Info
Our most recent "Guest Spot" on the St Helen's Archive website features an item kindly loaned for copying by Newport RFC, who we thank for their generosity. Our Guest Item is a dinner menu from the post-match event following Newport's match with the touring South African team of 1961. Several injuries to the home side in the lead up to the match meant that chances to win the match were lost, due to regular kicker Norman Morgan being out of action. The Springboks won a game they conceded ought to have been lost, 0 - 3 being the margin at full-time. To read more about this match and Newport RFC's history, click on the link below...
