We’re proud to announce The Cliff Tamou Memorial Day 🏉
A day of rugby league bringing together clubs, players, families and supporters to honour Cliff Tamou and continue the legacy he left within the game and the wider community.
The fixtures have been chosen carefully to reflect key parts of Cliff’s rugby journey and the values he carried throughout the game:
🔹 U13s Girls – Ashton Bears vs Rylands Sharks (10:00am KO)
A celebration of junior rugby league and the continued growth of the women’s game, representing the next generation of players.
🔹 Women’s Open Age – Ashton Bears vs Leigh Miners Ladies (12:00pm KO)
Featuring the first women’s teams Cliff coached, making this match especially meaningful.
🔹 Masters – Ashton Bears vs Wigan St Judes (14:00pm KO)
A special fixture bringing together past players Cliff coached, refereed, or had a lasting impact on during his time in rugby league.
Alongside a full day of rugby, there’ll be a DJ, food trucks, and fundraising opportunities throughout the day.
