
competitive professional<br />
game. He was in the charge<br />
of both of the South Wales<br />
Ironmen v North Wales<br />
<strong>Crusaders</strong> friendly matches<br />
earlier this year.<br />
The hope is now for Jones<br />
to move up to Super League<br />
then be able to become<br />
Wales’ first ever referee at<br />
the Rugby League World<br />
Cup when it comes to<br />
England in 2021.<br />
The Bridgend-based official<br />
was formerly ranked as the<br />
second best referee in Welsh<br />
Rugby Union but decided<br />
to give the 13-man game a<br />
try after the number of fulltime<br />
officials were cut in that<br />
organisation.<br />
His last two seasons in union<br />
saw him refereeing top level<br />
games in the European Cup,<br />
French League, Celtic League<br />
and English Premiership – all<br />
of these being Super League<br />
www.allgoldsrugby.com<br />
@<strong>All</strong><strong>Golds</strong> facebook.com/<strong>All</strong><strong>Golds</strong>Rugby
standard of competitions. He<br />
also refereed over 100 RU<br />
Sevens games including a<br />
World Cup, and he was told<br />
that he would have been<br />
given the <strong>Final</strong> in 2009 had<br />
Wales not been in it.<br />
Amongst his highlights was<br />
refereeing Saracens v South<br />
Africa at Wembley Stadium<br />
in 2010, as well as taking<br />
charge of first class matches<br />
at the Welsh regions and<br />
in other places like Ulster,<br />
Munster, Leicester, Newcastle,<br />
Bayonne and Toulon.<br />
He said: “Bianca Zietsman<br />
and I have been working<br />
hard to promote refereeing<br />
in Wales. We both been<br />
given our opportunity in the<br />
RFL ranks and we hope that<br />
many will follow.<br />
“There are still four years<br />
until the 2021 World Cup<br />
in England and I know that<br />
the RLIF want to see nations<br />
develop their match officials<br />
as well as the players. I hope<br />
we’ll see an influx of new<br />
officials that can qualify and<br />
referee and pro level in the<br />
UK, which could eventually<br />
lead to international call-up.<br />
21<br />
“But that’s some way off.<br />
Right now I’m over the moon<br />
to be refereeing Oxford v<br />
Hunslet which is looks like it’s<br />
going to be an outstanding<br />
game.”<br />
A report on this weekend’s<br />
clash between Oxford and<br />
Hunslet can be found in<br />
the next edition of League<br />
Express, in the shops next<br />
Monday and available<br />
digitally from Sunday<br />
evening.<br />
