Went to school with Ron Bailey. Glad he is still around. Featherstone lad that did much for the Rovers. I remember him living opposite the Jubilee fields. Kind Regards Ron. Colin Smith.

Also played scrum half against Don Fox in Featherstone Rovers under 18's when he played for Sharlston. Had a good game against him. He was switched to centre. He then scored the winning try. A great bloke and a good friend .

I'm pretty sure it was 1952.
