Bold 20 - Folly Lane 30.

We started slowly and finished badly, came from 4-14 at half time to be leading 20-18 and then conceded twice in the final 5 minutes. Both teams were guilty of some sloppy handling and giving away penalties which I suppose can be expected in the early rounds. We have a lot of improving to do but fair play to Folly they played some really good rugby and scored some nice tries.

Bold Miners 22 - 34 Ulverston

Tough away win for the Ulvie this week. Great to be back to winning ways. Bold has always been a tough place to go so very satisfied with the 2 points. Folly lane losing at home was a bonus putting us in joint 2nd with Folly to play.

On a sour note, sh*t house tactics from 1 player including eye gouging and deliberate cannonballing below the knee is not welcome in the toughest sport in the world. Shame as the rest of the Bold lads were spot on and played the game in the right spirit.

Your not the first one to complain about that with Bold. Its F'in dangerous and can not only end a lads playing days but can also put them in a wheelchair. time to pack it in!!! If you can't tackle properly don't bother at all!

2 x 24-0 results this weekend out of 4 possible fixtures. Leigh East couldn't send a team to Ulverston as they has to backfill the 1st team fixture which needs to be re-arranged......2 seasons in and slowly becoming a joke again! Only 1 game of the 4 fixtures actually played.

Whilst we were one of the teams to throw the game this week, we had every intention of playing. We have a strong core of players within the team, however these are let down by a mix of selfish thoughtless individuals within our team who don't care.

Unfortunately with an injury hit squad we had to rely on these individuals for the game on Saturday which once again they let us down! When meeting up for the game on Saturday, we had 9 players turn up, with feeble excuses or no contact from the players who didn't turn up.

We apologise to Latchford for this situation, however we are not planning on throwing any more games this season and will strive to make sure we have a team for every game. Unfortunately we were let down this weekend by people we call our 'teammates'

East had to give up the game because there was alot of lads on one of the players stag do and they couldnt get the game rearranged and the lads that didnt go had to play for 1sts
