Awreet Chris, what was the shield?

Third division title I think. When scholes finished the reserves carried on playing and formed st patricks.I joined in the second season,your ged played and also your dave.Later they changed back to scholes

Now then Chris! Do you know what all the lads are doing now?

I only see Platty cos he does our roof at work,been to a few dos where ive seen a few of them, ray davies,mick lawrence, john hayes etc do you work in St helens?

Yes mate, only 7 years till retirement!!!!!

Your right Chris the shield was for winning the 3rd division ,We later went on to win the Hilton Cup,We where pretty average really but we dident half have a good laff especially on our away trips in the northern cup ,when if drawn at home our pitch was somehow always unfit so we had to reverse the fixture.Keep care mate hows your nicky doing with his injury

Our Nickys not too bad Rob he thinks he may be back next season I hope he is. I dont half miss them saturdays rob, I always said we might not be the best team, but by christ were the ugliest

is that plattys real hair or a wig???

its definitely a wig, he wears a grey one now
