The other major problem the Centurions have is there is no junior RL played in the city, none of the schools play RL and that includes the school where the son of the Cent's chairman teaches. There was a junior team a couple of seasons ago but they seem to have disappeared.

RL has died a slow death in the city since the old Border Raiders left and merged(sic) with Barrow. There are now no open age teams in the city in the Cumberland League. The nearest CL team being Cockermouth over 20 miles away.

Hopefully this will start to change with the recent appointment of a RL development officer.
