Kirkholt - Rugby League Pitch
Image: © Peter Whatley Taken: 5 Oct 2009
This pitch was used by the long defunct Spotland Rangers Amateur Rugby League Club for many years and formed part of Balderstone Park. Quite why a team called "Spotland" played on Kirkholt is another matter. The changing rooms can be seen at the back of the picture. The pitch was briefly used by Balderstone Warriors Amateur Rugby League Club for one season (2007-08?) until they folded. (details kindly supplied by R. Mitchell)
