Quiet on here again!
Anyway, Woolston 42-24 Bury.
Actually pretty pleased with this result. Travelled with only 4 recognised forwards and 24 lads missing (about 10 missing from the 1st team) and gave a decent account of ourselves against a much, much bigger Woolston squad containing half the team that beat Irlam in the cup final a few months ago. And I was ill & shouldn't have played
A terrible first 5 mins saw us concede 2 quick tries but we picked our game up and I think we were only 6 behind at half time, my guess would be about 20-14 or something. Woolston kept rolling their big lads on and our undersized pack struggled, we conceded a few soft tries to kill ourselves off. After a bit of niggle they started throwing arms, fists & elbows but we didn't rise to it. The ref & touch judges were about 15, ref did his best but was intimidated a lot by the home team & crowd.
All in all, a decent game, enjoyed it, our lads did themselves proud.

I thought it was a good game yesterday at Woolston. There was always a danger of it becoming a bit of a runaway after those 2 tries before Bury had touched the ball but those 2 gifted tries brought Bury back into it and from there it was a great game. Late tries made it look like it was easy for Woolston but it wasn't.
Good luck for the rest of the season Cronus!

I think all the home teams will win apart from Bury. Nothing against Bury i just think Portico are the team to beat at the min

NEW PLAYERS WANTED
Leyland Warriors are looking to recruit more players at Open Age level. As some of our results show from earlier this season, we have some quality lads on board but just need more numbers.
Long story short, due to a combination of several players travelling on gap years, emigrating, working weekends, long term injuries and so on, we are struggling for numbers. Very frustrating, especially given as all of our junior teams are flourishing in the change of season.
If you are without a club, or looking for a change of scenery, PM me for more details.

You're not on your own pal! Our juniors are going great but open age is a blooming nightmare! We have a long list of names but trying to get the bodies is another matter!

Our downfall is two things really. Firstly a young team, several of whom are backpacking their way round Aus and a few more spending the whole summer in Napa! Second, no U18s team come through for 2 years. Fast forward 18 months and we'll be fine!

Finally had some players back, others were on their Saturday off work and put in a great performance.
Little Hulton 18 - 27 Bury Broncos
Blew them away in the first half, 20-0 at half time, probably our best performance in a few years. We said at half time we'd need to stay switched because the ref would try and bring them back into it and that's what happened. Their first try was in touch and he piggybacked them down the field several times on loads of petty penalties, inevitably leading to a couple more tries, but credit to our lads we held on and put in a great shift.
Finished with no fit subs and a few running on injuries, proud of the lads today and good to get back to winning ways.

Bury 68 - 18 Bolton
Belting performance! And with 4 first-choice forwards and a few first-choice backs missing. Played a perfect game against a bigger Bolton pack - moved the ball about and hit good lines through the gaps. Credit where it's due, Bolton have been struggling for numbers but they turned up and kept going (mind you, they always get numbers for the big derby ), but we were never in danger of losing. Some great running from a few lads today. Our biggest ever win and margin.

holding 2nd spot in league but whats happened last two weeks?
Culcheth have got first sorted, I'm guessing Portico will push on to take 2nd unless they've any lads who go back to winter clubs or Woolston come good again?
After that, going to be a battle. Lots of clubs in the mix. 2 points separating 5 clubs from 4th to 9th!

Thats a lot of (24 players) players missing mate, was it because of injuries?
