Ashton Bears A 16 - 16 Folly Lane A

Constant rain but having said that both teams contributed to a close encounter. Ashton went into an early 10 nil lead but Folly regrouped and pulled it back to draw level at the interval. The knock-on-athon continued into the second half and Ashton went ahead with 10 minutes to go. Folly once again hit back with a well worked score. A draw was probably a fair result with both teams giving the referee little to do except signal for head and feed!

Knock-on-athon, You can say that again!!

We (Folly) played some really dumb rugby and neither team played the conditions well so overall your probably right and a draw was a fair result.

Some good results today as i see good win for widnes .. turns out there gonna be a side to be recon with this year leigh east are a very good team and im sure they will bounce back. but for me the biggest shock of today was the short margin between blackbrook and chester . what iv bin told is the pitch was far to narrow for brook to put on there free flowing moves they are use to. its also a dissapointment rochdale had to give up there 100% record .. not really any clashes this weekend but i am looking forward to week after were brook go to simmises thats when the league starts to get shape. good luck to both teams !!

Chester 6 - 22 Blackbrook A

A great game of rugby league on a perfect dimensioned Chester University Rugby League pitch!

A very hard contest that was a battle of defence and some good rugby league. Blackbrook took the early league following a grubber kick that deflected kindly to a blackbrook player and he ran on to score under the sticks.

Chester hit back with a bizarre kick and follow through that was pounced on by the Chester Stand off following a shocking pass from the dummy half!

Blackbrook then scored after a wide play that caught the Chester defence napping, the kick was missed making the score 6-10 which it stayed for quite some time.

Blackbrook then ran away in the last 15 following a sin-binning for Blackbroo that Chester failed to capitalise on then the Chester Scrum half got 10 minutes and blackbrook scored 2 quick tries to make the score 6-22

Disappointed with some of our (East) defence on Saturday. We let in some really soft tries. That could be down to the fact that we're still finding our feet again after not playing since Feb and with some of our players graduating to the 1st and 2nd team squads, we're back in a "getting to know you" phase with some of our newer players. But fair play to West Bank - they are a well drilled side who kept on coming. The score could have been a lot closer if not for a couple of good tackles from WB to hold up over the line on two occasions and a penalty try.

As for Blackbrook, when they are at home, they are a different animal all together (especially when their 1st team are away in Barrow!) and that pitch is an absolute monster.

Some very tight games this week, who would have thought that we would have 2 draws in a week!!

Ashton Bears A 16 - 16 Folly Lane A
Blackpool Scorpions A 38 - 10 Fitton Hill
Chester 06 - 22 Blackbrook A
Culcheth 24 - 24 Accrington Panthers
Leigh East A 18 - 32 Widnes West Bank A
Little Hulton 18 - 0 Rochdale Cobras A

Gutted for Rochdale not able to raise a side hope that doesn't happen to often from now on in....West Bank looking like the side to beat and Blackbrook very strong in defence!

Surprise of the week for me is Culceth v Accy Panthers, will the Lancashire side struggle on their travels this season?

Didnt surprise me the culcheth score, they were a good side when we played em and we were not 20 points better than em like the result states and considering they had been thrown together that week they showed spirit.

As for us not getting a team together....we did get a side together but they played Hindley insted of our 1sts!!!!!!!!!!! god knows were our 1sts were!!?!?!?? But it was a good run out and some of the boys will of got alot out of it!!!!!

Spring View are looking for any teams with a free fixture(points given etc)who would like to play our 2nds in friendlies.Hopefully we can get numbers every week but as we are trying to get them started we cant make any promises week in week out.If anyone fancies this please feel free to PM me or go through our Sec..

even if your games called off short notice,we will try to accomodate.

BooBoo I didn't mean to offend I know how hard it can be to try and get 2 teams out week in and week out and I hope this is a one off for the Rochdale team!

Accrington Panthers v Halton Simms Cross A
Blackbrook A v Culcheth
Fitton Hill v Leigh East A
Folly Lane A v Blackpool Scorpions A
Irlam Hornets A v Little Hulton
Rochdale Cobras A v Ashton Bears A
Widnes West Bank A v Chester

Two games I can't call

I have to disagree with the Accrington V Simms Cross A result.......I am going for Simmies by 20

If any teams get their games cancelled at short notice we Spring View A would be willing to play contact Anita 07743414894, we should have been playing Hindley A tomorrow but they just rang and cancelled.
