The man running Liverpool City used to run Ellesmere Port in the merit league but don't know how much crossover there is. The old Liverpool Buccaneers folded after that final against Accrington and Leyland Lions (who also split back up to the component clubs). The reason was they used to ship in winter players from St Helens but no longer could.

Any truth in the rumour of a Rylands return to summer?

hilton park 22- 20 bamber bridge very good game both sides knocking hell out of each other very fast team with some very good players i actually thought the ref said it was 22-20 to us and we bombed a great chance right at the end both teams are going get better both teams had players missing,22-14 at half time we nilled them 2nd half great game was shocked at how good it was for a pre season game thought both teams made very few mistakes and was a very good run out

SV 22-10 Ashton.

Top hit out in real poor conditions. Considering we had only had one ball session in our pre season so far, we were very happy with how we went. cheers to ashton who sent good numbers and a strong side.

bamber bridge 12 - walney central 24 really good game both teams played very well and if it wasnt for a crazy 5 min where we gave 2 trys away game would of been closer 2 forward passes cost us to trys very debatable tho,big squad 3 lads making there debuts hopefully will have a good year

Wild Boars 16 - 12 Hilton Park , was nice to get in a game before the season starts and obviously a win under the belt always helps. Game could of gone either way in the last 10 but our defence held strong.

our attack was a bit shakey in the opening mintues as expected with the lack of ball we have had in hand but we managed to rectify that as the game went on. certainlty would of been a few sore bodies yesterday/today
