I said earlier in the season that it was still wide open, and I was glad we had the gap at the time because we would get pegged back at some point. We need to turn our form around to stay up there now, a lot of good teams in contention. We've played every team apart from Bamber Bridge now and every game had been tough, and we know Bamber Bridge are a good side too having beaten Irlam this year. We're still confident against anyone in the league though, training hasn't been the greatest over the last month or so and we will improve now we're back into it.

yeah i think you men should win the league me. Out of everyone your the strongest team. Strong alll accross the park. Not a happy buunnyy today might not be playing rugby saturday started new job last night and was in hospital for 4 and half hours last night getting 7 stiches in me hand



if i had any luck it would be bloody bad luck lol

Irlam are a very good side aswell oggy, don't think you've played them yet they will be tough, unbeaten since their first two games of the season and they will go joint top with us should they win their games in hand.

Turns out we are not playing at the weekend, as Higginshaw are in the National Cup against Hunslet Juniors.

thats probably abad thing for you men. Keep rusty until we play you again haha looks like im in for waterboy saturday dont know what its going take to get on the bloody pitch lol. And a lot of people saying that about Irlam will be a goodtest against them. We dont underestimate anybody in this league though every team is capable of beating each other and nobody who walks on a pitch is going to be a walkover. Every rugby player has something about them so you have respect that

if irlam finish 4th i will show my on town hall steps

we (Leigh central) beat Widnes today about 32-14 i think hard pitch made the game pretty scrappy probably our worst display of they year but a wins a win. Good runout for next week. New Springs at home im looking forward to it already

lol

i didn,t play yesterday as i had to work,we lost 3 to injurys from irlam game and had 2 of us working but thats amateur rugby for you.the lads said you were decent team but not as good as new springs or irlam.

Tbh we still have a few injurys. And wasnt at our best yesterday we threw the ball about a bit too much and the ref didnt half penalise us (Most were are fault) we needed that run out New springs this week to say im excited would be a understatement. Read for a forward struyggle the pitch is going to be heavy

Oggy i agree with that other guy if irlam finish 4th i'll show my at town hall aswell! i watched the game last week against blackpool and the first 20mins of rugby they played was something premier side could only produce! i think there momentem will take them to the top spot at the end of the season! NSL are a good side aswell but only from wat i seen at the start of the season!

i only had them finishing 4th from what i have seen this year they are the only team we havent played yet. New Springs will take some beating at the top but we havent written our selfs off yet we havent played good rugby all year but we know we can turn it round

Just been told our games off oggy? Whats up there?

i wasnt too sure myself i worked last night but went down to the pitch this morn it looks like a swimming pool

hate the weather not looked forward too a game as much since i was about 7 lol looks like a few weekday matches are on the way

Saturday 5th February results:

Cadishead Rhinos 24 - 6 Rochdale Mayfield
Eccles & Salford 32 - 18 Pilkington Recs A
Leyland Warriors 4 - 27 Irlam Hornets
Widnes Tigers 30 - 6 Blackpool Stanley

Eccles must have had a full team they are capable of these results when they are at full strength thats a bit of a shock though what happened Ace Face??

we just didnt turn up. one of our worst performances this season but credit to eccles, they played well.

We've had two tough games away at Eccles this season, we were behind at half time in the league game and had to dig in for the win, and in the Cup we only had 13 and they defended very well and made their bench count. Don't play the best rugby but got a very big set that keep working. Just proves that you have to be on your game against everyone in this league.

cadishead with another good result today looks like there outting a good run together. Looks like you shouldnt of tipped yourself ace lol. How were Bamber NSL?? they were a tough little team last year. Didnt play again yesterday we only played with 15 good result though

Never once said we would win it. Not playin too clever at the minute. Higginshaw away this week so another tough one for us.

We made it hard for ourselves oggy, loads of silly mistakes and missed tackles in the first half left us 14-6 down at half-time and got out of jail really with 3 minutes left. We really dug in in the second half, we needed that win with the run of form we've had so we're pretty pleased even though the performance will have to improve. We're a bit short on players still, and one of our U17's made his debut on the wing and scored the winning try



BB are a decent side but they were a bit reliant on two or three players and we closed them down well in the second half. They'll be a tough test for you lot next week.

Should be a great game between Cadishead and Irlam this weekend, both sides in great form. Higginshaw and Pilks will be a cracker aswell, your forwards will need to be well up for that Ace that pitch is tiny!
