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!

Whats everyones predictions for this week?

Orrell Vs Spring View
Irlam Vs Higginshaw
Ulverston Vs Halton Farnworth

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.
