Ashton Bears A 10-8 Bury Broncos.
If I'm honest Cronus I thought Bury played better today than they have in the last 2 times we've played you. Having said that I think our pace and defence forced you into the one out stuff. Each to his own I suppose.
A much improved performance from us and although we weren't spectacular I thought we were always in control. Another decent game though between two evenly matched sides, think there's been 2 points between us over 3 games now.

Just heard from our lad & he's dislocated his right knee. Will only know about ligament damage when the swelling goes down.

Chester 8 Widnes Tigers 28

Travelled with 12 lads unavailable and still managed a solid win. 16-0 up at HT then hardly saw the egg in the second half and had to settle for breakaway tries to seal the game. Credit Chester and their pack for continuing to run all game.

Next up Ashton at home where we will certainly be looking to continue our recent good form, but will be without dipper who is off on his jollys!

Widnes Tigers 18 Ashton 0

Solid enough performance from us today. Always in control of the game and probably should have put Ashton away today. Their lads ran hard all day, conditions unfavourable for both sides so nice to get a clean sheet and jump above Ashtoj in the league!

Mancunians 12 : 52 Bury

Was an evening kick-off so result not yet on the league website.

Bury went 20 nil up, loss of concentration conceded 2 tries but 32 nil in 2nd half. Another lad in hospital though...injuries mounting at minute!!!

Quite an even game I thought, with both sides having tries disallowed. Tigers used their big lads well & were deserved winners. The small pitch & the refs interpretation of 10m prevented any hopes of open play though. A frustrating day for us but onwards & upwards.

Did you play MG?

No, coach.

As an aside, I heard off one of 4 of my lads who played for our 1sts yesterday & apparently their game was held up for 40 minutes for one of Haresfinches lads who had a neck injury. Hope it's not serious & he's fit & well soon enough.

Were you the one on the refs back from second 1 until he blew up on 76 mins?

No, wrong one. From what I could hear & see the ref seemed to have loads of people in his ear from all round the pitch.

Little Hulton 12 - 33 Bury

Was 1 - 0 to Bury for a spell...

We laboured to a 36-22 win yesterday over New Springs who must have improved since their 72-0 loss to Orrell. NS will certainly win some more games this season.

Anyone know the score with Hindley A?
