Just got back from sunny Cumbria and have to say I didn't see that one coming regarding how comfortable we looked in controlling the game-certainly second half. Murrel and Johnstone were too hot to handle at half back and everybody put a shift on today. Game management was great using kicking game to good effect and defence was split by kick chase rather than poor tackling. Gutted for Robbo as he adds another dynamic to our attack when he is on the field-just a simple contact on the arm when he went to tackle-straight off. Also meant we had to play over an hour with one less interchange player -great effort. Pass from Tyrer to put Saxton in was quality. Been saying all season there will be teams taking points off each other that you wouldn't expect. At least we are heading toward top 5 now and well away from bottom 5! I could have sworn I heard the crowd announced as 751. Donny game looks like being massive now for both teams!

Good win today we started well and looked in control, they got a dodgy try and some how they were level, second half we got back on track and could have won by more, its good to beat Haven at their place after all those years of losing.

John , I will be in the 3 Pigeons for the Fax game on 13th Feb , mi mate Andy Gregory has said he is going to try to get to this game , and accompany me there .As for Fev , I think something is not right there , I could be wrong , this season will have plenty of great games , I don't take nowt for granted , at present Leigh are top and unbeaten , but its very early days yet , never count yer chickens .
