crossfields 22 wild boars 26

we had to go there and get the win and we did against a much improved crossfields team, the team sheet was different from last game different faces, quicker line speed and fitter outfit and more organised in attack, i did notice their first team didnt have a game, they told us in the showers they had a few in, but when there coach comes in at the end and says you boys really deserved that im guessing there was a few more than they made out.

we started on fire 3 tries after 20 minutes and looked like we was really in command of the game then all of a sudden massive brawl in which a crossfield player/coward ran from behind after it had stopped and took a total airshot missed and ran off, the ref sent him off and reversed his decision at half timethis again i put down to the fact they were all on first name terms with the ref, went in 14-8 at half time again the start of the second half seen some good rugby by the boars and we was 26 14 and had to play hang on for the last 10 minutes,

our aim was a win and we got it, look forward to the bury game next week just hope there isnt much overtime going up there, or they didnt get many injuries last game, or no stag doos, parents evenings etc as we have waited a while to play bury and if we win this we need 1 win against westhoughton or newton to guarentee the league

Crosfields 24 - 34 Newton Storm

good win with a lot of key men missing. 4 sin binned.

from which side? they had 2 sent off and one binned when we went there. one binned on our side.

2 each, they were playing good until they realised the game was beyond them then they wanted to scrap instead. both our sin bins were retaliation to cheap shot punches being thrown.

we didnt defend to our best today but our attack was superb.

the pitch was like concrete, injured after their winger ankle tapped me when through on there line.

summer rugby will not be for Dipper!!

Rylands Sharks A 22 - 42 Crosfields - big win at a normally very strong Rylands - though neither 1st team had a game, wonder what the line-ups were like!?
Westhoughton Lions 12 - 34 Newton Storm - good win away from home.

Just Wigan Bulldogs vs Newton left I think!

Westhoughton Lions 12 - 34 Newton Storm - good win away from home.

Game re-arranged, Westhoughton travelled to us. still a good win though.

travel to bulldogs next week to complete the league.

been a good year,
