on national cup weekends when teams arent involved and midweek games thats all i can think of.

Mid week games would be an absolute nightmare for us when you take in to consideration it takes on average four hours for either us or the away teams to travel to the games and bearing in mind the lads are either in college/university or work .

earlier in the season

And also the reason I have suggested a revised format if the competition is to continue

Cant answer the question on selection but on the other point of cancelling games I can honestly say the Crusaders did not cancel any games in fact due to injuries the head coach fought tooth and nail to get the GB boys released so that the games could go ahead but the GB selectors point blank refused. All the Crusaders boys want to do is play rugby and they would not worry about playing 2 games in 1 week, they are quite used to that coming from a union background.

Union yes , League , definatley not

Why not? These lads have played both codes and are all of the agreement that although league is a faster more open game, it is no more physical than union and the injuries sustained are basically the same.

LEIGH MINERS 44 V 6 WEST HULL I THINK IT FINISHED

ANY MORE RESULTS?

Great to see we have got a game this weekend against North London Stags.

Hope the lads are up for it after such a long lay off.
Interesting clash between Cumbria and Miners, should be hell of a game!

WEST CUMBRIA 6 V 23 LEIGH MINERS

GREAT RESULT UP IN CUMBRIA FOR THE MINERS!!!

North London Stags 6 Celtic 36.
Nice to see the lads back in action with a win.

A bit rusty after such a long lay off but hopefully they can push on from here.

Gateshead 18 Leigh East 26

LEIGH MINERS U18s 32 v 2 WEST CUMBRIA U18s

A VERY CLOSE 1ST HALF WE MINERS EDGING IT 4-2 AT THE BREAK, IN THE 2ND HALF MINERS STEPPED IT UP A GEAR TO RUN OUT COMFORTABLE 32-2 WINNERS TO OPEN AN 8 POINT LEAD AT THE TOP OF THE TABLE, NEXT WEEK THEY PLAY GOLBORNE AWAY IN THE NATIONAL CUP.
