Let's just say in the game at your place in July a lot of familiar faces from that final lined up against us, and your 1sts didn't have a game that day. It's not like your lads aren't a recognisable bunch! I'm not complaining, as long as it's within the rules you play the best team you can field.
Big credit to you for fielding a team yesterday - it was clear when you were registering lads before the game you were struggling. Many teams wouldn't have bothered turning up. In fact when we played at your place we were in the same boat - we were down to 9 lads on the Friday, spent the day pulling lads in and signed 1 or 2 on the Saturday - had probably 30 unavailable and a couple of us were ill, and another few played on injuries.
It's been good for us barring a few periods where we've struggled for numbers (like everyone else). Holidays, festivals, work all hit hard in the summer. One week we've 30+ lads, the next we're down to whoever is available. Our inconsistent results speak for themselves, again probably like everyone else.'"
Must say a big thank you to your team. A lot of our lads were only young and some playing in their first open age game got a bit more than they bargained for! My coaches tell me that your players offered them lots of encouragement throughout and showed great sportsmanship. Thank you.'"
doesnt sound much like Cronus!
we've had some hidings over the years - and we know how it can hurt. anyone who steps on a pitch is there to try and deserves credit so running water on and giving a bit of support where we could was the least we could do. everyone at our end thought your number 11 was superb despite not being the biggest - made every tackle and broke through a few times.

Haha put those claws away. You should be pleased, you've got plenty of lads to choose from at the moment.
See you next week!

| Bury 38-38 Ashton Bears
Game of two halves. We were awful in the first, our markers switched off, defence was too passive, too many errors and penalties. Ashton took full advantage and used strong running and inside balls to good effect. After a see-saw start they gradually pulled away to lead 32-16 at half time.
The second half swung out way - we sorted our defence out and actually kept some possession, running in a few tries to pull it to 38-38 with about 5 mins to go. Even then we weren't great and for some reason forgot how to get the ball wide. Missed 6 kicks, which could have made the difference.
Decent game played in good spirit, big shout to Ashton for travelling with only 14. Enjoyed the game but not the anticlimax of a draw!

| Bury 38-38 Ashton Bears A.
A game of two halves which had a scrappy start until Ashtons young halfbacks got into their stride and soon found holes in the Bury defence to build up a deserved 32-16 lead.
The second half was every much as scrappy with back to back penalties gifting Bury possession & field position and made it difficult for Ashton to get any of the 1st half consistency into their play. Eventually Ashton's defence gave way and Bury clawed their way back into the game. Ashton did show brief glimpses of their capability with a well worked try but every time they built pressure another penalty or dropped ball broke up the Bears attack.
Bury eventually drew level right at the death. A frustrating day for Ashton but credit to Bury for not letting their heads drop in the face of a 1st half hiding but in the end a draw was probably a fair result.

Calling all our Div 5 friends and rivals!
We've been nominated for some awards - see here: www.pitchero.com/clubs/burybronc ... 77584.html
but most important a couple of players have been nominated too and it's open to a vote! Pls, vote here: www.surveymonkey.com/s/7TTQ2YC
Chris is a stalwart of the club, usually at loose or sometimes hooker and has probably played in 95% of all games since the club was set up! Most people will recognise him for the amount of work he does tackling up the middle.
Blake is up for young player and has really stood out with almost all clubs voting him in the Top 3 since he joined. He's the small, but bullet quick full back...he's only 20 and joined us from an RU club in May but has really really suited RL (except for the odd kick on tackle 1!). 25 - 30 tries in 13/14 games tells its own story.
If people remember the lads, please give them a vote!
