Sport in St.Helens

Experience the excitement of premier year-round horse racing at the UK's most visited racecourse, Haydock Park,
including the 'Betfair Chase' at the Northwest Masters - which ranks alongside the Cheltenham Gold Cup and
King George V Stakes as one of only three 'Grade 1' steeplechases over three miles in Britain.

There is action-packed Super League Rugby at one of the world's best known rugby clubs - the all-conquering
'Saints' (treble winners in 2006 and winners of BBC Sports Personality Team of the Year) and high-octane national powerboat championships at Carr Mill Dam.

The fact that the borough also boasts not one but seven high-quality golf courses perfectly sums up the choice and quality on offer.
