think we need a thread for results, banter etc,

SV 60-10 Rochdale Cobras

Chuffed with our first run out!

hey m8, well in....very organized team...not a bit dirty...apart for the score line we enjoyed it!!!!!

was our 1st run out after just one training session!! (you may of noticed)

plus missing our whole pack and wingers!! the old 2nd rower is our asstant coach!!! he did ok too.lol

not taking anything away from your win tho like i said very organized....you had some great talk in both attack and D...well played!!!! your 9, 1, and 13 are great players!!!

Its going to a month till we have our full side...fully expect to lose every game till then!!!!

Cheers pal, your right it was a good clean game. we were happy with what we did in attack considering we have been limited with skill sessions in pre season due to us not being able to get a decent sized flood lit pitch to train on, have basically done 3 sessions on a pitch of soccerdome size propotions, other than size we have been limited to conditioning and gym work. Our 13 & 1 are only recently returning after both being injured for the best part of 12 months, we missed them last summer. Was good to have 19 lads to select from yesterday with us having 2/3 lads missing through knocks and work. We should be better placed to compete early doors this summer....allot better then this time last year sending 13 men to Bold!

Fair dos to you men for keeping the game competative and clean despite you getting abit of a thumping towards the end, good luck, see you at your place!

Bold 20 - Folly Lane 30.

We started slowly and finished badly, came from 4-14 at half time to be leading 20-18 and then conceded twice in the final 5 minutes. Both teams were guilty of some sloppy handling and giving away penalties which I suppose can be expected in the early rounds. We have a lot of improving to do but fair play to Folly they played some really good rugby and scored some nice tries.

Ulverston 50-10 leyland

Good performance from a very young side! Lots of good things happening down the club got over 50 lads signed on this year! Should be a good game against spring view at there spot.

SV 22-10 Ulverston.

Tough game that could have gone either way, we simply got the momentum in the last 15 minutes. Credit to Ulverstons forwards who came at us all afternoon.

Hi all
Been ages since I've been on here!!
Mixed start for us(Latchford)
Good pre season with good numbers,strong side for opening game,great first 15 min then it all went wrong!! Credit to Chorley who soaked up early pressure and stuck to their game plan and fully deserved the win
Last Sat was our turn to stick to the game plan,nothing exciting against a big leyland side we just moved the ball around to try and tire them out
Bold at home this sat should be a good game like both if them were last season
Good luck to all teams this season!!

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)
