GLOSSOP CARAVANS RENEW IMPORTANT SPONSOR DEAL WITH LIONS

06 February 2019

The club is delighted to announce the renewal of the much-valued shirt sponsors Glossop Caravans for the 2019 season, whilst also sponsoring the Bradford fixture at Heywood Road

Swinton Lions are delighted to confirm that Glossop Caravans have renewed their sponsorship deal for 2019 and have also been named as Main Match Sponsors for our prestigious first home game of the season against Bradford Bulls on Sunday 10th February, kick-off 3pm.

Glossop Caravans will again be a part of Swinton’s journey in 2019, sponsoring the shirt and the upcoming fixture against Bradford Bulls in the Betfred Championship at Heywood Road.

Glossop Caravans have grown from small beginnings back in 1976 to become a one-stop shop with a huge range of 600 new and used caravans and motorhomes – plus awnings, accessories and comprehensive annual service checks and repairs.

Former Swinton Lions player and now joint-owner, Stan Laig enjoyed three seasons with the Lions in the late 60s and early 70s. He was a more than capable hooker, but found his way to the first team blocked by Swinton legend Derek Clarke, not to mention the likes of John Carey, Ian Entwistle, and finally Welsh international, Dick Evans.

Although mainly employed in the “A” team, Stan did, however, manage one outing in a Lions’ first-team game, courtesy of a pre-season Gallie Cup match against St Helens on 9 August 1969.

On the renewed deal, Laig said: “We are delighted to be able to sponsor Swinton Lions this season.

“I had a great time playing for the Lions myself and it’s good to be able to give support back to a club that gave me so much. I’m looking forward to seeing the team play and see the developments at the club and wish them all every success in the 2019 season.”

RAM-PANT LIONS HIT HALF-CENTURY!

3 days ago

SWINTON LIONS 50 DEWSBURY RAMS 22 IAN RIGG at Heywood Road, Sunday 21 April 2024 A nine try performance from the Lions gave them their second win in what was a must win game. They got off to a great start when Dec Patton slid a nice kick towards the right corner and Mitch Cox won the race to score but Patton was unable to convert from the touchline. Rams hit back virtually straight away when good pressure on the line saw Curtis Davies dive in by the posts and Callum Turner converted. They should really have scored again but some great defence by Tee Ritson and Dan Abram grounded the player just short. They did score their second on seventeen minutes when a nice pass by Matt Garside found Owen Restall and he scored by the posts with Turner converting again. Jayden Hatton scored the Lions second on twenty-six minutes when Patton sent up a hanging kick and the centre took it as it came down to score but again no conversion from Patton. The Lions halfback was now starting to control the ball even more and the Lions then scored two tries in three minutes with Josh Eaves who was making his one hundredth career appearance scoring the first from short range and then a Saints combination on the right when Jonny Vaughan sent out a nice pass for to Ritson who powered over in the corner and Patton converted both of them to give the Lions an eight point gap and they could have scored again on the half time hooter when Hatton put Eaves through a gap but it was forward. A disastrous start for the Lions in the second half when a nice kick from Turner bounced badly for Rhys Williams and ran away from him and this saw Brad Graham touch down by the posts and Turner converted to put his team right back in it. Daniel Spencer-Tonks then extended the Lions lead with a well taken try by the posts from an Eaves pass and Patton converted. Rams were not lying down and Turner and Restall combined to send Travis Corion in at the corner and Turner could not convert this one. The home side were coming stronger as the game went on and scored their next try just after the hour when Rams knocked on in their own twenty and from the scrum Williams went in at the corner and the conversion was good. Abram scored the next on sixty-six minutes after some great build up play down the right and again Patton converted. Rams then had more pressure on the line, and it took an interception by Cox to clear the line. Ronan Dixon was sent to the sinbin with three minutes left for a high shot on Hatton. The Lions made them pay heavily for the sinbin running in two more tries with firstly Spencer-Tonks again crashing in again by the posts from short range with Patton converting and with seconds left a great cross kick by Patton found Ritson and he collected the ball to race in at the corner with Patton adding the conversion after the hooter to secure a good victory for his side.
