BARLA National Cup

Irlam 10-26 Ovenden

Nice to see Irlam running a National Conference side close, good advert for the division. Will be interesting to see how the rest of the season pans out, looks tight between the top 3 of Pilks, New Springs and Irlam.

24th January fixtures:

Blackburn Knights v New Springs Lions
Irlam v Haydock A
Newton v Crosfields
Shevington A v Eccleston
Widnes Tigers v St Helens Wild Boar
Wigan St Cuthbert's A v Pilks Recs A

24th January Results

Blackburn 24-22 New Springs
Irlam 10-22 Haydock A
Newton 16-26 Crosfields
Eccleston 14-6 Shevington A
Widnes Tigers 21-14 St Helens Wild Boar
Wigan St Cuthberts A 16-4 Pilks Recs A

Top 3 in the table all lost.

Haydock are right back into the mix now with a great win at Irlam, and four other teams can get into the promotion picture if they get a good run of results.

Note that Cuthies 1sts didnt have a game

Did they play all their first team?

I dont think all the 1sts played but it was certainly a very different team than the one i watched the week before against Wild Boars. I reckon about 8 1st teamers played. We still give them a run for ther money tho.

8 first teamers



you need to report them to the NWC if thats what you reckon, the ruling is only 4 allowed.

we are aware of this.
no point complaining, just get on with it....
it is annoying tho as we were unbeaten up until that game.
