Awesome win for WB, well done to them. They have really kicked on in the 2nd half of last year and this season.

We, Woolston, play the winners of Judes and Clock next week in the cup. We know Judes but have no idea what Clock are like, obviously a very good team judging by their league record.

6 wins on the bounce now for us and we have moved into 2nd place. Good wins against Maries, Ince, Halton. Dalton, Orrell and Latchford. Having a settled side is paying dividends now and competition for places is awesome. Dont think anyone will catch West Bank though this year, they are proving to be a class act. Our poor start to the season hasnt helped us in that!

A week off this week and then a cup game next week but unfortunately looks (well we will) be missing quite a few for that one

West Bank are a top side with some of Widnes' best young players, I will leave my judgement about how good they actually are untill they play week in, week out in the Prem, dont get me wrong they are a strong side but we have to remember that they wont be in the Prem until they win Div 2, then get promoted from Div 1 next season, so we are waiting till 2012/13 season till they fulfil there own ambitions..........in my humble fifty odd year old opinion a few good Widnes Cup games and a few wins in the Lancs Cup does not make you invincible, but on the other hand I believe West Bank are the only team in the whole of the NWC with any go forward or potential, outside of the Premier League.

I await your responses

West bank 48-10 Dalton good game

Judes 12 - 25 woolston we did well to turn the game around was 6 nil down at half time

Craziest thing I've heard on here for a while!...wouldn't you agree West Bank?

Couldn't agree more

Agree with you cowies there are a lot of good teams out there now

Just to clear this up......I am not saying that West Bank are the only team any good, I am saying "Go Forward" ie, 2 good sides, a new purpose built ground and clubhouse, good recruitment etc.

I never meant to offend any of the other clubs out there but its clear that West Bank are too good for Div 2, but like I said, lets not get carried away because they still have to be promoted twice and then perform at the top level........or depending on what there committee decide they could apply for the National Conference as they have possibly the best setup in the NWC, they have numerous junior and youth teams that are are run very well, they have lots of volunteers to help out on matchdays whether its Saturday or Sunday and they have 2 good open age sides.

Hope this clears it up

heard west bank have recruited a few players from simmies, simmies downfall maybe, and a rise through the leagues from west bank?

they havent even entered the barla national cup, surely any aspirations of playing at a higher level youd expect a side to enter these competitions, to truly test themselves. dont get me wrong but the lancs cup is a second fiddle competition now that ncl teams only enter 2nd teams.

They did get a couple of lads from Simmies yes, but its a culmination of a lot of things that has been the problems for Simmies this year.......we will bonce back tho folks.

As for them not entering the National Cup, I think its so they can concentrate on promotion, I dont think they want to risk that by gettting a daft draw up in Hull, Cumbria or Yorkshire and getting injuries that could hinder this, the less games you have to play the less chance of injuries.
