 | A single governing body unifying British rugby league for the first time in 29 years is expected to be approved by the amateur leagues at a momentous meeting on Sunday. |
| The British Amateur Rugby League Association's member leagues are, appropriately enough, holding the landmark gathering in Huddersfield, the birthplace of the sport at the George Hotel in 1895. |
| BARLA are receiving £130,000 for this financial year from Sport England and that provides a lifeline for the amateur game, enabling the organisation to employ seven staff at their headquarters in Huddersfield. |

| The British Amateur Rugby League Association (BARLA) is the governing body for social and recreational rugby league in the United Kingdom. |
| BARLA was created in 1973 in Huddersfield by a group of enthusiasts to deal with the dramatic disappearance of many amateur leagues and clubs. |
| The association has always been a champion of the amateur ethos and in 1987 BARLA played a major role in the establishment of the ‘free gangway' between the two codes at amateur level. |
