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?

We're due to play Hindley on a weekend when they haven't a 1st team game. Having beaten certain sides last year easily only to play them again on the day their 1st team didn't play, and we then lost, we'll be interested in what's going on...should they simply drop out?

NCL website has Hindley down as being away at Crosfields. Not sure what's happening at Hindley but any club that's got enough players to run two teams would be daft not to use them to fulfill fixtures.

Not on 13th of July when we are due to play them it hasn't...

We have Hindley this week, free week next week then Latchford - who are rumpured to be having big issues with numbers. This could result in no game for 3 weeks for us which wouldn't be good news at this time of the season.
