I was just going off stuff that was apparently said at one of our meetings. Obviously wrong, apologies to you both, I only heard it second hand and shouldn't have put it on here really.

And I agree mate, not sure what will come of this 'merger' as I haven't heard anything apart from on here. But even then I think it will be too late to get back the players that are training at other teams.

We had some classic games against you men, first one I played in was the draw at our place a couple of years ago and I've played in them all since. Good memories of the first couple of games but I had shockers in both games last season. Good luck to you men next year.

what are your existing players doing who already ahve winter clubs???

Returning back to there own winter clubs. Players currently without a club we hope will be taking up the offer at New Springs.

Shevington Sharks start life off in the NWC Premier League with a very difficult home game against Wigan St Cuthberts on Sept 4th

They can be very encouraged with their victory over Ince Rose Bridge on Tues night. The game was played in quarters with Bridge fielding their 1st team in the 1st and 3rd quarters and their 2nd team in the 2nd and 4th quarters. The Sharks had just the 17 for this friendly, but new coach Neil Baynes [ex Wigan, Salford and Whitehaven] will have been very pleased, with the fitness and some of the plays from the team

All the Sharks players will have got a lot out from the game, and Neil is looking forward to the season, along with the players so they can test themselves against some of the best amateur clubs in BARLA

I do, but I need the spreadsheet with the official fixtures. Otherwise I'll just be adding the fixtures week by week.

PM me your email address mate, I've got the latest list for NWC...

Might be after the final though, we're meeting for a few ales shortly!!
