no problems if they were first team players or not, game played in good spirits, and totally enjoyed it (other than the scoreline) take a very very organised and disciplined team to beat you this year.



good luck for ur remaining games

Riversiders 28 Cultheth 40



Strange how things work....31 Lads training Wednesday, 26 Advised they where available, 13ads turn up on match day!



We decided to roll our sleeves up and play the game as Cultheth had travelled with 19. We played well considering we lost a player after 15 minutes with a dislocated shoulder. Very pleasing to go into half time 12-0 to the good, the 12 men factor took its toll after 65 minutes, we found ourselves down 30-28, and Cultheth finally figured out that we would have an overlap on each attack and ran in 2 try's near the end of the game.



Message to Bank Quay - We advised the league on Monday morning that we shall be post-poning this weekends game, we have a dozen lads with tickets for the play off semi final in Widnes.

Bolton Mets 16 - 20 Folly Lane



First time this season we've managed to get two teams out, the first had a few back as a 60 - 0 scorline indicates. So we managed to put a very new and inexperienced team out, but still job done!!!

How was they ave it? surprised at the low scoreline thought

It was very poor game to be honest mate, just knock on after knock on. The only good thing about the game was getting MOM

Must of been bad if you got mom

depends what the first 'm' stood for...

No need to be like that gentlemen

We've just had to call our game at Hindley A. Squad decimated by injuries and a few more out with work and holidays. They are obviously looking for a replacement fixture so get in touch with them if you are after a game.

Culcheth are free - we've also had to call ours. Never known anything like it - of a potential 35 players in the squad we've 25+ missing. Most are due to work (a problem that's grown every year), but also several long-term injuries, a few on holiday and other commitments like kids, weddings, etc.

too many cancelled games. not good all this.



seems that most games are cancelled by the away team, cos lads cant be d travelling for a game that has no meaning.

when at home lads turn up in numbers, when away lads arnt as commited.



this interim league is a bit annoying, doesnt give the team that didnt cancel the game any points , doesnt even have a league table. very unorganised and not impressed with it at all.



Not competetive at all, some lads/clubs just dont seem interested

To be fair the interim league was always going to be a grading season with no tables/points. I guess to some extent that lack of competition impacts on clubs/players desire to play.



It's also thrown up a few too many one sided games (which was always going to happen) and our inexperienced lads definitely found it tough playing Newton and Bamber Bridge consecutively.



Hopefully some of the summer clubs will commit from March to give a bit more of an even playing field.
