yeah maybe at a higher level in our leagues but no higher than that imo.

New Springs 18-0 Cadishead

Walk over game, they called last night saying they weren't making the trip. They dusted us at their place and have been going well so a very strange one, disappointing aswell as we owed them one!

So a few of our lads went to the Eccles v Irlam game, apparently the result was Eccles 36-28 Irlam which is massive for us if true.

Any more results?

Pilks 'A' 35-12 Leyland Warriors

Gave us a decent game but the win was never in doubt really. Credit to Leyland for having 4 under 17s players as well, they all held there own. We just had too much for them all over the park really.

Full results:

Eccles & Salford 36 - 26 Irlam Hornets
Leigh Central Lions 18 - 0 Blackpool Stanley
New Springs Lions 18 - 0 Cadishead Rhinos
Pilkington Recs A 35 - 12 Leyland Warriors
Rochdale Mayfield 16 - 20 Bamber Bridge

Saturday 10th April fixtures:

Blackpool Stanley V Cadishead Rhinos
Higginshaw V Bamber Bridge
Irlam Hornets V Widnes Tigers

Eccles apparently played an ineligible player in their game wi irlam, so if found guilty the points go 2 irlam

irlam have been given the 2 points. new springs we r comin for use

Whens the game between us, do you know? We are only getting the fixtures week by week at the minute.

not to sure when that game is. but it should b a good game. the 2 best teams fighting it out for the league title

Pilks 28-16 New Springs

We were f****** awful today, only got going when the game was beyond us. Out-enthused from the start, terrible. Got it all to do now to win the league, should still be in our hands if we win all three because we've got Irlam to come but it depends on how well they've done today and how the points difference looks.

Well played Pilks, well-drilled set of lads there and they fully deserved it today, far better team on the day.

Very pleased with todays performance. We knew if our pack got on top of yours that we could do some damage. I thought our backs were really sharp as well. We look forward to playin New Springs, its one of our favorite fixtures which always serves up a good game.

I think Dave will be flogging u at training now tho.

points difference dosent count, coz teams can b given 18-0 wins. great win 4 pilks. nice 1 lads beatin them pie eating s. irlam for the league. by far the best team in the league

Your forwards were definitely better, especially in the second half. We had most of the territory in the first half, against the slope and with 12 men at one point, just poor execution cost us a lot of points and we conceded a couple of soft tries - great finish for the second try but defence was poor there (me ). No complaints about the second half though, just not good enough all over the park.

We're not too down about it, we've always had to beat Irlam but we have to win every game now (home to Bamber Bridge and Irlam, away at Leigh) to win the league.

How will we separate the teams should they finish on joint points then? Head to head record?

Head to head record is used to decide title/promotion/relegation issuses.

That's fine by us.

This weekend's results:

Blackpool Stanley 4-46 Cadishead Rhinos
