Newton Storm v Hindley
St Helens Wild Boar v Rochdale Cobras
Westhoughton Lions v Chorley Panthers
Wigan Bulldogs v Eccleston Lions

Bury played our 2nd team on saturday and they looked a much improved side, they even kept calm against some of our very old heads.....and seeing that bolton gave our 1sts the game on saturday



i think Bury will take em!!!!!!

Agree with them all apart from Bolton v Bury, i reckon Bolton will just edge it.

Anyone know how Newton's pitches are? Getting sick of this F00king weather!

We've selection headaches for the first time at Bury...squad is bigger than before and all but 2 available i think, unlike before XMas where we didnt have much of the pack available. a few to come back in who sat out the weekend friendly so i think we're confident we will give Bolton a game. I'll stick my neck out and agree with Ben's predictions...

We're training indoors tonight but on the pitch on Thursday so should have more info then.

Upto now I'm unaware of any problems with it.

Any news on your pitch yet mate?

Yeah, everything is fine mate.

Cya later.

Alex (no. 6)

yeh i know who you are, i came training a few times for the warriors supporters club a while ago. No. 6 v No.6

St Helens 8 - 29 Cobras

again had 8 missing for the wild boar game but im happy with the lads that played!! had 6 lads in from the 2nd team....they wont be in the 2nd team next week!!!!!

Top lads St helens!!!!! shame we couldnt of stayed for a big drink....sorry boys!!!!

Bolton Mets 46 - 4 Bury Broncos
Newton Storm 0 - 76 Hindley
St Helens Wild Boar 7 - 30 Rochdale Cobras
Westhoughton Lions 28 - 18 Chorley Panthers
Wigan Bulldogs 36 - 12 Eccleston Lions

Well, from a Bury perspective we were shiiiiite. Started cold, couldn't tackle, all went wrong and we let Bolton's big lads run riot. Terrible. Our worst game of the year. Improved for the 2nd half but the game was well lost.

Big win for Hindley, and well done to Westhoughton (Watty!) and Wigan, some good wins there.

Yesterday was Eccleston's worst performance of the season so far, nothing seemed to click for us. The game started off bad after winning a drop out from the kick off we knocked on with the first pass, add to this the fact that there was a massive kit clash which the ref didn't seem to care about despite it being brought to his attention at least 5 times, we ended up turning our shirts inside out after about 20 minutes, although this should have been done by the home team.

But, credit where it's due Bulldogs played some good rugby and scored some very good tries and deserved the win.

Storm had a fookin shocker, couldnt tackle to save our lives, and i got sent off. All in all a pretty sh*te day

Hi,

Do we have you lads (newton) on saturday at ours????

Ben Boo

Yes mate,if we get a team that is. We only had 15 on saturday, picked up 2 injuries and im working this saturday, so we may have a bare 13. Loads have lads have dropped off (hence the drubbings this past few weeks).

Oh god dont say that....do you have any idea how hard it is to follow Hindley in the Fixtures.....they put a big score against someone....we get a 18-0 the next week!! It has happend twice already this season!!!! We Have only played two home games up to now!!!!



Also Anyone got any thoughts on this week??

We (Newton) should field a team. We haven't conceded points for that reason this season and don't aim too. Although I do admit we're depleted at the moment.

Thanks for getting back 'ABP' was not disrespecting you lads, don’t know you from Adam....but you can see our dilemma. Shame about your numbers of late...happens to all teams and it’s a piisser when it does!!!!

Thanks again

Ben Boo

Hope we can field a team.

Alex the problem now is Rimmer cant play, Ryan cant play, big john cant play, Beef probably wont bother, im working, both the Rowes have jacked in, Chris weldin will bottle it again n Damien Witter will play union instead. Good luck tho

Oh I can totally see where you're coming from, you're spot on.

There's nothing more fustrating than a team giving up points for any reason, especially for not raising a team. Like Danny mentions above, we have players missing but we should raise a team regardless. It's just the front row we're struggling on I think.

Anyway, I'll be stand off and skipper on Saturday. Make sure you give me a shout.

Youre prop mate

Dont knock the props.......ill be the prop coming of the bench.....the white one with a beard!!!! ill give ya a shout

Out of interest are Newton RU still going? They used to have a good team, last time I played against them they ran 3 open age sides, vets and down thruogh all the junior age groups to under 7's.

Newton RU have just two open age sides and that's it I think.

Neither side actually train at all, they just turn up on a Saturday and always have numbers to raise two teams which is baffling.

NEwton RUFC first team is top of their division, 2nds are 4th in their league. Like alex said, never train but manage to get 30 odd lads every saturday...and win!!

BooBoo, we'll be sound for Saturday mate. Had good numbers at training.

Fingers crossed the weather and pitch is ok!

Sorted, ta mate.....the pitch holds up ok in the cold....could of got two games on two week ago when most where off.

Did you get you pm for directions.

Boo
