With the start of the season looming I thought I would wish all teams good luck for the season. Should be an excellent division this year. We know a lot about some of the teams in Div 2 plus a couple of teams we haven't played for years. Can't wait.

Haresfinch 24 - Bold Miners 34

Both teams made a lot of errors and gave a lot of penalties away.

We are obviously made up to have won the first game and after a poor final NWC season where we came very close to folding before Christmas we are looking for a good season after getting some players back and attracting some new players.

Good news that pal. I heard you was close to going. Keep up the good work.

Hi all
Permission to join in please!!
I've been at Latchford for quite a few years now
Looking forward to this season should be a very competitive league where anyone can beat anyone on the day
Missed our game yesterday due to injury but a good victory with 15 men
Heard the pitch was a right mess though,played there a few week ago and was heavy then,was pretty much flooded yesterday!!

SV 14-24 IRB

Killed ourselves with errors & Pens....poor performance by us, quite simply must improve on Saturday.

Welcome Albion, hows my mate Ged doing??

Unlucky SV, did they have any first teamers in or just 2nds??

Not seen Ged for a while actually,he was good and well last time I saw him though
He pops down every now and again to watch but isn't involved on match days anymore,always welcome though nice guy

Let's just say they are a strong side compared to the rose bridge that played in NWC a couple of year back.

No excuses though mate, u can't put ball down, give pens and show the skill level we did Saturday and expect to beat anyone. We could and should have still won that game Saturday, our fitness levels are excellent....but our foot was shoddy!

Bold away Saturday.

HFH game is ON

HFH 30 Chorley 6

Bold 22-16 SV

We travelled to bold yesterday with 11 lads either working or on do's meaning we just managed to scrape a scratch 13.

22-10 at half time we won the second half having 3 trys disallowed.

Bold are a big physical side and have decent halves. They will have a good season.

Hoping that that was the worst in was goin to get in terms of lads having commitments over the summer, but based on yesterday we will be ok this year and will definitely compete.

Massive respect for the lads yesterday!

Spring View deserve a lot of credit for yesterday, to come with 13 and be running as strong and tackling as hard in minute 80 as you were at the start is really more than can be asked in that situation.

With 17 lads we would have been in trouble with the pressure we put ourselves under.

We seem to get into what should be winning positions then start playing panic rugby and giving stupid penalties away instead of settling into more basic play to try and kill the game off.

Good luck for the rest of the year Spring View and if yesterday is anything to go by it won't be long before you are picking up points and climbing the table.

Cheers mate....good, physical, clean game.....I enjoyed it (when ref werent pesterin me lol). Fair play u lads good set up with good bunch of lads. Good luck.
