Hi Ladies Gents

For those dont know who i am i am the Secretary of the Steve Prescott Foundation.

We had the great privilege of taking the Official Carnegie Challenge Cup Ball all the way with us on this years Challenge which was from Catalans to Wembley.

Here is a pic of Steve Prescott placing the Same ball down for the Kick Off



This ball has now been signed by the entire Winning Warrington Wolves Cup Final team and within the next few days it will be auctioned off on Ebay.

It will come with a Letter of Authentication from Steve Prescott.

As soon as it is on Ebay i will let you all know.

Regards

Martin

ill be bidding

Fantastic stuff.

You're right there

cant wait for this, i will be trying for this one

I would love to bid, but I suspect it will be way way way out of my price range very quickly. Good luck with the auction, and I hope that several people with very deep pockets all want the ball and drive the price sky high.

I wonder if the club would be interested in buying it?. Whatever happens lets hope that you raise plenty, good luck.

I really liked the t-shirts and vests the guys were wearing on the day at wembley (the one Steve is wearing in the pic)....I thought a small run of them would have proved popular?

Far too expensive for any of us to even contemplate.

I nearly touched that ball !!!!, as we walked up to the stadium, i heard a voice from behind shout "Up the Wire" as we turned around i saw it was Scully, just behind in the group running was Prescot who passed the ball to me, it was intercepted by my lad who passed it back, as Prescot caught it he said youve just had the match ball.

I have obviously got a little bit slower these days, 20 years ago i would have had that pass and been away

Isnt there loads of match balls? like when the balls kicked out and restarted. must be about 10 of em.

Yes there is......but there was only one that made the full journey from Catalans to Wembley

This ball was the official Carnegie Challenge Cup Ball one and when it was first kicked into touch Carnegie took it out of the game and the ball made its way to me.

The Letter of Authentication will be signed by Carnegie the main match sponsor to state this fact.

Here are some pics sorry about the quality they were took on my blackberry.





And Finally Prekky with David Burke Sunday Mirror Journalist.

Can I buy one of the bikes.

Doogal, post the ebay link up when your ready to auction it, i wouldn`t mind a go at the auction. I can see it fetching a decent amount, anywhere between £800 and £1500 and possibly more depending if someone really wants it.

Is it a full size match ball the same as used in the final ? I can`t remember or not if they kicked off with it or whether it was a one off special ball made for the Catalan to Wembley challenge.

If I had the money, id buy it and then give it back to prekky as a momento

Yes it is mate!

The Ball pictured with Steve, Lee and Adrian is the actual ball that was took every step of the way on the Carnegie Challenge. It was then placed by Steve on the Centre Spot for the Carnegie Challenge Cup Final. It is the Official Carnegie Challenge Cup Ball.
It will be mounted on a plinth and put in a Display Case with a signed photo of the above, the ball has already been signed by every member of the successful winning Warrington Rugby League Side.
Once it is mounted it will be put on Ebay and all the proceeds will go to the Steve Prescott Foundation.

very good cause i wish you well just to note i failed in the ballot for the london marathon to gain a place for next year but i am hoping to do a few half marathon next year and this chairty will be one of three i will run for by the way thanx to all who had a go on the "football" cards on my coaches we raised about £360 for the said charity so good effort guys

Well in Steve great effort.

Im sorry you didnt get into the Marathon mate maybe you could go in a Triathlon we are trying to set up for next year



Will ring you tomorrow (Thursday)

So when is it atcually on Ebay?

Like you Steve, rejection letter last weekend, it's getting harder to get in with this on-line entry. Before, you needed to make the effort to actually fill out the form, and post it.

id of had a go at that but we never got offerd it on our coach/? why is that we got nothing just a moaning every 10 mins of the driver about his driving hours he shouldnt of been late should he

i had one for every bus but because of the hassle that mornin i didn't get time to get round all the coaches i will do more next year if the foundation have them

Yeah I'm going to have a go at this one too. Not breaking the bank though.

I'm sure Coutts will back you.
