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.

February 13th fixtures:

Bamber Bridge v New Springs
Blackpool Stanley v Leigh Central
Irlam Hornets v Eccles & Salford
Pilkington Recs A v Cadishead Rhinos
Rochdale Mayfield v Higginshaw
Widnes Tigers v Leyland Warriors

How are Bamber Bridge anyone? Could go joint top if they win all their games in hand and I know they beat Irlam earlier this year so we will be expecting a very tough game.

Division 4: P W D L F A Pts
Irlam Hornets 10 8 0 2 262 112 16

13th February results:

Bamber Bridge 14-18 New Springs
Blackpool Stanley 14-50 Leigh Central
Irlam Hornets 23-0 Eccles & Salford
Pilkington Recs A 26-36 Cadishead Rhinos
Higginshaw 40-0 Widnes Tigers
Rochdale Mayfield 6-30 Leyland Warriors

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!

Saturday 20th February fixtures:

Cadishead Rhinos V Irlam Hornets
Eccles and Salford V Widnes Tigers
Higginshaw V Pilkington Recs A
Leigh Central Lions V Bamber Bridge
Leyland Warriors V Blackpool Stanley
New Springs Lions V Rochdale Mayfield

Cadishead Rhinos V Irlam Hornets
Eccles and Salford V Widnes Tigers
Higginshaw V Pilkington Recs A
Leigh Central Lions V Bamber Bridge
Leyland Warriors V Blackpool Stanley
New Springs Lions V Rochdale Mayfield

Too be honest they was like that last year but seem to improved this year with some of the results. Cant wait too get back playing tbh been too long lol. Higginshaw pilks will be a good 1 definatly and the cadishead v Irlam could get a bit tasty being a derby and all.

They are effective in what they do but once we had figured them out they didn't give us too much trouble, we gave morre territory away ourselves by stupid offloads and conceding penalties.

How are Rochdale Mayfield? Haven't played these lot yet either.

Saturday 20th February results:

Cadishead Rhinos 18 - 22 Irlam Hornets
Eccles & Salford 48 - 12 Widnes Tigers
Higginshaw 23 - 15 Pilkington Recs A
Leigh Central Lions 18 - 34 Bamber Bridge
Leyland Warriors 58 - 4 Blackpool Stanley
New Springs 42 - 10 Rochdale Mayfield

Much better performance from us yesterday, should have nilled them but we conceded two stupid tries. Would have gone top on points difference aswell. We were very good on attack though.

Massive game next week, we owe Pilks one.

Our fixture list said we had Pilks away coming up this Saturday, but the official site says we've got Mayfield again?! Anyone know which set of fixtures is correct?

what a shocking performance from us this weekend. Never seen us play that bad we wouldnt have beat a division 6 team on saturday need to shape up now. And not too sure tbh mate

Leigh central 18- Leyland 16

very very good game leyland were a good young team didnt react too any niggles seemed a biut scared in patches but play very good rugby was a superb match to play in the lions are back

Rochdale Mayfield 6-16 New Springs

Good win for us as we only turned up with 14 men, picked up a lot of injuries last week and had a few faces that hadn't played for a while. The pitch was horrible, can't believe the ref allowed it to go ahead tbh but glad it's out of the way and another win under our belts, should have a much stronger team next week although I've no idea who we're playing yet.

Good result for you men considering. You going to have everybody back then?? we got Irlam i think should be a cracker we can keep the team we had on saturday together will do w3ell couple of new faces in and were starting too look a force. Loved the game saturday love the wet heavy condintions lol

We had about 8 players out this week, nothing long term so we should have most of them back this week. Fixtures according to RL Express are:

Bamber Bridge v Widnes Tigers
Cadishead Rhinos v Eccles & Salford
New Springs v Blackpool Stanley
Higginshaw v Leyland
Pilks Recs A v Leigh Central
Rochdale Mayfield v Irlam Hornets

New Springs 84-0 Blackpool Stanley
Higginshaw 13-16 Leyland

Rochdale Cobras played Higginshaw at higgs on sunday in a local semi final on the smallest pitch in the world....no room for our backs...nightmare lost 30-18, if you go there leave ya backs at home n bring more forwards!!!!!

Wish we did!!!!

Their pitch is a joke, even worse that you have to walk over a perfectly good pitch to get to the one they play on (I'm assuming you played on the same one we did). Fair play to Leyland getting a result there on Saturday, it plays to Higginshaw's strengths and their home record is good this season.

We've got Leyland away next week, big game for us. Rested a few players who were carrying knocks this week and there's only one player definitely out next week so looking pretty strong.
