Quote: crucrucrusaders "I was at Treorchy ready for the match Sunday.
Crusaders U-18's wanted it, the ref wanted it on, for some reason Leigh Miners didn't. There was rumour it was due to the injuries picked up the Thursday previously in the derby game but still weird considering the distance traveled. Then again if the games get wavered as it looks they might a team wins the league without playing it's main rivals which is no way to win it in my opinion.
I think the question should be more one of what happened to Leigh Miners Rangers?'"
You are wrong, the ref wanted it on but at another venue apparently another hour away at least. With no guarantee of that pitch even being playable. LMR were only informed of the waterlogged pitch 35 minutes proir to kick off, which in my opinion is poor organisation. Plus the coach/driver were booked to be back home for a certain time. Considering the distance already travelled by LMR, the days the lads, parents and coaches booked off work, the expence paid by all, and the raising of sponsership money for the hotel stay. I can assure you that LMR did want it. It was in no way connected to the Thursday game, LMR had only 1 player unavailable. But then again LMR did have to play two games in a week as they have done on several occasions this year to avoid a backlog of fixtures (as have Leigh East). Maybe a lesson that Celtic could learn from perhaps. It may have appeared that LMR didn't want it to you because of the way that they were acting, but if you watch them before, after or at anytime other than playing, you would realise that they are a group of very laid back young men. They are confident in there ability and therefore do not always appear to be th most 'switched-on' team.
So in answer to your question "what happened to Leigh Miners Rangers?"
They travelled to Wales for a game of rubgy but were denied there opportunity, through nobodys fault. That said it must have been a sweet feeling yesterday, 36-10.
