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.

OStA 0 HFH 70

Ref blew up 20 mins early. Hope we can keep this form up.

Latchford 40 spring view 18
Which was Probably the score and the penalty count as well!!!

Good result pal. What's happened to SV this year?

They weren't a bad side to be honest,the ref just seemed to dislike them!!
We must have had 20 penalties in the 2nd half and at one point they were down to 11 men due to dissent

St Judes 20 - Bold Miners 32

We find ourselves 6-10 points down early in a lot of games, but on Friday night we raced to a 16-0 lead in about 10 minutes, Judes came back at us and stuck at it for the full 80. The opening really was the difference, still things to work on and improve for us but 3 wins from 3 is a great start and hopefully we can continue.

Another unbeaten team for us this week Leigh Miners and we will be preparing for a hard game, we had some good games against them in NWC 1 and a cup game in 2010/11 season.

The Leyland result was a surprise, was the 24-0 against Latchford a forfeit the week before?

Yeah leyland couldn't raise a side against us which they'd a strange as they have win every other game!!
Was a good win at st.judes for you as they are usually a tough team to beat at home
Shaping up to be a close league this season

Never played against Leyland or heard much about them, but giving the game to putting 50 on one of the early front runners seemed a big turnaround!!

I think it will be a very close league and can't see any 1 team running away with it.

From our initial games I can't see Spring View or Haresfinch being without points for long and think it's the kind of division where anyone can beat anyone on their day.

Struggling for numbers mate, travelled with 14 men again yesterday, i popped my ribs in the first ten minutes which left us with 13, the lad who came on for me was playing his first game of rugby league!

Trouble is we had a small squad to start of with and once you get lads working, and on stag dos etc etc aswell as the wigan v saints game kicking off at the same time we are gonna be struggling. We've been nowere near turning the side out that won the league last year...we have only lost one lad whos retired through injury, its just lads arent available on Saturdays at this time of year.

We could just do with 3/4 more regulars to fill the gaps when were short, but the thing is with local sides such as Pats, IRB, Judes, Cuthberts, Hindley & Riversiders turning 2 and some cases 3 teams out, then there arent many lads to pick from, we are relying on new lads that are brand new to the game.

Hopefully its as bad as its gonna get and things will start picking up. We play you men in midweek I think so we will see if we can turn a stronger side out.

I didnt see much of the game after I went off but im led to believe the referee was a disgrace.

To be honest I spoke to him just before the kick off and at the toss and he was an arogant git then aswell...I tried to tell him that we had glass and dog under our sticks he basically said "what do you want me to do about it!"....idiot.

Fair credit to your guys,they never took a backward step all game
Ref was unreal I've never seen a penalty count like it,no wonder yr guys were getting so wound up he was penalising you for absolutely anything
Could have been a much closer score on another day,it was only last 10 min when you were knackered that we scored a couple of tries

Seen Ste Worrall on tv before Albion. Fook me his highlights are getting worse.

Ha ha i'll tell him he nees them re-doing!!
z and his little joey too,lucky I had it on sky plus as missed the beginning,it was only when z put it on Facebook I knew about it and watched it
They'll get some stick for that ha
Pity bout result tho!!
