LEAGUE CUP COMPETITION 

A proposition to run a League Cup competition ( in addition to the County Cup) was made at the recent AGM.

It is only practical to do this for ADM Counties 1 and ADM Counties 2 and we will only implement this if a 2/3 majority of the clubs in those two leagues agree to participate.

To express your interest in taking part in a League Cup competition, clubs should email Lancashire County RFU Chairman, Dave Clarke, dave.clarke51@yahoo.co.uk by 30th June 2026 

Any club that does not reply will be taken as a NO vote.

Should the competition be implemented we will then require a £25.00 entry fee to be paid to the above bank details.
