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

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.

good win for you men NSL. and BOOBOO i was speaking to someone from Eccleston he said you men were a huge team yourself b et it weas a good game>> know what ya mean about the pitch tho your just in for a arm wrestle when you play there. Dont know what happened too us on saturday i didnt play went leeeds on the s for the weekend



Good game Ace Face???

Yeah we played well mate, was never really a contest, glad we got a nil on the board because we could have nilled Mayfield twice the two weeks before that but for silly errors. Fair play to Irlam if they scored 50-odd on the same pitch that we played Mayfield on, it was a tip. I'm guessing they played on the main pitch though.

big slip up for us that on saturday but everything is still open yet. We have too play Irlam twice yet and you men cant wait for that 1. Wouldnt rule us out of promotion but will be very hard you men and Irlam seem too be playing someawesome rugby. Then you cant rule out Higgy Pilks and Cadishead still a lot too play for. Know what you mean about Mayfeild but tbh most grounds in our league aint the best

our pitch is quite bad recently too

that will be a tough 1 fore you men this weekk. Good young team Leyland fit and organized they just arent aggressive enough and you can bully them aroiund will be a good match that. We got Caddy at home thats going to be a right tough slog out we owe their forwards 1 and they will get it weekend

Yeah was a real good game against Leyland last time, every game's a big game now though we can't afford to slip up so we're preparing for every game the right way. Cadishead will be another tough game for you men.

true true has much as it hurts too say its between you and Irlam now you played them men yet?? think we will be too stron g for Cadishead at home be a good one though. Leyland will have a lad coming off bench with long hair strong and quick got to gang tackle him dont allow the 9 too jump and they dont offer too much. They get a role on and they cando a lot of damage. We didnt win the ground enough against them men

was far from a classic. happy to put an end to a 3 game losing streak nevertheless

good win for you men bring you back into the race now

im not so sure the top 2 will be caught now mate but we will carry on and c wot happens. got a chance to peg irlam back this weekend but thats easier said than done. should have 1 or 2 players back as well, lost a few players to the 1st team since xmas which is quite annoying

but thats the nature of a 2nd team i suppose.

thats true but we aint writing it off just yet even though its going to be extremly difficult to break the top 2. We have Irlam too play twice and New springs again yet. We know we have the team too beat anyone we just got too bring it all together benn a very good league tis year wereas last year we could have a bad game and win this year its diffrent every single team has improved.
