Yes, I think he was. He's a good lad,when he goes through a gap he doesn't get caught.

Was talking to someone at saints yesterday afternoon after saints v eagles and he told me Andre Savelio is one to watch.

Anyone seen him play?

How were the 4 (Martin Davies) and 5 (Adam Green) for Crusaders? Both impressed in a well beaten side v Wigan last week.

The U15s did struggle - particularly 1st half when they were losing 16-14 until the last play of the half when they scored (18-16). 2nd half was better and I made the final score 38-24.

Very scrappy game for Saints still missing the excellent David Hewitt because of injury and Dom Elkin and Jed Mawdsley because of Saddleworth reaching the Oldham final. Rob Harmon and Oliver Davies provided the hard yards while Adam Saunders was excellent at the back, slotting into the line in attack and looking very fast and skillfull. Lots of improvement needed if we're to beat Widnes at Thatto Heath on Saturday.

Didn't see much of the under 15's game, but the 16's looked pretty good in attack and defence. One try conceeded in two games and close to a hundred points scored. Keep it up lads.

Good to see Daniel Abram playing Rugby League, i remember reading that Rugby Union were after him.

Chorley Panthers fall within the Lancashire Service Area. It's a bit misleading as it covers teams from Leyland, Chorley, Blackpool, Heysham and West Craven (these were the only teams involved when I was coaching - maybe Accrington now, if they have a junior setup).

Dave Hewitt is playing tommorow for Saints U15 his first game back from injury.

He is starting on the bench.

Obsessive....seems to me your a bit obsessed with Dave Hewitt having mentioned him in most of your posts on this topic, i.e "missing" him in both games so far and now his return in tomorrows game. I agree with you he is a talented player and a great prospect, but the team doesn't revolve around just him. It just seems to me your putting added pressure on his young shoulders. This is by no means a gripe or anything its purely my opinion.

Dave is the most exciting player I have seen for years. I can't wait to see him in action. I heard big things about him so went and seen it for myself, he is a very talented lad.

Both teams stay unbeaten after easy victories over Widnes. Match reports to follow....

Apparently Mark Percival scored on the last play of the game to win it for the under 18's, sounds like a great game.

A widnes lad who is a star of the future!

But a star for whom? I would imagine now that Widnes are in the Superleague, he will want to play for his home town club.
