More Heritage Certificates awarded – Armed Forces Day at Boundary Park

Following on from the Brian Walker Award to Cian Tyrer in the last news article, former Roughyeds favourite, Bill Broomhead, received his Heritage Certificate from the ‘Latics’ chairman Frank Rothwell later in the day in the Broadway Suite. Then after what seemed like an eternity on the road the Roughyeds returned for a home fixture at Boundary Park on June 30th to play Hunslet.

This coincided with the club’s Armed Forces Day and the attending crowd kept an impeccably observed silence as ‘The Last Post’ was played before the kick-off. In attendance at the match to receive his Heritage Certificate was former club captain Rob ‘Two Bobs’ Roberts.
