Don't forget to watch& make your entry for Last Man Standing. Last date for the first round of entries is next Friday, 16 August lunchtime

With no Middle Eastern Sheikh coming in and bankrolling our move to Winstanley Road, the fundraising must continue! So, as our new season beckons, football will have had a head start and our latest fundraiser will be underway.

Last Man Standing for those unaware is very simple yet difficult to complete!

Each week you pick a Premiership side you believe will triumph and if correct you are through into the next week ....... but if you pick a loser - or even more heart breaking - a drawn match .... you are out. Second heart breaking piece of information ..... you cannot pick the same team twice!

The cycle continues until we have the Last Man (or Woman) Standing.

Now as we said that seems simple enough; the difficulty lies in only being able to use a premiership team once per cycle. Giant killings are a must and planning of future fixtures is an even bigger must to avoid being left with Everton when they are playing bottom of the league at home -as we all know you are not progressing any further (apologies to all those blues out there).

We understand that as rugby supporters, this football game maybe a bit of a mystery and need some studying ..... so, last date for entering is Friday, 16th August at 12.00pm; giving you time to study the first few premiership games and pick your winning teams!

Finally to the part that grabbed your attention the £££££

The fee for entry will be £10 payable up front via the payments page (or follow the link here Last Man Standing Payments Page

The prize pot shall be 50% of the takings and the balance going to our new home. So the more entrants the more ££££ so please spread the word ..... you could be that Last Man or Woman!!!!

Send your weekly entries to Matt Grundy via email to: Grundyorrellrufc@gmail.com. Matt will collate all the weekly entries into our very sophisticated and technical system (an Excel Spreadsheet) and circulate each week to everyone who takes part.

Any questions or queries, just email Matt on the above email address.

Help make the future black and amber!
