Should be some great games in this division.

3 coach trips too



From a HFH point of view there are an awful lot of unknowns, having only played OSJ and SV recently.

I'll say at this point try to keep it all friendly, but i'm sure you all will



Spring View & Irlam for me are the ones to watch. Whichever of those two handles the Cumbria trips best to win the league.

just been training tonight our manager told us about what division and teams we are playing.if we can beat sv and hfh then we are in with a shout.can,t wait to get this final out of way then on to sv.

Orrell won't win a game again in that league.

Played in our first pre season friendly on Saturday just gone in the 'damian aspey memorial trophy' v wigan st cuths, at cuthberts, went down 26-20, and should have probably come away with the win.

2nd friendly tomorrow v another prem team Ashton....looking forward to it, both games should put us in good stead for our first game v Irlam.

See Higginshaw have requested they be moved down to division 3 and NWC have asked if any team from division 3 would like to move up. Not sure if any of the teams currently in that league would want to come into division 2 with the prospect of 2 trips to Cumbria.

its a shame the likes of springview and irlam r going to be playing most of the same teams again. looks like its going to be between irlam or spring who will win the league.

I wish we could have joined the league

SV 20-8 Irlam

Higginshaw 30 - 26 Hindpool

great effort from the Hindpool lads that travelled today, lots of regulars missing due to a wedding, work and illness so a great effort by the lads who stepped up.

Langworthy 16-16 Haresfinch, was a good game with both teams matching each other try for try, we had a very small team out today with a lot of the forwards missing but we played some good rugby and scored some good tries against a big haresfinch team and had the opportunities to win the game but conceded late on and a draw was a fair result in the end

HFH 22 OSJ 8

Orrell where a much better side than the team we played last year, to say they won't win a game is massively disrespectful if you ask me!

Heysham 14 - 16 Ulv
Good game in very wet conditions.. Good to start the season with an away win, especially at Heysham, tough place for anyone to travel to!

WE (HIGGINSHAW) only asked to be dropped down coz we av lost 7 players to st annes this year an we cant use our under 18 side coz their coach wont let us, at this time we r lucky to still be goin an we r gonna struggle to get players to travel, its gonna be hard for everyone to travel in this league. GOOD luck to everyone this weekend,

Are you even gonna try and travel though? Didnt sound like it last week. One of your players said straight after the game you wont be going to Irlam next week because you had some bother last year and then said you wont be coming to Hindpool in a few months either, real kick in the teeth for us after we were given permission to call the game off if you agreed which you didnt (fair enough). We travelled with 12 players missing and spent £400 on a bus only to be told that you wont be coming to us.

Maybe you would be better off dropping out the league and joining the summer merit league.

We r gonna travel to yours and irlam just sayin we r in a bad way this season, there r 9 teams in oldham so gettin players is really hard but we had 17 training last night so hopefully the season is looking up and we will be able to travel. to say u had 12 out ur team did really well

We would have taken that result on the way down but after the game we were gutted that we didnt get something from it. Hard work picking a team this week as we should have about 10 returning which is great for me cos it means I wont have to play.

Hindpool Vs Langworthy OFF

Langworthy cant raise a side having only 7 available players

Think this league needs a review

We have asked not to be awarded the points and play Langworthy at the end of the season so long as we can play them at home 1st. At the end of the day all we wanna do is play games not be awarded 18-0s
