Team Notes: Coached by Cal Rolfe, the Prairie Dogs played in the BNGL in 1990 and 1991. None of the players had any experience of American Football whatsoever. The League asked them to play three friendlies to prove that they were up to it. Their first friendly was away against the Conference Champions, Wigan Wolverines, they held them 6-6 until the final minute, eventually losing 12-6. Not bad for a first game !! They went on to beat Lancaster 6-0 away in another friendly and go onto play the third friendly. The squad ranged between 25 and 35 players and money was always tight. They initially played on The Prairie on the Northern outskirts of Burnley, hence the wonderful Burnley Prairie Dogs name. They were highly rated by the Referees, all of whom said how much they enjoyed reffing their games. None of their players ever questioned decisions and they were highly disciplined. If any player ever stepped out of line they were immediately withdrawn from the field, if they wanted the playing time they had to behave......
