Tag Rugby League is and has been since 2010.

It was around 2008 > 2010 I believe when the "official" Tag Merit League was introduced between fans of clubs, in which the final was hosted at Featherstone. At the beginning of the year, Pete Jones (Now at Devon Sharks), Leon Nightingale and I got the got game affiliated with the RFL - with defined laws of the game and more teams were introduced such as Rochdale who then created the tag festival. Mark at Rochdale then went onto be the chairman of the Hornets too. We also head GB training camps too. After the final, the RFL decided to take more control over this and Tom Allen at the RFL moved to more weekly tournaments rather than a league system - it then progressed from there as you mention above. There were finals at Featherstone, York & Bradford. I know I was personally recognised by the RFL by being awarded young volunteer of the year for the Castleford & Featherstone district. It's nice to see that it has evolved to what it is now and wish I had the time to play, but like a lot of these people involved, our lifes evolve.

There was a tag league that had teams connected with clubs, with Featherstone having the official tag team (along with wheelchair, touch, and ladies team). Teams from Hull, Wakefield, Leeds, Rochdale, Warrington, Leigh, Castleford, Wigan and more.

There was a proper tag league 10 years ago, that became affiliated with the RFL and helped them to get the original Sport England funding. Prior to then, there was no laws, regulations, officials, etc. It saw pre-match entertainment at the Semi's of the Challenge Cup final. This was no way part of Try Tag Rugby. The RFL then canned it off, the league was disbanded and then only played friendlies - none of these teams play anymore. Tag rugby could be huge, but it won't.

Thanks Chris, I try my best. Although I'm a snapper at Featherstone, this past year I've tried to learn more about landscapes, portraits, etc. Here's a few on Flickr. 1. 2. & 3. are from Newmillerdam in Wakefield - Lovely place to relax and an unwind. 4. & 5. Wintersett, Wakefield I really would like to get out more with the camera, so if anybody wants to meet up and do some location photography, get in touch.

Great photo, really enjoyed looking at your pictures.

I know we are in a food & drink section, but I thought i'd bring home the bad side of Christmas and drink driving. I saw this campaign today on my Twitter feed and thought i'd share some of the scary facts with you. See: http://www.drink-driving-limit.co.uk/ What do you think? What scares you the most?

Lorne, I didn't know you were doing a raffle, my apologises for not donating. However, I will donate a poster print (size 15x10) of any picture you see on my site and you can raffle it off.

I want the noise to be so load you'll knock old skinny bean over A fine example of this (but better on Sunday) is pictured below. Do you reckon you could do this? Cheers, Chris

100k could go a long way! It costs 50k a year for a good academy structure.....

Final no.1 on Sunday, who's off? Should be a cracking game, lets hope we can turn it around this time. Good luck.

Congratulations to the reserves on a great victory against Widnes Pictures can be found @ http://www.cstphotography.co.uk/gallery/00...idnes-reserves/ Cheers, Chris

Joins the team http://www.pontefractandcastlefordexpress....cial.6525848.jp Welcome aboard and all the best.

Maybe, but having an extra option in the forwards would be good, we seemed a tad light once Morrison was injured.

Had a surprising number of folk at work congratulating the club today and asking about the final & tickets!

I personally believe he's a fantastic referee and will do a great job on Thursday.

Oh my gosh so this is what Chris Westwood looks like naked with a flat cap, pipe and a rover dog!

Chris, Superb picture. She should be so proud. Hope you don't mind me putting my angle in:
