We’re back at Winstanley College for what promises to be a cracking afternoon of rugby as Orrell take on Burnley RUFC. This fixture has been generously sponsored by FOPS and Mike Lockwood, and will be held in memory of Mich Dearman, a founding member of the TOES (Orrell Exiles Society). We’ll be taking a moment to remember Mich and other Former Orrell Players who are no longer with us.

The Orrell Red Triangle Cricket Club will be open from 12.30pm for pre-match drinks — a perfect chance to meet up, warm up the vocal cords and raise a glass in memory of our former players and TOES. Whether you’re coming down with family, friends or the lads and lasses from the club, we’d love to see a big Orrell turnout to cheer the team on.
