MORE than 200 spectators watched the inaugural North Nottinghamshire Rugby League Heritage Day at the new home of Mansfield Woodhouse team Sherwood Wolf Hunt.

The club, which will play in the Midlands Premier Division, staged the event at Debdale Sport and Recreational Club, Mansfield Woodhouse — and won it.

Seven teams included former local clubs, Garibaldi, Mansfield Storm and Shirebrook.

It involved a round robin of Euro Touch rugby league competition.

The event also included a presentation of memorabilia from North Notts rugby league history, memorabilia from both partner club Leeds Rhinos and the closest professional club Sheffield Eagles, as well as stories and articles from the past.

Club captain Adam Bates, a founder of the Wolf Hunt, organised the day in conjunction with Euro Tag, a growing phenomenon in the sport.

The event will involve a round robin of Euro Touch rugby league competition.

Wolf Hunt’s Declan Dykes will represent the club in the Midlands team that is to represent Great Britain in Greece this summer.
