No, it's an honest genuine question & I'm not having ago at CA's at all.

Banter or not, it's just interesting as Riversiders have no reason to have in-town rivalry as the team are made up of players from many different winter clubs through out the town.

Widnes west bank 28 - 22 wirral warriors

a good hard game, thought wirral where the best team we've played so far and will be some good battles between us that will be worth a watch if the games are anythink like today!! But bank march on still unbeaten....

wirral warriors 46-16 lumm wolves top result for the new comers since sullivans left lymm have gone down hill.

Ashton Bears A 22 - 12 East Lancashire Vikings.

The Bears A side got back to winning ways following last weeks 34-16 loss away at the Vikings. With players returning from injury we had a more settled look about the side and quickly took the initiative. The more experienced Vikings Pennine league players from West Craven Warriors started to have an effect though and at half time the score was 12-6 to Ashton. A tense second half followed with the Vikings scoring again. Hard graft from the forwards and extra pace out wide edged Ashton back into the lead and they closed the game off with a converted try 10 mins from time. Two great games over two weekends played by two skillful and commmitted sides. Honours even so far but a very encouraging summer for the new start team at Ashton.

sully aint left mate he works weekends but agree things dont go very well when hes not there

well hes neva missed any other weeks othger than the last 2

The result from 2 weeks ago:

Wigan Riversiders 6 West Bank 18

Riversiders operate as a summer club with players who dont play together all winter. West Bank came off a strong winter season together. It doesnt take genious to work out the rest.

Summer rugby is odd with teams being strong one week then poor the week after, take the following results within the space of 4 weeks

New Broughton 39 Wigan Riversiders 10
Wigan Riversider 46 New Broughton 6

I'd welcome any winter team who wants a crack at playing in summer.

Storm are putting one in





Seriously though, if youre short of players give me a bell / PM me, feels like years since winter season finished!

The west bank summer team is not the same west bank side that play in the winter league its mainly under 18's with a few from st maries, simmies and farnworth.

Don't be getting yourselves all worked up, I wasn't having a pop at WR's.

I was merely applauding West Bank who we have had some very good tough games with over the last 2 years.

God, touchy aren't we?!

wind up merchant

Way to dodge the argument.

west bank vs wigan riversiders, tough game last time we played them disagreed with there write up as they said we were afarid to take ball in. but come saturday we will see who will be taking backward steps because i guarentee were well up for this one.

You've got me all wrong!

Should be a good game Saturday....Can't see pasy a WB win though.

Can't be the same WB we played though if the reports are true about them being frightened of takin the ball up!

exactly cowies even though in that game only 5 players from winter team played (including myself), our 18s played and there not 1s to back down either. as you know we play the game the way it should be and riversiders will learn a lesson today.

Good luck.

Shame half of our side are watching Wigan in Perpignan or going on holiday like me.

Sounds like your getting your excuses in early to me

west bank 50-6 wigan riversiders like i said taught them a lesson 9 players i counted played against us last time and none of the wigan team wanted to no after 5 mins (when they scored). we had 15 vplayers it was a very scratched side and it was the first time 3 of our players had even played rugby. make excuses all you want but now new broughton have folded it means you men are more likely to come to us in a semi final and am sure the cowards that so called had things on today will have something else on too.

What's your problem? Well done on the win, nobody is trying to take anything away from you.

You and your team are my problem you come on here defended them, and your(wigan riversiders opinions on game make out you are the best team even when clearly beaten, just give a bit of credit thats all, but you have to have a pop a be a bitch about things

Defended who? What are you going on about?



One persons opinion doesn't necessarily mean it's everybody's.

Grow up, or just stop being thick.

50-6! Flippin eck!

What happened to the 40+ lads that were turnin up at Standish High ABP?

Little dicky bird tells me...If ya face don't fit (or you ain't got a season ticket!), you don't get a game? That reet?, and I don't mean that havin a pop like, just curious that all, heard it from a few that have turned up for you men pre season!

Strange whats happened this season, i think us running two teams has finally caught up with us to be honest. Fair play to WB this weekend i believe they played a very good game of RL against us. I wasn't there and AlexBP is correct with mentioning that 7 of the lads who played against West Bank last time out where watching Wigan in Catalan. No excuse, but it does show that our depth isnt enough yet.

The Riversiders started out as a "Supporters team" back in 2002, and continued to be so up until our debut league season in 2008. We are here to stay, and will continue to offer "any" players games during the summer months. We have players from Orrell St James, Wigan Bulldogs, Wigan St Judes, Wigan St Patricks and occasionally Shevington. So people advising that we are just a "season ticket" club is way off the mark. We also heard from lads at Spring View who wanted to keep fitness up during the off season and play for us.

2010 has proven a difficult year. But as all clubs do we shall re-build and come back stronger.

Cheers;

Fair Play.

Like I said it was only in conversation with a few lads that went down, and wasn't said being disrespectful of you guys....they just didn't feel like they could get involved/get a touch of the ball, because of numbers at training.

To be fair i can understand that comment, it got a stage when we had too many numbers! So it was hard to get everyone involved.

Like i say if any guys wanted to come down and play through the summer, then get down and see myself and we'll ensure everyone is welcome.
