Ulv v Rochdale is off today. Apparently they have players & coaching staff with Ireland A.....................

Nearly right!
It’s just a mad weekend for us!!!!
This weekend we have a local cup final against Bury Broncos plus our coach is the coach of Ireland ‘A’ who also play Fiji UK a team i run with Tabua Cakacaka and the Ireland team are staying in my hotel in Rochdale. Some of our lads play for Fiji UK and one for Ireland....these lads haven’t played for us yet as their waiting for this game.

So as you can see it’s a bit mad and a trip to Ulv with 16 lads on a Saturday then ask the same 16 to play a cup final at 11:30am Sunday with no committee members would be a big ask!

Chorley 6-26 SV.

Good tough game, Chorley have a decent set of forwards, throught their 12 was excellent, by far their most dangerous player yesterday.

Ulverston beat Leigh east a 34-22

Tough game! Very good side will shock a few teams this year. We have Chorley this week anyone no what there like?

Any other results?

Leigh miners 40 Latchford 18

A bad 15 minutes before half time cost us any chance against a strong leigh side
Went from 10-6 down to 26-6 at half time

Second half was fairly even, good game played in a good spirit

20 Wigan St Judes A vs. Bold Miners 18
12 Leigh East A vs. Chorley Panthers 16
30 Ulverston vs. Thatto Heath Crusaders A 20
20 Latchford Albion vs. Wigan Spring View 32
It's gone very quiet on here there used to be some good banter over the last few seasons. What are your predictions?
Be a tough game for us this week looks like Thatto have been going well as of late and we haven't played for 4 weeks so will be a little rusty but think we will come good in the end

Predictions for this weekend:
Bold Miners vs. Chorley Panthers I Fancy Chorley here by 12

Leigh Miners Rangers A vs. Leigh East A I'll go with Miners for the home advantage.

Wigan St Judes A vs. Latchford Albion Surely a Judes win?

Wigan Spring View vs. Leyland Warriors Going to be a very tough one for us! Usually a good game but I fancy Spring view to win the league and we've had an awful start.

Heysham Atoms vs. Ulverston I'm going with a Ulverston win by 16.

Which players from the other clubs havve impressed you most?

Latchford...tall 6 good all rounder
Ulverston prop and both halves
Thatto`s big but thought all the team were well drilled
Chorley...tall 2nd row hits some really good lines

we`ve had a good start at SV but think a majority of the teams can beat anyone on their day,really close games against Thatto,Ulverston and both Chorley and Latchford will cause teams problems if their not on the ball....only can comment on the teams we`ve played this season but sure Atoms,Bold,Leyland n Judes will be very good sides and it makes for a very enjoyable Division(much better than the 24-0 that we have all put up with in previous years)

SV 54-8 Leyland.

All Credit to Leyland who's league position doesnt really do them justice. I think they may turn a few sides over this year if they are allowed to get a roll on, some decent strong runners of the ball. Let their heads drop a little when we got a roll on and played some decent stuff. Ulverston away next! Looking forward to that one!

SV 54 - 8 Leyland Warriors

Another tough game against Spring View. Although the score line looks very one sided I'm not sure it tells the true story of the game, with Spring View running away with it in the final 20mins. We started well and were more than a match in the first 20mins but then a few mistake ( Mainly by me lol) Put us on the back foot and I think swung the game.

However credit to Spring View the are a great tough side and play the game in the right spirit. I fancy them to go all the way this season! Hopefully we can get that first win soon and get a bit of a run going.

Heysham 18-18 ulverston

A battle for 80mins there will be sore bodies for a couple of days after this game! either side could have won it ... The ref was awful! Young lad didn't have a clue what was going on half the time!

SV next at home for us should be a cracker
