Newton-le-Willows ARLFC (Newton Storm) was formed in January 2002 by Brendan O'Neill and Paul Eden who still serves as the Club Chairman . The Club was established with the barest of finances or equipment and no facilities. What they did have, however, was 20 children aged between 8 and 13 who wanted to play rugby league and parents who were willing to help them.
Newton-le-Willows has always had a great affinity with Rugby League where players such as Mike Bennett, Steve Hampson, Mike Forshaw and Dave Cotton are amongst the many professionals to have hailed from the town. Both of the town’s high schools have played the game for many years but unfortunately any child who wished to play club rugby was forced to travel to one of the adjoining towns to play the game.
Since formation, the Club has grown from one qualified coach to a team of ten. All are qualified to Moderated Games or Club Coach level and have been on Child Protection Courses, and all have had a CRB check undertaken by BARLA. We have a qualified First Aider at each age group.

| Developments
Due to recent sponsorship deals, excellent fundraising activities by the club and a massive increase in player recruitment, particularly at junior level, the club have developed into a success both on and off the pitch. We have an excellent working relationship with St Helens Council, with the use of Mesnes Park as our club-base. We have recently invested in a large quantity of training equipment, meaning that our players benefit from the very best coaching, with varied and interesting training sessions in an excellent environment.
As we look forward to next season and beyond we know that we need to plan for continued growth in the long term to keep up with the demand from children in the town to play Rugby League. The club has definite plans for further expansion and has commited to the establishment of a new under 7’s team every season.
