Hindpool 36 - 14 Hilton Park

Feels good to be back playing after a 4 week break.

A pretty strong 1st half from us this week which saw us take an 18-0 lead into half time. Defence was solid and our try's were worked very well, could have probably scored a few more had we taken all the chances we created. Both our attack and defence were very close to where we want it to be, just up to us to work hard and tweak a few areas.

2nd half we took our foot off the pedal a bit, so to speak and were forcing a lot of ball and giving away a lot of penalties offering Hilton park good field position. At one point I'm sure we defended our line for 8-9 repeat sets. Not good enough or acceptable when we were cruising at the start. The pressure finally told and we couldn't hold them out. Fortunately we regrouped for long enough to score a couple of try's of our own to put the game to bed.

I would like to thank the lads from Hilton Park for travelling as they turned up with a depleted team and could have quite easily done what most teams did last season and not travel.

Who's actually taking part in the top 4 play off, is anybody really interested. We were really up for it but after having only 2 games in almost 2 months the hunger seems to have gone now.

no idea whats happening with the playoffs not heard any information on them we would take part if they happen,we have pats this week no idea what team we are going have we 10 lads missing from portico game on hols or working so going be a tough game for us

well that's it the end of a season yesterday games was a joke we where well and truly stiched up pats bring a totally different team from the week before there players laughing saying the 1st team had no game, its wrong and shouldn't be allowed no excuse with players missing we just didn't perform, game called of with 20 min 2 go as a 2nd pats player sent of in the 2nd half and another in the bin and 1 of ours sent off,the game wasn't even nasty, there players who got sent of the ref changed his report to a yellow on the team as the so called mens league chairmen who is a pats fan was sat in the refs room after with the team sheet, make your own mind up ,just cus there 1st have a big game in the final next week

Play offs down to start this week

Brig Vs Culcheth
Hindpool Vs Portico

Portico have already said they aren't taking part because of injuries and lads moving to winter teams so we are through to the final on the 12th October.
Would be surprised if Culcheth bother going to Bamber Bridge either. Watch Dalton Vs Golbourne on Saturday and seemed to be a lot of Culcheth lads playing in that.
Not even sure what our lads think to playing. It's been that long since we played that we haven't been training and I think most just accepted the season had fizzled out.

really
