Worst thing for a Newton player to hear yesterday morning lol "Bank Quay 1st game called off" after that it was always gonna be a hard day in the office... But what can you do, I'm sure Addlington would have known before Saturday morning if the pitch was going to be closed abd could have relocated or reversed the fixture but thats just me being bitter haha

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.
