Fixture change for Saturday 10th September

Bank Quay Bulls A v Thatto Heath Crusaders - 2.30pm Kick Off @ Bank Quay

This fixture has been arranged as Accrington (Bank Quay's opponent) and Leyland (Thatto Heath's oppenent) are playing in the RLC Play-Off Final this weekend.

Riversiders 32-10 Bolton, decent game in foul conditions, roll on the return of summer rugby.

Folly Lane "A" (*cough*) 52 - 4 Bury

We travelled with 14 (about 13 lads missing!) and possibly the oldest pack we've ever fielded, and an hour before kick-off we were stood outside the locked gates of Folly's ground - seems they were hoping we wouldn't show!

Started well and took the lead, and for a while we were evenly matched but then Folly's quality started to show. Folly's 1sts had conceded the away game at Leigh East, but plenty of the 1sts played today - and the much bigger pack and higher level experience started to tell. Down the middle and one channel we were solid enough, but a few lads simply didn't perform and Folly took advantage of some poor decisions in defence. Enjoyed the game despite the score, played in good spirit.

And yours truly had a try chalked off. Reckon a video ref would've given it.

I'll miss RL this winter but glad of a rest after playing 3 years straight.

Accy 20-16 Chester

Good game, terrible weather. Accy led 16-0 but we fought back to 16-16 before they regathered a short kick-off with about 10 to play for the winning try.
