A send off to remember for Knowsley Road on 4th September

27th August 2010

 SAINTS have put together a fantastic package of entertainment for the last ever League game at The GPW Recruitment Stadium.

Not only will Saints be taking on Castleford Tigers in the last game of the regular engage Super League XV season, but the Club will be saying goodbye to one of the most iconic venues in world sport.

Kicking off at 6.45pm on Saturday September 4, Saints will be looking to give themselves the best possible chance of finishing in second, whilst the Tigers are fighting for eighth and a shot at the playoffs.

As well as a special performance from the Saintsations, an official Matchball presentation, guard of honour, a tear-jerking rendition from Rainford Brass Band and much more a team of Saints Legends will take on a Saints Academy Select in a curtain raiser.

The Steve Prescott Foundation have organised a fantastic line up of Saints to take on the future of the Club.

Kicking off at 5.30pm, the game will be split over two halves of 20 minutes and the Legends team will be coached by none other than Alex Murphy OBE.

Lining up for the Legends are Steve Prescott MBE, Anthony Stewart, Paul Loughlin, Paul Newlove, Anthony Sullivan, Tommy Martyn, Neil Holding, Vila Matautia, Mark Lee, Jonathon Neil, Chris Joynt, Ian Pickavance and Paul Sculthorpe.

Chris Smith, Jason Roach, Steve Hall, Paul Forber, Bernard Dwyer and Chris Arkwright will make up a formidable subs bench.

“The Old Lady has so many fond memories for everyone since it all began in 1890,” Chris Joynt said. “It is a tremendous honour to be able to grace the turf one last time and the prospect of taking on the academy side will certainly be a test for our legs.

“We are confident that our experience will make it competitive. It will be an emotional occasion.”

At the turnstiles, fans will have the opportunity to support the inspirational Steve Prescott on his next probably most arduous challenge to date – the “Steve Prescott’s Engage Mutual Challenge”.

On September 28, Steve will be running from the Hull KC Stadium to the Grand Final at Old Trafford.

This is an incredible 104 miles in four days which equates to four Marathons. Fans can run alongside Steve and for further information please visit www.steveprescottfoundation.co.uk

Saints will announce their 17 Greatest Players on the night too and you will also be able to bid a fond farewell one of the Club’s greatest players in Keiron Cunningham.
