I'll be there supporting you all, and there for the after party

Good luck....rip in!

St Eddies Yr 9's have a cup final against Lowton next week as well , either tuesday or Thursday at Wigan RU as far as i know , still trying to find out

, the team has a real chance of lifting silverware

Year 8's won the cup last week v Abraham Guest.

It looks a real hot bed of rugby tallent

coached by our very own ian gildart



had a massive influence on our team and seems so on the others.

He did a bit with them last season , but this year the 9's are being coached by a new P.E Teacher(who i think is leaving at the end of the year unfortunately) he's done a great job with them , there are some really good players as well in the year who play club Rugby at U14'S level, they now seem to be playing as a team

greg mannion, does quite alot with us aswell



hes only on teacher training i think

Yea that's him , good coach and nice bloke....The yr 9 final is on Thursday 5pm KO at Wigan RU, vs Rosebridge not Lowton

Well done to St Eddies yr7's and Yr 9's who won their respectiive finals at Wigan RU this evening ..the year 7's had a convincing victory over the deanery and the Yr 9's battled back to win a tough game aginst Rosebridge who were leading 14-12 at Halftime , the final score was 22-14 to Eddies...well done lads you deserved it and a special thanks to Mr J Griffin and especially Mr G Mannion who has given this side self belief

he is quite a nice guy to speak to and he's helped out with the y7's who seem chuffed to have him coaching them aswell glad the lads at all the age groups have done so wel and just hopin the y11's have a succesful time next week

Bloody hell - he also coaches my son at St.Pats, and IIRC is something to do with the Wigan Academy. Where does he find the time???

Gildart is assistant coach at Wigan U16's.

could we be seeing Gildart around the 1st team soon ?

Which one?

BUMP

I think his eldest is already on the scholarship. His youngest plays on the same team as Jake so U12's - 13's next season

Oliver is in the Wigan U15 team.

I think thats what I meant lol, been a long day.......

sadly we lost 22-10

but the game was refereed by a 17 year old from dewsbury



surely they should of sorted a more experienced ref out for this kind of fixture, then i remembered its the RFL.

Sorry to hear that you lost , but it's still a great achievement , and the school has sent out a message that there are some great players/teams who will no doubt win many more honours.

I was reffing similar kinds of games when I was the same age, there isn't exactly an abundance of refs about and these lads need big match reffing experience somehow, plus they can be funny about paying you for schools games, I remember the normal fixtures they definitely don't pay you for but can't remember if it was the same for the finals. Having said all that I do remember touch judging a Y11 schools final with Phil Bentham as the guest ref.

Its about time Eddies started to gain recognition for Sport in my opinion.

Likes of Darrell Goulding and Jamie Foster in Super League to name the main 2, and then we have even had a Wimbledon 'star' in Jane O'Donohue who los to one of the Williams twins



I attended the school myself, and im glad to see it finally getting on the map for sporting results instead of just GCSEs etc and the thanks has to go down to the PE staff there.

Fair enough. However it is still dwarfed by somewhere like John Fisher when it comes to sporting achievements

Standish High aren't doing too bad either...

with the likes of Paul Deacon, Matty Russell, Logan Tomkins, Sam Powell, Tom Spencer.

Also, 4 scholarship players with the 15s and 2 with the 16s.

I thought Deacon went to Mornington
