Northampton Heathens: A Century Of Not Being Saints

This week we are joined by Rachel Greenfield, Luke Passmore and Jimmy Applegate from the Northampton Heathens. Playing out of the East Midlands Merit League the Heathens were founded in 1921 but can trace themselves back as far as 1903. We talk through how they got their name, what being a Heathen means and how they managed to bounce back from barely being able to field a scrum.

This episode is for Stretch.
