Neil hailed the day as a great success and said.

"In total we raised £400 through the morning. The team at Saints from waiting on staff to executives have been absolutely fantastic. My friend Rowena Thomas baked over 40 Saints cupcakes for the big day.

Congratulations to Roger Bennett from Hull who managed to complete the Great North Run 13.1 miles in 2hr 15mins.

Sadly St Helens Legend Wilf Smith passed away on the 17th June.

His family kindly agreed for donations to go to The Steve Prescott Foundation.

Saints Historian Alex Service tells Wilf's incredible story.

Born in 1935, Wilf was a stalwart of his home-town club and was present at Langtree for the Players' Association luncheon a few weeks ago - as he always did - where he was in the company of his many friends and team-mates.

He was a stalwart of the St. Helens club - the ultimate clubman, in fact - and it is quite true to say that the game was in his blood. His father, Tommy, was a fine second-row forward with the old St. Helens Recs team between the wars and was part of the famous ‘Smith, Fildes and Mulvanney' back three!

Unfortunately, Tommy, who played more games for the Recs than anyone else [460] died when Wilf was in his very early childhood, but Wilf was naturally extremely proud of his father's achievements. The family rugby links have continued: it should also be noted that Wilf's son-in-law is Gary Connol
