irlam have been given the 2 points. new springs we r comin for use

Whens the game between us, do you know? We are only getting the fixtures week by week at the minute.

not to sure when that game is. but it should b a good game. the 2 best teams fighting it out for the league title

Pilks 28-16 New Springs

We were f****** awful today, only got going when the game was beyond us. Out-enthused from the start, terrible. Got it all to do now to win the league, should still be in our hands if we win all three because we've got Irlam to come but it depends on how well they've done today and how the points difference looks.

Well played Pilks, well-drilled set of lads there and they fully deserved it today, far better team on the day.

Very pleased with todays performance. We knew if our pack got on top of yours that we could do some damage. I thought our backs were really sharp as well. We look forward to playin New Springs, its one of our favorite fixtures which always serves up a good game.

I think Dave will be flogging u at training now tho.

points difference dosent count, coz teams can b given 18-0 wins. great win 4 pilks. nice 1 lads beatin them pie eating s. irlam for the league. by far the best team in the league

Your forwards were definitely better, especially in the second half. We had most of the territory in the first half, against the slope and with 12 men at one point, just poor execution cost us a lot of points and we conceded a couple of soft tries - great finish for the second try but defence was poor there (me

). No complaints about the second half though, just not good enough all over the park.

We're not too down about it, we've always had to beat Irlam but we have to win every game now (home to Bamber Bridge and Irlam, away at Leigh) to win the league.

How will we separate the teams should they finish on joint points then? Head to head record?

Head to head record is used to decide title/promotion/relegation issuses.

That's fine by us.

Leyland v Eccles
Irlam v Bamber Bridge
Rochdale Mayfield v Leigh Central

Our three remaining fixtures in bold.

Have you contacted the league to get your fixtures mate? Nobody at our clubs seems to be bothered enough!

if you have a free weekend nsl it must mean you have a midweek game against leigh central next week as all fixtures have to be completed by may 1st

We've got Bamber Bridge at home next Tuesday (20th) then I'm assuming it's Irlam (H) on the 24th followed by Leigh Central (A) the following Saturday.

tough week for you then next week

Definitely going to be tough but we'll be ready for it, can't wait actually!

no mate dont hink so anyway :S lol been working nights so not had chance too play abnd cricket starting now so i cba with the effort if iothers on our team aint gonna try either

New Springs 22-36 Irlam Hornets

Lost due to a crap start yet again, similar to the Pilks game were the game got away from us before we started playing like we can. Poor performance again but we weren't good enough at the end of the day, Irlam looked a far better side all over the park until the last half an hour. Absolutely gutted.



Congrats to Irlam though on a good win and the championship.

Final results for week ending Saturday 1st May:

Blackpool Stanley 12-30 Leyland Warriors
Irlam Hornets 34-32 Rochdale Mayfield
Leigh Central 0-18 New Springs
Pilkington Recs A 64-18 Bamber Bridge (4 point game)
Bamber Bridge 18-0 Leigh Central

Well done to everyone involved on a good season, had some cracking games with a lot of teams this year and there's plenty of talent knocking about. Not sure how the leagues are being structured but I'd say all the top 4 teams in this division would do themselves justice in Division Three and I hope it happens, would be a shame for any of them to stay down.
