RETRO SPORT: pictures from Orrell RUFC's last match at Edge Hall Road
Edge Hall Road became the permanent home of Orrell RUFC in 1950, replacing several locations previously used by the club, including Kitt Green and Abbey Lakes. The team played their last match at the ground in 2007 to tearful supporters and former players who were involved when Orrell were one of the top clubs in the country before the professional era.
