Bridge

Rumour has it that WsC requested if they get into the final, that it be moved a week later so they can play in both and feild their strongest possible teams in both matches, hope this is true because the final will be a cracking game if both teams are at full strength.

I hope they see sense and delay the Ken Gee by a week. It's not often we have a local side in the amateur national cup final and they should be supported in that.

Good luck to them though. It'd be a massive achievement if they won the National Cup Final, especially coming from the NW Counties. I think a Wigan side has only won that competition once (St Pats in 1988).

Ive got a feeling Judea may have also, or did they just reach the final? Or have i dremt up both



Good Luck to Cuthberts though, the 2nd half of the season they seem to really have picked up some form and have beaten a few very good teams to reach the final. Lets hope they delay the Ken Gee match because them v Bridge will be a cracker with a full strength Cuthberts team and is one i will deffinatly be going watching if im not playing the same day

Which final?

Cuthberts play Siddal in the BARLA National Cup Final at Flyde RLFC 3:30 on Saturday.

Then they play Ince Rose Bridge at Rose Birdge on Sunday in the Ken Gee.

For some reason i thought Judes had won the national cup once, the one Cuthberts are playing Siddall in. I know the schedualing of the games though, I think im going over to blackpool to watch the match

I hope so to, i get copied in the emails regards the Ken Gee, so will advise on here if i get any news.

Was told on Facebook by someone that Cuthberts asked and Rose Bridge are happy to delay but the organisers won't budge.

Bridge had to back up 2 x seasons ago after playing in the National Cup Final the day before (I think about 5 backed up and the rest were 2nd teamers, I remember Tony Baker & Andy Eatock backing up.).

I think Cuthberts will be doing a mix as well. Did Rose Bridge win that day btw?

Can't remember? I was there and I remember it being a Red Hot Day!

They had a Bar outside selling draught but best of all a SKIP full with Ice and Cans being sold out of it!



I wonder why I can't remember!



Last thing I remember was talking to our Trigger at about 10 o'clock in the evening and he was still cut up from the loss the day before!

A NWC "Stitch Up!" I think I remember him calling it!
