Rugby League

Brian Snape, who transformed Salford during his chairmanship of the club between 1963-77 and who was chairman of the Rugby Football League itself from 1974-76, has died aged 81 at his home in the Isle of Man.

First Division Wakefield have put a pounds 125,000 price tag on Wayne Flynn. The 19-year-old three-quarter or loose forward, whose brother Adrian plays for Castleford, has been put on the transfer list at his own request.
