No, wrong one. From what I could hear & see the ref seemed to have loads of people in his ear from all round the pitch.

Little Hulton 12 - 33 Bury

Was 1 - 0 to Bury for a spell...

We laboured to a 36-22 win yesterday over New Springs who must have improved since their 72-0 loss to Orrell. NS will certainly win some more games this season.

Anyone know the score with Hindley A?

We're due to play Hindley on a weekend when they haven't a 1st team game. Having beaten certain sides last year easily only to play them again on the day their 1st team didn't play, and we then lost, we'll be interested in what's going on...should they simply drop out?

NCL website has Hindley down as being away at Crosfields. Not sure what's happening at Hindley but any club that's got enough players to run two teams would be daft not to use them to fulfill fixtures.

Not on 13th of July when we are due to play them it hasn't...

We have Hindley this week, free week next week then Latchford - who are rumpured to be having big issues with numbers. This could result in no game for 3 weeks for us which wouldn't be good news at this time of the season.

Well at least you'll be guaranteed a game then

I don't think the rules are applied as rigorously as the old NWC, certainly not down in div 4. In div 2 St Pats have only played 5 whereas everyone else is on 9 or 10 games so there's obviously some leniency being applied. Every club goes through it's barren patches and Hindley have been around a long time. We're down to play them this week so fingers crossed they can get a side out.

We drew at Bolton early in the season, biggish side, not the biggest of pitches that they played well. Des Drummond was coaching them and they looked to have the makings of a decent side. After match food was great - supplied by Dominos pizza.

Pats joined the league late after dropping out of division 1. That's why there are so far behind

New Springs have definetly improved so surprised me to see them concede. We have sorted a game with Burtonwood this week, then hopefully play Latchford then onto Westhoughton. We are starting to get our strongest 17 out regularly now, hoping for a few favours so Wigan, Orrell and Bury slip up!

My understanding of Hindley is that they run their first and 2nds separately, even training on different nights. The 2nds were awful the only time I saw them play earlier this year.

Ashton Bears A vs Hindley A off, Hindley conceded game & dropping to entry league 5. Not sure but I'd expect their games & points gained & conceded to be expunged.

I hope our A team don't now get them on that free weekend!
