They should host it at Wigan St Cuthberts. A closed off venue with good facilities and most importantly it's only 5-10 mins walk from my house!

SV is probably through most secure ground in wigan behind irb in fairness

Here's a shout that may or may not be welcome.... How about it being played at Wigan RUFC! Superb facilities up there, the pitches are immaculate and the access is restricted to one way in, one way out! Unless you fancy a trek through the plantations!!

Are you sure?
Mini Rogue was in the gym yesterday morning and said that he had seen Shaun Edwards lookalike in there. I wonder if it really was him?

O/T but that brings back many memories, use to muck around there as a kid. When The Verve played at Haigh Hall we sneaked in via that route, Richard Ashcroft passed us as he was being driven in and we hid in a bush

It was definitely him.

Yeah it was definitely him. He was in his wasps gear and had quite a few people mitherin him.

Anyone know Friday and Saturday' s scores?

Think Ashton beat hindley a 38-10.

We lost v Judes, 48-18.

A bridge to far for us, judes are a quality outfit and we were short of ten first teamers due to a stag do.....we weren't allowed to rearrange. We started with 15 men, managed get another sub in the second half.

Judes were excellent though and executed well no excuses from me at full strength I think judes would have beaten us in that form, thought little baz and pengy were excellent and very dangerous, no.8 ran the ball in all day, it was a good clean game.
I enjoyed it but I'm suffering abit today!!

Semi Finals Next Weekend

Saturday: Ashton v Wigan St Pats (2:00pm)
Sunday: Wigan St Judes v Ince Rose Bridge or Wigan Bulldogs (12:30pm)

From what I've heard pats are the team to beat...but judes will take some beating on Saturday form.

As in the 21st and 22nd?

This weekend now yes. Anyone know Tuesday's result?

That's my Saturday sorted

Bridge won 60-12 in a complete mismatch. Think it was 42-0 at half time.

Bump

Final is between St Pats and Rose Bridge some time over the next weekend. I think Rose Bridge want to move it due to being on a stag do.

Typical excuses

Please, please, please, friday night or Sunday afternoon!!! - was gutted when I saw the date was planned for Saturday - clashes with an appointment I have on Saturday night in North London.

Busy weekend if it happens, UEFA cup final, Ken Gee cup final, Hull KR.....gonna cost me a new coat/handbag/shoes/jewelry/perfume etc somewhere along the way to smooth the passage of that one

If they move it its a joke when considering St Cuthberts were forced to play the day after they'd played in the National Cup Final a couple of years back.

Anyway the final is apparently Saturday at 2:30pm.

Exactly

We were told our fixture v judes could not be moved under any circumstances....as all our lads were on a stag do, hense the rinsing. We got!

Apparently because the fixture had been published....if that's the case then the final has been published in the league express this week!

Just sayin.....

The game is to be played as scheduled, yes IRB did ask to bring kick off forward to 12.30 and did not ask to change date. Request was turned down so game remains same. Also IRB had to play the day after the National Cup final and won !

oh bugger !
