Welcome to the North West Counties 13s - 15s Website
The North West Counties 13s - 15s Amateur Rugby League, and it's dedicated team of volunteers, are responsible for running the Junior/Youth amateur Rugby League competitions across Lancashire, Cheshire, Merseyside and Greater Manchester. We are proud to be closely linked to the Rugby Football League (RFL) and are Associate Members of the British Amateur Rugby League Association (BARLA).
Our aim is to provide the best environment in which EVERY child can grow and develop through the sport of Rugby League, whether as an "elite" player with aspirations of playing the game professionally or for those who just want to have fun playing Rugby League with their friends.
With 2000+ players regularly taking to the field at the weekend, we are one of the largest Junior/Youth leagues, not only in the UK but also in Europe and are continuing to grow year on year. Running, at all ages, our highly competitive League competitions, each competing annually for their own divisional piece of silverware, along with our prestigious "knock out" competitions the NW Counties 13 - 15's & Lancashire County Cups, our cross-Pennines "War of the Roses" challenges and participation in the National Cups means that we have a very busy season which runs from Early September through to it's culmination on our Finals Day on the last weekend in April!!!
With so many competitions it is hardly surprising then to hear that our 3 x Presentation Nights are invarably 230+ sell-outs with, one season, an outstanding 850+ in attendance!!
Many of our former players have, after developing their early skills, gone on to succesfully play in the UK's SuperLeague & Championship competitions prior to achieving national & international honours in the SuperLeague Grand Finals at Old Trafford, the Challenge Cup Finals at Wembley or, the ultimate achievement, appearing at the World Cup Finals.
Hopefully you'll find this website & it's Links pages helpful but, if you have any questions or comments, then our League Secretary Sam Armstrong will be only too happy to help and his, along with the rest of the Leagues' Management teams', contact details can be found by selecting "League Management" from the options listed on the left hand side of this page.
Welcome to the NW Counties 13-15's & we look forward to you joining us.
