MESSAGE FROM MR. T. BODLEY RUG8Y CORRESPONDENT DAILY EXPRESS

Thorn coulcl nol have picked a better year for Ihei r inilial financial involvemenl in Ihe Rugby Foolball Union. English Rubgy look fire for Ihe firsllime in 23 years. They ;wepllhe board by winning Ihe Grand Siam, Triple Crawn and Ihe Calculla CLIp. If Ihere had been any fllrther honours up for grabs, Ihey would have won Ihose 100 because of Ihe leam spiri l and confidence ail direcled 10 Ihe beS! posssible use by Ihe coaching of Mike Davis.

And, la a large exlenl. Ihal success was buil! on the solid foundalion of Ihe Thorn Counly Championship.

The injection of real money inlO Ihe ounlyseene allowed Ihe leams 10 prepare far more effieiently Ihan in previolls years and none pUllhe cash la beller use Ihan Ihe even lual champions Lancashire.

The spin-off of Iheir lotal Rugby, preached so fervently by Iheir coach Des Seabrook, was vita l to England as they provided seven members, inclucling the caplain Bill Beaumonl, of Ihe national side.

Thorn helped also to inspire a major internalional suceess as they helpeel wi lh Ihe four Divisional malehes againsl the New Zea land louring leam.

The North - like Lancashire - made canny use of Ihe exlra money. They were Ihe only side 10 !Jeal Ihe A li Blacks. The 21-9 score al O lley on November 17 represenled Ihe biggesl hiding New Zealancl had ever suffered in England.

Bul Thorn's biggeS! conlribulion was 10 Ihe County Championship. The final belween Lancashire and GlouceS!ershire al Ihe picturesque Vale of Lune graund on February 9 was one of Ihe highlights of a memorable season.

This season, in addition 10 Ihe Thorn Counly Championship, There wi ll be Ihe Thorn Divisional Championship. This compelilion was suspended for Ihe lasl two years because of touring sides. Il will start on Deeember 13 when Ihe North, the holders, meellhe Soulh and Soulh Wesl and London laek le Ihe Midlands. Ali fou r leams will be in aclion a week later al Tw ickenham 10 decide Ihe l , 2, 3, 4 order.
