I am sat at home with the little baby searching everywhere for the score updates, I Cannot find anything online anywhere. Can anyone help with updates or even a Link to where i can find them.

Cheers in advance.

half time. 4 - 0 to Halifax, but we have to go uphill in the second half.

Batley bombed a sitter a couple of mins before the end of first half and both teams have one in the bin.

Thanks fella, Where are you getting the updates from ?.

I'm at the game.

Any chance of a blow by blow account, The courier used to do updates on twitter but havn't bothered so far this year.

Is beswick Fielded ?. or still no sign of him.

Come on the FAX !!!

Beswick, black, Makaili, nash, not here

We know black is injured and Mikali resting i think, Nash in aus still. Its that Damn Bob Beswick thats the issue, There is something on this forum about him and Daryl Powell apparently saying he is a fax player and looks like he will still be one this year so not sure what the crack is here, i hope we get his name on paper soon so he can start mixing it up with the new lads. We dont want them Gelling too late !.

Black and Makali have slight knocks ..... Beswick officially is unavailable due to his 'minor' operation on his elbow. Hope this helps.

Come on, people. There are enough threads about who has not re-signed and why. Please keep this thread on the todays game.

Btw, I've just heard that James Haley scored in the first half for us.

I am not at the game so all i was asking was which players who are missing were on the field and which ones wasn't.

Spanish Bob has told us 4-0 at half time so that must be Haleys try.

loosing 10-4 now

Doesn't do any harm to gel late - look what you did last season!!

Yeah but fixtures arn't like that this season due to sheffield and their ground. I think its leigh that have it very difficult this year with the fixtures, If they gel late then its too late. they play bog boys twice in the first half of the season.

FINAL SCORE 11-4

Doesn't sound like the best of matches, but with the players out we have and the ground it was it dont matter one bit.

sorry mate don't agree with you that it doesn't matter. i was our chance to put a peg in the ground and stamp our authority on the league. yes we had few guys out. but another trophy is always nice to have in our cabinet. they now have 2 to our 1

I agree with you.

Batley took it seriously, hence why Karl put Moore back on to do the drop goal.

All in all it was a tough hit out for the lads, I thought greenwood was good again, Worrincy ran his heart out (needs firmer ground though), Barlow (sam) was strong, although a bit hot headed. Penky needs to concentrate on his game instead of trying to ask for penalties on every play, although he moved the ball around well. Anyone know who came on at full back (no shirt number) and left that huge gap for Batley to score?

I am sure that the next time we play them it will be different.

Did John Fieldhouse's lad, Ryan, play? He's the BARLA full-back that we were going to trial.

That could have been him then. I didn't recognise him and there were no announcements.

For the age of the team we had out - it was a good game. The ref was as blind as a mouse and gutless too!

Batley were taking uber seriously and that was obivous. Not saying we weren't but we mixed things up to see if it worked.

Ratu looked sharp in defence and attack, although only played 2nd half.

Jones distribution and kicking game looked 1st class.

Other than that just missed too many key players to make the difference, particulatly fire power of Makali, Gannon and Frank.

Batley had the slope sussed and retained posession well.

Couldn't fault the effort though.

Bring on KR!

You can tell Moore has a real niggle about being a Fax reject.

He bought the yellow card for our player, I was sat in the stand in-line with the incident and he clearly threw the 1st punch whilst on the floor after being tackled.

Glad Blacky didn't play as no doubt he would have been dodging Moore's cheap shots all game...

I concur but he brought his dismissal from Fax upon himself and no-one else.

What was the fax line up?

Greenwood
Worrincy
Patterson
Haley
White
Jones
Bowman
Cherryholme
Penky
Barlow
Clayton
Bannister
Smith

Then various subs - no announcments made.

Fax didnt have Gannon, Watene, Azue, Black playing and a few others.
