I think it will be a big test for us this season but we have recruited well and kept all of last years squad which was decent to start with.

I'll be happy if we get something out of our local derbies and make a good fist of the season.

As CA says really poor conditions & was a chance to get a ball in hands. Like View our 1st ball session was on the Wednesday (winter pre seasons a nightmare finding facilities to do much ball work). A good run out or both teams & gave us chance to have a look at some of the 18's that have moved up & a couple of fringe players. Scrappy game at times but thats understandable & SV deserved winners in the end. Good luck with your season CA.

That's one big down side of summer rugby the pre-season is awful, when your used to being on the field in August shorts and T-Shirt, now your cold wet and dark trying to get people to train

We've managed to get an indoor facility big enough for decent ball work for the next few weeks & hopefully a outdoor 3G pitch from next week so things looking up until the clocks change. Like last summer this pre seasons a learning curve for us all.

Decent point for HFH against Haydock although we could have won the game.

Gave 2 intercept tries away, doesn't help.

Looking forward to our first derby next week against Simmies.

Got first game this Saturday at home to Ashton providing our old changing rooms are recommissioned in time!!! expect a tough game as they have improved over the past few years.

Hopefully Roose fulfill their fixture this weekend, think their at home to Clock Face.
