Round 7, 16th Oct:

Bury Broncos vs Wigan St Cuthbert's A
Eccleston Lions vs Widnes Tigers
Newton Storm vs Chorley Panthers
Rylands Sharks A vs Crosfields
St Helens Wild Boars vs Bolton Mets
Westhoughton Lions vs Wigan Bulldogs

I'm going for all home wins this weekend. I think Bury will give Cutherts a good game, and the rest should be too strong at home. I'm backing Newton for their first win if they can contain Chorley's big men, Eccleston should be too strong for Widnes, Westhoughton had a big win last week and should beat Bulldogs if they can carry on that form. Will Crosfields show??

If they can't travel that short distance to play, then i guess they'll not complete another fixture...

Rylands Sharks A vs Crosfields
St Helens Wild Boars vs Bolton Mets
Westhoughton Lions vs Wigan Bulldogs

Think Cuthberts will have enough to beat bury even though they have seemed to improved alot since last season. Eccleston should win, same for newton and rylands. Hopefully we can carry on our run and beat Bolton at home. Not sure about the last one but gone for wigan.

Gotta agree with Dime bar on the results, I dont normally go against Bolton but after the last 2 games against WB's think it will be a home win.

Also whats the league going to do with Crosfields must of thrown 3 by now

Our second team is allways looking for fixtures ,if crosfields give you the game PLEASE give anita a ring(07743414894) , we'll gladly come to your place, even if its short notice let us know cheers.
Were trying our hardest to get games and only maneged to get 2 upto now.

hitman 666 forgot to mention the team he is on about is spring view 2nd team

cheers guys

The Spring View avatar gave it away



Good to know though, looks like Crosfields might have gone bump so I guess you could pick up a few games...

Howcome they've not been entered in Div 6?

We had bout 25 regular lads pre season , not enough for 2 teams. with 6 or 7 lads being left out every week they would soon look elsewere so we sorted a friendly against ashton and asked a couple of old boys to come and have a game to make up the numbers, now were getting bout 35+ for the last 3 weeks but obviously its to late to entre a team in the league but we would drop in if offered a place, the boys are realy keen to play every week.

awesome stuff, hope it all goes well for you and hope to see you in full competetion next year. one question though, were is spring view? home ground?

Bury 8 - 34 Wigan Cuthberts

The scoreline does not tell the story. Bury were all over Cuthberts in the first half and went into the break with a well deserved 8-4 lead. We were running well, hands were good, defensively were on top and to be honest at the turnaround Cuthberts weren't in the game at all. They came out much better in the second half, ran much better and threw the ball around more. We battled well for another 30 minutes but a shedload of injuries took their toll with 2 going straight to hospital, 2 off with concussion, 5 walking wounded on the pitch and half the team playing out of position and a couple of rookies thrown on. Finished the game with 8 fit players. Really disappointed - feel sure we'd have gone on to win without so much bad luck. Our boys are shattered.

Also a bit unhappy with a cheapshot one of the Wigan lads put in. Swung a punch at one of our lads from behind and caught him in the eye. He's now at Manchester Eye Hospital and it looks pretty bad. I know these things happen but a needless cheapshot could have very serious consequences.

Newton Storm 32-12 Chorley Panthers

our first win and thorougly deserved it. dont think we had one bad player on the park this week, everyone put in a performance. some great individual tries scored and played in great spirits.

our training is definatly paying off now, dont see why we cant continue it into the next game either.
