The 1919/20 Challenge Cup competition saw the first and only appearance in the first round proper of Healey Street Adults. This Oldham based club were drawn against Wigan, at Central Park, a very difficult proposition for any junior outfit particularly as Wigan took the tie very seriously and fielded a nearly full strength team. Healey Street also had a strong team on duty including Thomas Steele who, as a Sergeant in the 1st Battalion Seaforth Highlanders, had received the Victoria Cross in 1917 for conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty.
The late Mike Morrissey is a largely forgotten figure. This is despite the fact that his innovative ideas had a major impact on rugby league development at the beginning of the 21st century.
