Bob, I took my son to watch the Rockingham Rebels play at Hayden Road. There was a lad named Hilbourne who played and lived in our village and I believe played in the match when they won in Croydon to secure the league title? Do you remember him?

Dave Hilbourne if I remember right?

If you are on Arsebook, The Rockingham Rebels have their own page.
I put loads of photos up there, from our Championship season and the one after, there is a picture of the whole team in front of the main stand at Hayden Road.

26 years actually 8-)

Jeez I feel old :lol:

I would imagine the game may be in doubt given that we have had a fair bit of rain over the last few days and Hayden Rd is prone to being waterlogged.

I think this should be a summer friendly!
