Sporting dinner tickets
Sunday, March 7th, 2010Keith Etherington
Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010Lymm RFC is mourning the death of one of its former Presidents and long serving member, Keith Etherington who died on March 1st. A popular member of the Cheshire club, Keith will also be remembered as a highly regarded and popular referee.
Keith was a gentleman in every sense of the word with a huge appetite and enthusiasm for the game of rugby. His knowledge and experience earned him huge respect, not only throughout his own club and Cheshire, but in Northern rugby; witty and candid, Keith’s opinions were widely sought and valued.
Such a character is going to be missed by everyone who was fortunate to come into contact with him and certainly the clubhouse at Beechwood will not be the same without Keith Etherington.
Our condolences are extended to all Keith’s family at this sad time. The funeral will take place at Altrincham Crematorium (Dunham) on Friday March 12th at 3.00 pm., further details can be obtained from Lymm’s web site.

Charlie in North of England squad
Monday, December 14th, 2009Monday 14th December 2009
Charlie Swarbrick
From a pretty proud Grandfather, Fred Swarbrick :-
Charlie was selected for the North of England U16 side yesterday after an extensive and testing trial at Mount St. Mary’s College Chesterfield. 49 lads were present in residence at the College and after a tremendous match on Sunday afternoon the selection was made.
Charlie will take his place at scrum half in the North of England side. A tremendous achievement. Another product of our proud Vale of Lune Club.
Charlie, a pupil at Ripley St Thomas, has the right kind of sporting pedigree. Dad Steve was a long time Vale scrum-half and former Lancashire player, while grandad Fred was a long serving Vale hooker, player for Cumbria and himself a former North of England player.
Three Vale first teamers have been picked for the Lancashire Under 20s final trial game against North Wales. Forwards James Hesketh, Ollie Cowey and Sam Wallbank are in the squad for the game at Wigan on Sunday.
200 Club Draw
Sunday, November 29th, 2009Vale’s annual 200 Club draw will be held in the clubhouse on Sunday 20th December. The event starts at 12.30pm and the draw will be made for a £500 first prize. There are other additional prizes as well as £100 to be won by a 200 Club member present on the day. The 200 Club is organised by Stephen Ralston and anyone interested in joining should contact him on 01524 67863 or via e-mail stephen@ralston.freeserve.co.uk.
