Fails WP:GNG and WP:NSPORT. It competes in regional league. (Level 7). Basically it is not a notable professional league or competition. Delete. Kemalcan (talk) 07:27, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:NRU and while there is some coverage, it is merely trivial coverage and not enough to pass WP:GNG. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 09:34, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Would that Wikipedia had the actually notable things, which are the Ashington Coal Company one of whose ventures was the Ashington Welfare Club, which in 1924 had "twenty-seven football teams, eighteen cricket teams, three hockey teams, and two rugby teams".(Dintenfass 1992, p. 105) Yes, the rugby teams that are alluded to here. Yes, the Hirst Welfare club was the ACC, too, as well as Lynemouth and Lynton.(Davison 1973, p. 251) Ashington Joint Welfare was registered as a charity in 1966. But Special:Whatlinkshere/Ashington Coal Company tells us that we didn't even know, from a to-do list or otherwise, that we didn't have this, and it's certainly not specific to one rugby club.
