Chorley Lynx
Ironically their first game was against Trafford Borough in the Lancashire Cup in front of 628 spectators on 30 August 1989, which they won 12–6.The club colours were originally royal blue shirts with yellow flashings on the shoulders and sleeves, and red trim.Later when the club relocated back to Victory Park, Chorley the shirts became red with black flashings, and white trim.Tamati gave up his post as Rugby League development officer with Warrington Borough Council to become full-time coach with the Lynx on 31 October 1997.[2] Lancashire Lynx reached the final of the Anglo-French Treize Tournoi in 1998[3] and finished top of the Second Division.[6] Rumour had it that the club were happier if the team lost than if they won, as the majority of players were receiving about £50 per match, with £100 win bonuses.At the end of the 2004 season Chorley Lynx folded due to poor attendances and the withdrawal of funding by backer Trevor Hemmings.
