Don't know about Ben Black being out of shape but he sure walloped down a 3 course meal in the top house before the FEV v Batley game. And that takes some doing. On the game itself. Easy to sum up. The Batley players ran on the pitch and thought "wet muddy day, 5 drives and a kick today lads" FEV on the other hand ran out and thought "lovely sunny day, lets throw the ball about" and they did, ALL GAME!!!!. 19 dropped ball compared to Batleys 1. Idiots, bl00dy idiots. Big congrat to Batley, they maybe or may not be a better team than FEV but they are a hell of a lot smarter.

Batley looking good. Benny looking sharp. Could be four teams in the mix for t'title this year.

Good game that was. Well done Batley. Premier Sports seems like a good set up too, the video ref analysis much better than that margin meter!

Batley look like a very good outfit to me, they were +8 on sky bet on the handicap and 2-1 for the win. I was all over that like a rash, a tenner on the batley win and stuck the handicap in as part of an accumulator. I was a little concerned to find them 10-0 down after 6 mins but they came good. John kear looks to have them very well organised, as for Leigh im not convinced on Rowley as a coach, he just doesnt seem to cut it somehow.

Wow ... always great when you show how much you bet on an event after it`s been played.
As for PR as a coach .....Leigh lost by a whopping 6 pts on the opening day League fixture.

Leigh also lost to Sheffield a couple of weeks back. Lets be honest this is Paul Rowleys umpteenth time at trying to manage the club on which he has failed every time.
