“I CAN’T really believe it’s been that long.”
As we talk about perhaps the most iconic day in Winnington Park Rugby Club’s long history, the memories come flooding back for Matt Farr.
Today marks the 25th anniversary of when Park hosted the top-flight might of Wasps in the Pilkington Cup – English rugby union’s premier knock-out competition at the time.
It was the crowning glory of what was a golden era at Burrows Hill as a team of local boys faced down a side containing players that had become – or went on to become – household names such as future England great Lawrence Dallaglio.
