Cooney – Calverley Cup by Chad Cooper

“Since Aug 29th, 1895 in Huddersfield, England, Rugby League has captured the hearts and
minds of millions of fans around the world. It’s become a global game. As a country, we are
blessed to have both Coach Ady Cooney and Coach Dr. Ben Calverley become the latest in a
long line of Rugby League visionaries in this country. Starting a new league and team takes a lot
of vision and sacrifice. Both of them are the two of the most competitive individuals I’ve ever
met. Their passion and love for the game is magnified on the pitch. The same can be said about
the love and respect the players have for both coaches. The Rugby League God’s have sent 2 of
their angels to expand the code in California. We are all so lucky to have them. May the best
Coach win the War of the White Rose! The Pride of Yorkshire is on the line.” – Chad M. Cooper
