62-12 to Siddal

Park lost heavily at home to Brighouse rangers. Park had a 13 point handicap but lost by more than that.
Park had one man sent off very late in the game for a high tackle, fair decision I think and it had no bearing on the result.
As I say every week, what a hard game rugby league is at any level and despite the sending off what a tremendous spirit it was played in,

Greetland also lost at Stainland regardless of the handicap of -7. Poor quality from both sides & even worse from Phil Downsborough in his fancy dress disguise of a referee's outfit. Congratulations to both teams for not losing their cool, Stags even got penalised twice for feeding the scrum......
Good luck to the Stags in the cup, they could win it this year with their youthful enthusiasm & nice to see Bloemy has knocked the funny business out of their game.

We at Whitehall beat Illingworth with a handicap. Go through to face Brighouse in the next round!

s i said a couple of posts earlier, Park lost to Brigas yesterday, they look a very good side.
Best of luck.

Notable wins for Halifax Irish in the cup at Slawit, KXP in the championship, speedy McQueen's Queensbury lads & Bloemy's Stainland Stags might just have been promoted with their win yesterday.

The Greetland lads are dragged back into a dog fight against relegation again, just losing at home to league leaders Underbank.

Now that the better weather & firmer tracks are upon us, there'll be more running rugby & the better & fitter sides should prosper.

Aye - i've just found that out. Many are blaming Siddal for opting for that Winter cup comp.

it is the national cup so should be allowed to play for it.

That'd be because they can't see what d1cks BARLA are, the RFL are no better, they won't be happy until they have all rugby league within their sticky mitts.

can you explain clearly what happened today between siddal,barla and the rfl?

The impression I've got John is that BARLA and the RFL don't like speaking to each other and scheduled a National Cup game and a league game on the same day. Understandably Siddal wanted to fulfil both fixtures and as they're in the latter stages of the National Cup chose to treat that as their priority, and sent the second team to fulfil their league game. The scoreline reflects badly on Siddal when in reality they were left with the crap hitting the fan because of the RFL and BARLA having a tiff.

Just take a look at the Pennine league disciplinary charges again in the paper today, almost exclusively non-Pennine clubs again. When you've got 10mins spare, take a look at the abandonement video, YOU know where to find it, Sharlston v Fryston, national cup quarter final last weekend. Fryston down to eight men after their FIFTH sending off !!!!

Fryston are disgusting.. Fans and players... Daft thing is when they play rugby they are a decent side. They are just full of cake heads.. No doubt the pennine league will let them in at some point
