Betfred Challenge Cup 2nd Round – Royal Navy v Thatto Heath Crusaders

Betfred Challenge Cup 2nd Round – Royal Navy v Thatto Heath Crusaders

Keith Humpleby17 Jan 2024 - 11:36

For the second year in a row, we face ‘Crusaders’ in the Challenge Cup 2nd round, this year its the Thatto Heath Crusaders from Merseyside

Following last weekend’s victorious clash with the RAF preparations are well underway for our tie against Thatto Heath at RNRL HQ Burnaby Road.
Match Details as follows
Sunday 28th January
Kick Off 2pm
USSG
Burnaby Road
Portsmouth
PO1 2EJ

Thatto Heath Crusaders are based in St Helens with the Open age Men’s team competing in the NCL Premiership. A true community club boasting 15 other sides ranging from ‘Newbies’ age 6-7 through the age groups up to Open age and a Masters side not forgetting the Crusaders Womens team. Last season’s League campaign saw them finish mid table winning 10 of their 20 games not their best season as they are usually in the top three of the Premiership. Whilst we have never played Thatto Heath before the tenuous link to the two clubs is that they lost to the North Wales Crusader’s in the Challenge Cup 3rd round last year, the same team that inflicted a heavy defeat on the Brothers in Round 2.

As always at Burnaby Road entrance is free to all spectators both service and civilian with admission free to all plus bar facilities will be available.
Please remember however and in line with RN policy Burnaby Road is a non-smoking facility both indoors and out

Looking forward to a great contest and hoping as many of you as possible can make it down to RNRL HQ to support your Brothers
