Ulverston 22 Langworthy 14
Tough game with both sides giving there all, 4 sin bins and 2 sendings off
But I think we just about got the result we deserved to stay top of the league

Haresfinch 16-20 Hindpool

Must have been a great game for a neutral with neither side giving an inch and both probably thinking they deserved something.
Great set of lads to play against always a tough game, shame 1 player had to spoil it by biting. No place for that in the game its tough enough as it is.

SV 18-0 Higginshaw.....we were given the game at 12.45, strongest squad we have had available all year aswell, to say the lads were disappointed is an understatement, and with the ref half way up the m6 comin from leicester, all round its a real poor show.

As said this was a cracking game of rugby. Fair play to hindpool there defence was awesome & was more than a match for our pack. Felt we dominated possession & territory 1st half but couldn't convert that pressure into points. We thought we'd scored the game winning try with 4 minutes left but credit to hindpool they never gave in & scored a try with the last play of the game & made the conversion from the touch line.
With regards the alleged bite, the lad who's been accused of it is adamant he didn't do anything & knowing him he isn't a dirty player & would be completely out of character.

Call it alleged if you like but everyone including your own players knew what had happened and some of your own players told him what they thought of him. The pictures are enough to say this wasnt an accidental happening. The lad has clearly bit down on him with some force.

Halton Farnworth 16 - Irlam hornets 26
Very impressive win for Irlam, who went in to the game with 12 players out due to injury and work commitments, the 4 young lads played really well and impressed us all.
Irlam who had no forward power on the bench pulled together and kept hold of a valuable win.
special mentioning to chris sloan who played the full 80 at prop and never stopped working.
well done irlam on a very creditable performance

the league are a f**king joke sometimes

...we've been given hindpool away with only 6 days notice to pull a team together and sort out transport, add to that the fact we played ulverston away last weekend and a lot of the lads had to take time off work in the morning so they could play and this weekend was always down as a free week so most of the team have gone and got tickets for the 4nations final so theres at least 9 missing...looks very unlikely that we're going to have a team this week and we'll have to concede the game which is not what we want to do, we'll just have to see how many turn up for training tomorrow and see what sort of team we can pull together

Naughty that mate, us and irlam have no game this weekend aswell!! If u were gonna play anybody common sense says it should have been one of us, and replace that fixture with ur hindpool away!! That's NWC for u mate!!

well our coach asked the league on monday if there was any chance of changing the fixture to you guys away or irlam at home so at least the lads who work in the morning had chance to play and the lads who've got tickets have plenty of time to get over to leeds after the game, but as per usual we received no response and now a referee has been appointed and looks like we have to trek up to cumbria for the second week in a row or concede the game and face the concequences...also don't understand why the league have put free weeks in the fixture list if a game is going to be given to us, i'm sure every teams the same that most of the team plan something for that weekend only to find out a week before that we have now got a fixture, the league really do need to pull their heads out of the sand and try helping clubs rather than trying to shaft them all the time!!!

I can see why Langworthy are vexed about having to come up here 2 weeks running but what your saying isnt exactly true. This weeks fixtures were given out more than a week in advance and although the fixture list showed a free weekend it was stated on the email showing the cup draws that any team not involved in preliminary rounds of the cup would possibly have a game as this weekend would be used for backlog fixtures. It seemed pretty obvious we would be playing this week as you have already failed the fixture once but we asked not to be given the points as we would rather have the game.
