Halton Farnworth Hornets are proud to be asked to stage the two Semi Finals and Final of the North West stages of the Carnegie Champion Colleges Tournament cup.
This will take place on WEDNESDAY 6th FEBRUARY 2008, at Wilmere Lane Sports Ground.
This new inaugural tournament has been developed by the RFL and stems from the success of the Carnegie Champion Schools Tournament.
Launched in January 2008, the Carnegie Champion Colleges Tournament involves Sixth Forms and FE Colleges throughout the country being invited to participate in the competition, with the ultimate aim of finding the best COLLEGE team in the UK.
The tournament began at a Regional Level (North West, Yorkshire, Midlands, etc) in early January 2008, and was spread over a four week period.
The National Stages start mid February, and culminate in the Carnegie Colleges National Final on Wednesday 12th March 2008 at Headingley Stadium, Leeds.
The North West Region has been allocated THREE places in the National Stages of the competition.
As far as the Halton Farnworth Hornets are concerned, this means they will be staging FOUR games of Rugby League at the Wilmere Lane Sports Ground on Wednesday 6th February 2008.
