Great win for the All-Rounders yesterday, best I've seen them in a couple of years I don't really know where that performance came from, maybe HalifaxJohn was their lucky mascot for the day. Looking at Park's beating at Bowling it looks like he chose the correct match to watch for the afternoon. Nat's Whitehall lads got back to winning ways after a stuggle the previous week & I understand the Stainland Stags pulled off a massive win against top of div 2 Illingworth in the local cup, well done to them if correct. Siddal had a great win at West Hull to keep the pressure on in the Conference top few positions too, they're coming good.

Went up to Cowling yesterday, what a great set of lads they are. Rarely do they get a full compliment of players but they keep going playing in a great spirit.

Seeing as this was in the "de-railed" thread, I thought I'd keep this one ticking over on here:

Gingdong "[iChequerfield were never kicked out of the league, The biting bit was on the head of a physio when they were playing Stanningley Crown in Leeds, Crown were the scummiest team iv ever played against, the physio was not an innocent bystander, it was a ball bearing gun not an air pistol it never hit the ref was just fired into the air. Throwing punches and trying to bully goes on in a lot of games, we played them in Ponte 1st game of the season beat them no problems. the lads told me themselves they had a tougher dirtier game in Greetland last Sat. Chequerfield had a few games running were they got some bad press and gave them a bad reputation, undeserved in my view i could name you many teams and clubs much, much worse than them and not all were from the old Yorks league"[/i


Gingdong, did you not make the trip over to Greetland last saturday ? 'cos I watched the game with HalifaxJohn & it was far from that description in all honesty, Greetland are in the main a bunch of kids who have lost several lads recently who've gone on to Uni & it's weakened their side somewhat in terms of rugby. There was only one Greetland player who at any time was over-aggressive for a couple of minutes but other than that the visiting side were indisciplined in most ways giving away far too many penalties, although the high shots appeared to be lazy rather than malicious hits & it was Greetland's far superior energy & enthusiasm which got them their win rather than any other reason. It seems a far more competetive division 3 this season than what i saw last season.

As you know Colin I usually watch another team in a higher division. So as not to upset anyone I will not name that team. My honest opinion is that if on their day Greetland would beat a few teams in the division I am talking about.
Will continue to watch the other team at home but if away I will certainly watch Greetland at home.
Where else could you find a father who's son is playing in an international prefering to watch Greetland.



As he said "you know me Colin, Greetland through and through"
Bloody hell 2 mins gone Unt down by 1.

Well that's me beggered KCP away, Greetland away, no disrespect but don't fancy Div 6 so it might be Brighouse rangers.
Any suggestions?

Queensbury v Slawit

Yes, a good idea, BUT, I feel a bit uneasy going to Queensbury, the supporters, aren't they all over weight, unshaven tatoo'd and wearing Bulls shirts? and as for the men?

You should see slawit it is a family affair!!

Yes i managed to make the game, You miss my point, the game wasnt dirty at all but was still dirtier than when we played Ponte social away, so what does that say about them? Im just trying to point out that round these parts and with people that have played in the old Yorkshire league Chequerfield were never known as a bad team, not even in the top 20 worse teams. The guy on the other thread names some one that got racially abused there, but he must realise that was very common a few years back i played with a West Indian half back and he was abused everywhere including in Halifax but it never bothered him, made him laugh, i myself have been racialy abused at Queens. As for Saturday We were terrible our body language from the off was bad, we were lethargic and seemed uninterested, we had an half decent team on paper but didnt perform, they have been beasted with tackle bags tonight because of that performance, think the return might be a bit closer

I see Selby still suffer from their travel sickness

Everytime i''ve played against you lot i've faced a completely different team over at your place.

Last 3 years the 1st team have come 1st and 2nd twice so thats hardly travel sickness, what we have suffered from is 15 players leaving us in the summer to start Knottingley Rockware up, but we are slowly rebuilding, the reason we lost last week was because they played shiiiite and some of them looked like they couldnt be bothered

Are you still involved Lee ?

Yes bud they keep me busy

You'll get rheumatism up there every other saturday LOL

Certainly clears the hangovers!!

HAHA

Whats going on with the new clubhouse at Queeny? Taking almost as longg as the east stand.

Going there this aft, will have a look.

Looked all locked up to me, but I left after the final whistle.
The afternoon for me didn't get off to the best of starts, I never feel comfortable in BD postcodes (only just found out it doesn't stand for Brain Dead) and when I found my fish and chips were cold and wrapped in the Telegraph and Argos I knew my day was going down hill.
A very good first half, Queensbury playing down hill,and it is a slope, were winning 8 6 at half time. It was quite obvious that was not enough. Slowitt ran away 40 points to 8.
Lee, alias Urbancarrott did not recognise me and if I hadn't noticed his highlights before the game I would have though they were touches of grey after the match.
Enjoyed it, blimey it's cold up there.

Certainly had a busy day John! Plenty blood spilt. Thought the game changed when they brought on their ex bulls half back and current swinton full back

Haha Hawkyard ! They did the same in the summer league with Marlon Billy.

I understand Greetland went to Ponty with only 12 men including two forwards & still managed to nudge a win. Stags & Whitehall both had good wins again too.

I don't mind ex pro's going and playing amatuer as long as they are not ued as ringers for certain games etc... Its only my personal opinion the lads didn't really say much but when you have a tight game like yesterday to throw on a current professional is a little naughty I think. The game was 8-6 with 20 minutes to go and they throw on richie hawkyard. Game finished 36-10.. It is not right, especially when you know come the second week in November these players won't be playing!

They do it every year, come back end of season they will be very average and their A team will also suffer as they will have to make numbers up in first team.

Lee,
With not being familiar with that division I had no idea whether one team or another had "ringers" in.
The problem seemed to be down your right wing, I'm pretty sure that's where their late tries came.
Queensbury certainly have some good players, obviously I don't know their names but to me 13, 7 and the old lad at 8 (don't tell him) and the player who got a bad lip and nose.
As i say of every game I watch Rugby League is the toughest sport in the world at whatever level.
Incidentally my Grandson, Stephens lad won opposition man of the match, man of the match and try of the match this morning for KCP under 8's.
Good luck to Queensbury for the rest of the season.

Well doen to your grandson mate, I can see this is gonna start costing grandad in reward money haha.
