Wardill retires from Rugby League
Dewsbury Rams can confirm that player Joe Wardill has again been forced to retire from the game of rugby League. Head coach Lee Greenwood explains: “It’s a real shame for Joe and us.

As sad as it is for him, he has made the right decision and this will allow him […]
RIP Kevin Osborne and Jeff Grayshon- David Hyomes remembers two legends

He also played alongside his great friend Brian Firth. Those two didn’t just play for Dewsbury together, they also worked […]
