With hindsight (a wonderful thing), Leyland shouldn't have tried to play the rescheduled Latchford game last weekend. Sufficient players had put their hands up but as the week progressed, players dropped off one by one until there wasn't a team available.

The Warriors are a very young side who like to play a fast and expansive game, 5 teenagers played on Friday. An old timer at IRB asked me where Leyland sign all their players from. He looked stunned when I told him they had almost all come through the juniors as he didn't know there was a club there! I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. . . .

Ha ha ha. Ste / Chesney here!!

Glad you saw my tv appearance on Sunday!! And i'l have you know that i havent had any highlights in months. Maybe i need to get them again though if I look that bad without them!

Looking forward to our game with you guys next month!

I'm sure it was only due to the camera angle!!
Can I get yr autograph please?

Good win again today 34 18 against IRB.

Good win for Bold too. Getting good this league.

It was a good win for us, Leigh Miners are a very well organised side.

Both teams made quite a lot of errors and there was a high penalty count 20-odd - 13 in our favour I think.

They had a lad in sin bin as well, we had a lot of possession and territory in the final quarter and got 2 tries to seal it.

We have still not put together a very good 80 minutes but have won each game with bursts of tries. We have periods in every game where we can't complete and give away strings of penalties which needs sorting out or eventually it will cost us a game.

I think the main difference yesterday was the fact Leigh did it more than us! To be fair though I would rather be in this position than thinking we are playing really well but still getting beat.

Scrappy win for HfH over Haresfinch 20 28

We produced probably our best team performance of the season on Saturday, beat Rochdale Mayfield 50-6 scoring 10 tries and only conceding very late on.

Looks like it only me and you and posting pal. Shame cos I know the other teams in our division like to post.

Leigh Miners 26-28 Leyland Warriors

A tough game in scorching conditions, we only had 14 men and no forwards on the bench, fair play to our lads a great effort even if we did almost lose it at the end!

That's a fine result to go there short of numbers in that heat, well done.

HFH - when we were in Division 1 the last 2 winter seasons I was always a bit jealous of the other divisions who had good threads with plenty of banter on here, maybe it will pick up as we really get going.

Don't worry, it usually picks up as the season progresses.

Good work fellas. Already got more posters

Hopefully we'll get more on so this thread can get flowing!

Oldham away Saturday for us, rearranged from last week....hope they can raise a side.

Sorry not been posting as much as usual....been abit pre occupied with home stuff and a set if broken ribs thanx to one of Latchfords finest!

Oldham were very poor when they played us but at least they played it.
