IF YOU attend rugby league games in West Cumbria you will almost certainly recognise Ben Challis.
The sport's photographer is a regular fixture on the side lines at Whitehaven RLFC games, and when he can attend many of the fantastic amateur games the county has on offer.
Ben's pictures tell a story of a year in rugby league across the Whitehaven News patch - whether it be the big hits, the big smiles
The team at Newsquest Cumbria would like to put on record sincere thanks to Ben for all his wonderful images - with the retired lawyer also dipping into a bit of reporting from time to time too!
Ben has once again provided hundreds of different photographs this year and to finish a truly great sporting year off in style we set Ben the (almost) impossible task of selecting his Top 15 Whitehaven News rugby league photographs of the year.
