A BIG thank you from Jimmy Orford
Sevens Tournament and after party BIG success
Jimmy Oford would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who attended, donated, played supported financially Jimmy Orford benefit day at Crosfields. It was a huge success with 10 teams taking part on the day from Rylands, Burtonwood, Woolston, Bank Quay, our own Masters and Helsby Rugby Union thanks to another of our ex players Paul Bagley.
The team that Jimmy selected captained by brother Tom ended up going on to win the tournament without conceding a try, mainly thanks to the combined skills of ex players John Bannon and Dave Gibbons plus a guest appearance from former Warrington favourite Toa Kohe-Love who makes it look so easy! Ex player Russ Parkman made an appearance in the final too!
Special thanks to Mark Roberts and Russ Parkman for working so hard on organising the day as well as Debbie Parkman, Sarah and Paul Bagley and Hayley and Thomas Orford, fantastic help on the day.
Thanks also for Kevin Redmond and Paul Williams for supplying and cooking the food and not forgetting the top player and DJ throughout the day and night Kev Coleman.
Finally thank you to the sponsors Fraser Linaker, Kevin Best, Lee Ryder and Paul Bagley and all those who donated generous gifts for the raffle and auction.
If anyone has any news on the location of a cordless screwdriver that was a raffle prize can they please make contact with the club!!
The just giving site is still open and all donations will be gratefully received by Jimmy who was absolutely overwhelmed with the turnout and support on the day!
