BARLA Vice Chair Steve Manning, said: “BARLA are delighted that all nine games of the BARLA Three Counties Championship are being steamed live on the OuRLeague App for the first time in the history of the competition this year and would like to thank the Rugby Football League for this opportunity.

“It is a great opportunity for the players from all the three counties to showcase their bravery and skills on a wider platform to audiences who can’t get to the games which we would encourage them to do, and to a new audience that has yet hasn’t been introduced to the amateur game.

“Last year saw a clean sweep across the board at all age groups by the red rose of Lancashire, no doubt Cumbria and Yorkshire will have something to say about that this year and will endeavor to knock the respective champions off their perches. It should be another cracking series.”
