LANCASTER'S summer rugby league season got off to a flying start with a 40-12 win over local rivals Blackpool Sea Eagles at Giant Axe at the weekend.
But a whole new challenge is awaiting the men in the Lancaster team.
They will be playing against each other next Tuesday, May 11, in a special origin' challenge to commemorate the day 100 years ago when Morecambe and Lancaster teams met for the only time in the Northern Union Challenge Cup, rugby league's most prestigious competition Lancaster came out on top after a replay in 1904 and next week the local players of Lancaster and Heysham Atoms will forget club loyalties to split into resort and city teams in the re-enactment.
The game will be played at Giant Axe, with kick off timed for 7pm.
