A LASTING LEGACY

By Brian Sanderson,

Yesterday I left Headingley at tea-time to go to The Galpharm Stadium to hear the launch of the Lottery funded project.It will celebrate and record the history and heritage of professional and amateur rugby league in Huddersfield.The 150th anniversary of the birth of the Huddersfield club in 2014 ,and the century of the club,s Team of all Talents,one of only three teams to win all four avaliable trophies in the same season -1914-15.The project will also mark the anniversary of the start of World War 1 and the impact on the people of Huddersfield.

The launch was headed by David Thorpe who is one of the.PC.W.It is a excellent project and it would be nice if Yorkshire cricket could do a similar project for their 150 th anniversary next year.
