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 198icon_cool.gif.

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

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!

I was on the in-goal for that one, can't remember the result I remember the sun was cracking the flags though!
