I'll search through the tables but I think NWC haven't deleted fixtures for one of the teams which dropped out early on.

I found it, Newton v Irlam on 8th Nov,
It wasn't published on NWC site.

I've added it now

Last set of results from December are as follows:

Eccleston 0 - 40 Pilks A
Haydock A 18 - 4 Blackburn Knights
New Springs Lions 18 - 0 St Cuthbert's A
St Helens Wild Boar 18 - 0 Shevington Sharks A

First round of games after the break, can't see too many going ahead in this weather though.

Irlam 10-26 Ovenden

Nice to see Irlam running a National Conference side close, good advert for the division. Will be interesting to see how the rest of the season pans out, looks tight between the top 3 of Pilks, New Springs and Irlam.

Blackburn Knights v New Springs Lions
Irlam v Haydock A
Newton v Crosfields
Shevington A v Eccleston
Widnes Tigers v St Helens Wild Boar
Wigan St Cuthbert's A v Pilks Recs A

24th January Results

Blackburn 24-22 New Springs

Newton 16-26 Crosfields
Eccleston 14-6 Shevington A
Widnes Tigers 21-14 St Helens Wild Boar
Wigan St Cuthberts A 16-4 Pilks Recs A

Top 3 in the table all lost.

Haydock are right back into the mix now with a great win at Irlam, and four other teams can get into the promotion picture if they get a good run of results.

Note that Cuthies 1sts didnt have a game

Did they play all their first team?

I dont think all the 1sts played but it was certainly a very different team than the one i watched the week before against Wild Boars. I reckon about 8 1st teamers played. We still give them a run for ther money tho.

8 first teamers



you need to report them to the NWC if thats what you reckon, the ruling is only 4 allowed.

we are aware of this.
no point complaining, just get on with it....
it is annoying tho as we were unbeaten up until that game.

rules are there for a reason, if what you are sayin is right then they have broken them and you would be entitled to the points which would mean you would still remain unbeaten. it could prove the difference between winning and losing a title. to be honest just havin 4 quality players makes a big difference to a side, it probably just felt like 8

Looking at the weather reports for this week, do you expect many games to go ahead this weekend?

Pilks 22-32 wild boars







it was 26-0 at one point, but the sloping pitch at city road played a big part in the score line

personally i think the scoreline flatters pilks!

well it does mate we conceded 3 tries in last 10 minutes when we down to 11 ref hammered us.but we knew with 10 minutes to go at 32 - 4 that we wouldnt concede 5 tries and had the game

personally, i fell the man of the match for the wild boars was bostock.

he showed some slick hands, setting up two of the tries and he was a rock in defence, showing no mercy on his opponents

the wild boars should take a leaf out of his book and they will win their remaining games!
