Practice
During the spring and summer we practice at Trafford Metrovicks RUFC in Sale (M33 6LR). There is no charge for coming to practice and we are happy for anyone to turn up and have a go. We can provide all the necessary equipment. We also have some informal weekend batting practice sessions at the same venue for those who just can't get enough Softball!
Directions
- Head South from J7 of the M60 down the A56 to the first set of lights.
- At the lights turn right into Glebelands Road.
- Go about quarter of a mile down the road and Finny Bank Rd. is on the right hand side.
- Go about 25 yards down Finny Bank Road and where the road bears off to the left there's an entrance on the right hand side of the road with a driveway running down to the clubhouse.
- For those without a car the ground is about 10 minutes walk from Dane Road Metrolink station.
League Game venues
First team league games are played on Wednesday evenings at:
Wythenshawe Sports Ground
From Sale Moor (J6): Go East along Northenden Road, which becomes Sale Road. After the second pedestrian crossing turn left into Yew Tree Lane. Immediately before the end of Yew Tree Lane turn left into Willenhall Road. Continue under the Motorway, then turn immediately left to drive parallel with the M60. The club house is about 600 yards down this road. The car park is in front of the club house.
From Northenden (J5): Go West along Sale Road (bear right at the lights immediately after joining the road). After the pedestrian crossing turn right into Rackhouse Road, then right again into Yew Tree Lane. Immediately before the end of Yew Tree Lane turn left into Willenhall Road. Continue under the Motorway, then turn immediately left to drive parallel with the M60. The club house is about 600 yards down this road. The car park is in front of the club house. For Sat Nav use an M23 0DT postcode, this is Willenhall Road, apparently if you use the sort code for the actual fields many Sat Navs will guide you to the hard shoulder of the M60, not ideal.
If you are traveling by Bus there are two ways of getting to the grounds. The first is to get off on Sale Road (18,19,41), walk down Fellpark Road and cross over the M60 by the footbridge. The second (99, 101, 104, 105) is to get off a bus from the City Centre on the Parkway just after it goes under the M60, cross the parkway by the footbridge, then walk down to Willenhall Road via either Yew Tree Lane or the buses only lane on the west side of the Parkway, turn right down Willenhall Road (to go under the M60), then turn left and walk down the access road to the fields.
