Last Tackle and Farrell Sports have linked up to provide fans with an exciting new outlet for rugby league merchandise and equipment.

In a unique partnership, the shop owned by Dave Farrell will become part of the growing Last Tackle web service and act as our official shop.

The shop, which can be accessed through the "Shop" link on the left hand menu of Last Tackle, stores various items from Australian and British rugby league, as well as rugby boots, shoulder pads and team kits.

There will be an increasing range of stock available as we approach the new season.

Last Tackle owner James Gordon was delighted with the deal. He said: "This is a great opportunity not only for Last Tackle to grow, but for Farrell Sports to gain exposure.

"We want to become the premier service on the web for rugby league fans, and we feel by adding merchandise to our services of news (through the website) and views (through the forum) that this will give people even more reasons to visit Last Tackle.

"We'd like to thank Dave Farrell and also John Flanagan for their assistance in sorting this deal, and hope to see it reap rewards in the near future."
