I know Tommy Dawes was the coach of the 1983 Lancashire Cup winning Barrow team, but Frank Foster was the man who laid the foundations for it. RIP Frank.

RIP Frank

[the man]

We have arranged with the RFL for a minutes silence to be observed in memory of Frank.

Frank's teams are the ones that got me hooked. Probably my best season's memory was 1978/79 when we made all those signings from rugby union and but before Christmas could hardly win a game.

After Christmas we had a scrappy win in the Challenge cup against lower league York (10-7 I think) then beat New Hunslet and everything just clicked. We lost at Wakefield in the CC 1/4 final when we took a few thousand but in the league we started to beat everyone, alas not enough to avoid relegation when 4 went down
