Hi
I want to create several pages which each display only a single category of posts.
It needs to be a Page as I want the page to appear in the page menu, rather than in the list of categories. I use the page menu as the site navigation.
Is there a template for this, or what template would I use, and how would I modify it.
Thanks in advance.

That's nonsense...
See Pages and Categories.

Thanks vachi and moshu
I indeed need to do a lot of reading. I have only been using WordPress (or any blog/CMS system) for 3 weeks and have much to learn.
The Pages and Categories article is very interesting, and I agree. If I can use a Category instead of a Page, this would be preferable.
The problem as I see it is that I have many categories, and they need to be interleaved with the pages, like so:
Youth Rugby
etc...
There are 14 Teams with several other categories. Category pages are in bold.
This interleaving means that from what I understand so far, I either need to create pages that display single categories or sub-categories, or find some way of merging the pages and categories in a menu.
I accept that with a bit of work as in your article, I could hand craft a menu, but this would very inflexible, as it would need to be hand modified whenever the structure changed, i.e. if a new page was added.
So I believe that my next best option is to create a template for pages that will allow me to display a specified category or sub category. Then the page menu will work naturally and flexibly.
Other than having to code the template are there any other downsides?
I really do appreciate your advice as I am very new to this.
