little hulton are playing hindley in the lanc cup

Ahhh right, thats an even bigger stuffing then.

The East 3rd team have probably not had the same 17 play in two consecutive weeks since we started! With lads moving up to the firsts and seconds, it's probably always going to be that way. But that is a good thing. This year we've been "blooding" some of the Under 17's and 18's into the delights of open age rugby (in fact, so have the 1st and 2nd team due to injuries and lads away on tours etc). But like you say, sometimes it clicks and sometimes it doesn't.

Looking forward to welcoming Chester to Ledgard Avenue on Saturday. Hopefully we'll be able to catch the last 30 minutes of the 1st v Bradford Dudley Hill match on the main pitch.

Looking forward to visiting Leigh East this weekend real highlight in the development of Rugby League in Chester to visit such a famous amateur club and we will have to be on top form to get any kind of result. We have a few lads missing from our normal first team due to injuries but still have a good strong squad available for us to choose from and it will be a good test for some of our new players.

Also hoping to catch some of their first team game!!

As for the other games I think Accrington will prove difficult to beat at home this season and will be a real test for the impressive Ashton.

I think Fitton Hill are improving each week and their experienced half backs could cause Culceth a few problems.

Irlam were poor against us but I think all sides are different at home and espiecially in a derby so that should be a fiesty affair. I wouldn't like to call as I haven't seen Folly lane but when I was younger they were always a strong team regardless of the first or second team!

I expect Rochdale to beat Blackpool so long as their first don't pinch all their squad!

West Bank are another impressive outfit very well drilled but again another derby so should be a cracking game

Ashton Bears A 26-4 Accrington Panthers.

A good game in which Ashton took a stanglehold of and didn't lose their grip. Accrington worked hard and caused Ashton some problems but ultimately Ashton were always in control. Another game plated in the right spirit despite some confusing decisions from the official, both sides will learn from the experience (probably best left as that!).

Irlam Hornets A 4 - 34 Folly Lane A

A game in which we totally dominated in all honestly, full credit to Irlam who never stopped trying though.

Some tough fixtures to call this week

Ashton Bears A v Blackbrook A - Tasty game both sides doing well with Ashton taking top spot last week as Blackbrook didn't play as they are at home I will give Ashton the win.

Blackpool Scorpions A v Chester - Interesting to see how we travel yet to get our first win on the road and Blackpool had a good win at Rochdale last week but I am thinking we may just shade it.

Culcheth v Leigh East A - If leigh east travel well they should be OK for the win in this game.

Folly Lane A v Accrington Panthers - Think Folly will have enough to see off a strong Accrington Side who seem to be like us (Chester) on the road!

Halton Simms Cross A v Fitton Hill - I think Fitton Hill will have to wait for another week for their first win

Little Hulton v Widnes West Bank A - following last weeks defeat I expect West Bank to bounce back with a convincing win on the road

Rochdale Cobras A v Irlam Hornets A - Once again so long as the first team don't pinch all the players I can see this being Rochdale's game to lose.

I'd agree with all them apart from Ashton and Blackbrook, I think Brook will beat them.

My Predictyions for this week !!

Ashton Bears A V Blackbrook A - Ashton Bears play on a wide pitch and thats benefitting Blackbrook. Blackbrook all the way.

Blackpool Scorpians A V Chester - Next to Blackbrook, I can see chester the team to beat. Doing Very well This year.

Culchet v Leigh East A - Culcheth just havent turned up this year, Leigh East have been Hit and miss But i expect a Leigh East Victory.

Folly Lane A V Accrington Panthers - Folly have produced some good resuklts this year as well as panthers. Tough one but i will go for Folly For the Win.

Halton Simms Cross A V Fitton Hill - Just nothing Seem to be going right so far for Fitton Hill. i think Simmies Will be Far To Strong For them.

Little Hulton V Widnes West Bank A - Little Hulton Just havent produced nothing special this year. WWB have had some good results, But after last weeks defeat they will be out to put things write.

Rochdale Cobras A V Irlam Hornets A - I expected High things for Rochdale at the beginning of the year but they just cant seem raise a team due to the First. but if they manage get a squad then easy win for Cobras.

Don't know where you've got that from, they've only lost half of their six games all season.

Theyve Won 1 . Drawn 2 and Lost 3. And there Sittin Fourth Bottom .. Look at the stats lad ... like i sed not turned up this year

Fourth from bottom on points difference with half the league, and have only lost 50% of their matches. For a team that was put together weeks before the league began they're on for a mid table finish.
