Eccleston Lions 30 - 18 Bury Broncos

We just didn't switch on. Eccleston started strong but couldn't break us down and Bury scored first, then it was tit-for-tat with Bury deservedly leading 10-12 at half time. First 15 mins of the second half we were awful, couldn't tackle, kept dropping the ball in our 20, giving penalties away, etc. A team as strong as Eccleston will always punish that and ran in 3 tries. Thought Eccleston were good, seemed to read our game and controlled the ruck area very well, ran hard and their defence was tight (though we didn't help by sending our forwards in one at a time!!). And they seem to be getting bigger!!!

Other results:
Bolton Mets 16 - 34 Wigan Bulldogs
Chorley Panthers 22 - 26 Wigan St Cuthbert's A
Newton Storm 6 - 24 Westhoughton Lions
St Helens Wild Boar 24 - 10 Rylands Sharks A
Widnes Tigers 14 - 12 Crosfields

Did you play Cronus?was a good game.both side's played some decent rugby at times.

No, still trying to get my knee fixed. Played against you last year at our place though.

Yeah was a good entertaining game and played in good spirit, you boys took control for longer periods than we did and did the what I was trying to tell our lot to do! God knows why, but they didn't listen.

Looking forward to the return! (might be fixed by then)

I wasnt training and couldnt make it Saturday, but im led to believe weve had a few players sign on of very high quality, with super league experience.

I'll believe it when i see it with my own eyes, tuesdays training should be interesting.... Looking forward to it.

I hope so mate, looking forward to it

Lol

I hope its true, but logically... why the foooook would they want to come to storm???

And what happens when they bugger back off again?

Is Boz coming back lol?

Week 3Bury Broncos vs Widnes Tigers
Crosfields A vs Chorley Panthers
Rylands Sharks A vs Wigan Bulldogs
St Helens Wild Boars vs Newton Storm
Westhoughton Lions vs Eccleston Lions
Wigan St Cuthbert's A vs Bolton Mets

Hard to call again this week, but I reckon nearly all home wins this week. Obviously I'm going for Bury against Widnes, Crosfields-Chorley looks to be yet another tight one: Chorley seem to have strengthened but I'm going with Crosfields simply with them being at home. Rylands-Bulldogs, also going with Rylands with them at home; think Wild Boars will have too much for Newton, Westhoughton-Eccleston could be tight with Westhoughton having a good win last week but think Eccleston will have too much power, and Bolton seem to have had a poor start while Cuthberts have started well.

Seems we're competing in another mini-league!!!!

Just noticed that Wild Boars have joined pitch-hero and currently, Hindley, followed by Chorley, are the two most viewed rugby league club sites on the whole pitch-hero network!
