About Millom RLFC
Now in our 140th year, Millom RLFC has been recognised as a leading name in Rugby League. We are the oldest amateur rugby league club in the world and the club has many records under its belt. It has played four times as a professional club and 28 times as amateurs in the Rugby League Challenge Cup. Millom RLFC is the only club to field 12 players for their County in the Cumberland v Yorkshire match on 5 February 1889 at Hunslet. Over 50 players have been awarded full international honours since 1945, and countless others have represented their County and District. 1979-80 saw a Cumbrian first when Peter Knowles was awarded the BARLA Player of the Year and 1985-86 saw another Cumbrian first when Millom played Mysons of Hull in the BARLA National Cup Final. In November 1986 Millom gave Wakefield Trinity a scare losing 14-8 in the John Player Trophy.
Recently the club have added a new set of changing facilities to its impressive Devonshire Road home, when together with Sport England Lottery Money, a grant from the Cumbria Regeneration Board and the local town and district council, the finances were found and the building completed and opened by HRH Prince Philip the Duke of Edinburgh.
Millom is a club steeped in tradition and the first team currently plays in the National Conference League Division 2, with the A team representing the club in the Barrow and District League. As well as the open age teams, Millom also has a thriving youth set-up with teams at U8, 10, 12, 14 and 16 level playing in the local competitions.
