There are so many people on our web site right now that I cannot get on to let folks know state of the game

The ground at Dewsbury is frozen in front of main stand but Karl who is there has said "we are going to give it a go" so right now the game is on. . Dewsbury groundstaff still working on the frozen area

I'll up date web site if I can get on it perhaps you all on here can pass the word around

Mike

Just to clarify the post it is the area infront of the terraced stand that is still affected by some frost in the ground .The situation is much improved from 9am and the inspection party had george flanagan testing the surface at pace with studs to see if it was safe . he reported little problem and felt safe on it . the affected area is roughly 10% of the total playing surface with the remainder soft and wet . we anticipate by game time that the surface will be as near uniform as we can make it .

We'll see how he feels later on when he's been trampled on by our pack



I remember the play-off game at Batley last season when he got caught up in some shennanigans with Fax players.

Marvellous. Lovely stuff. Nice start to the campaign.

Dewsbury 6 - Fax 36 final score

Great work Fax and sounded like we could have had 50 with a bit more luck

good win as very hard place to go and get a good result

In Dewsbury 'spoons, very happy. MoM Robinson. P.S. Supping Shepherd Neame, Late Red. Mmm!

Very impressed with the lads today, and in conditions that don't suit us. Agree with Hudd-Shay with Robinson as MOM and Handforth did well to command us round the pitch, but again very impressed all round.

Not impressed with Fozzard though, needs to grow up!

Dews offered little to test. BUT, you looked more than comfortable all afternoon. I thought you'd lose before the game. From the outset the result was never in doubt. As I've just said to my mate, underestimate Fax at our peril!
Fax looked organised. Dews?? Dear me.. the swear filter prevents my preferred descriptor!!!

Thought we played with an intenisty that I haven't seen for a while, piling into the Dewsbury pack like thier lives depended on it.

KH looks to have really got in the players heads in a positive way.

Bowman and handford looked the part today but hats off to Robinson he never took a backward step all afternoon.

You can never tell after one game can you. As we were driving home we were discussing, were we good?, were Dewsbury bad?
After our "friendlies " I was quite despondent, now? not sure, think it will be a difficult year. But, great fun.
One thing for sure terrific team spirit.

I just enjoyed watching a game!!! Bloody weather!

It was great to see our lot patting each other on the back and the enthusiasm after a good play, it's something we've been missing for a long time I think.

We have been a one man team (Penky) for far too long and today has confirmed a rosy future IMO. Calland's rotation of three hookers worked for half a season but he tried to flog it for too long.

Our forwards were immense today however the options displayed by Bowman and Penky (supported by Handforth on the positioning side), particularly on such an awful pitch were terrific - THEN we introduce Thackeray who to me looks like a class act in a blue shirt!

Good stuff folks - can't fault anything I saw at all today. The ribbing of Fozzard was great!

Well played fax. Defence awesome. Worth entrence cost just to see that tackle by Jim on Fozzard.

Message to Fozzard not going to be a walk in the park compared to super league that you exepected you numpty

nobody had a bad game, great start to season. Hoped we would win but did not expect to be so easy. Pitty dulls won but hey ho main thing is fax did the business

To be fair, after that first tackle Fozzard, didn't hide, he asked for the ball three times in succession, pity however that the last time he ended up doing his war dance and looking an idiot. I said after that, "wait for the cheap shot" and it came. Penky and him on report. my opinion, no case to answer for both of them. After all it's Rugby League. It's a hard game.
