Rugby League is heading back to the seaside on Saturday 17th July as the Northern Rail 9’s tournament enters its second year. Come and join the party as all of the 18 English based teams from the Championships not involved in the Northern Rail Cup Final prepare to rock Blackpool.
This exciting 9’s tournament is a quicker and shorter version of the regular game and it all takes place over one action packed day at Fylde RUFC.
Clubs are split into five pools which are determined by a random draw. Clubs in pools 1-3 play the teams in their own pool whilst clubs in pools 4 and 5 play the teams in the opposing pool. All clubs are guaranteed to play three games. At the end of the group games the top four teams in the league will progress to the Semi-Finals. Do or die…the winners of the Semis will play contest the Final.
The Northern Rail 9’s weekend will give all Rugby League fans a unique opportunity to see cracking Rugby League action by the sea in what should be a thrilling weekend not to miss for all sports fans.
