Co-Operative Rugby League Conference National
Dewsbury Celtic 12-26 East Lancashire Lions

Looks like the first and not the last side to benefit from being able to rearrange matches when you can't raise a side

Co-Operative Rugby League Conference National

Warrington Wizards 0-32 Liverpool Buccaneers

Updated Table - [url=http://www.bramleybuffs.com/rlcn/table.phphere[/url

Do Wizards have players who can't do midweek due to work or something?

Either that or Liverpool can pull in allsorts of players for mid-week games hence wanting to re-arrange fixtures from weekends???

meow!!

Game arranged midweek at the request of Warrington Wizards to avoid Magic weekend.

11 of 17 backing up from Sunday against Bramley, work committments and squad rotation for the other 6.

Midweek had nothing to do with the scoreline. Respect must be given to the Buccaneers for an excellent performance and a thoroughly deserved win.

We are still very much understrength, but that is taking nothing away from Liverpool. We will get stronger over the coming weeks as more of our experienced players regain fitness.

The season is a marathon not a sprint and you just have to play your games whether you have a strong side out or not!!!

Yeah got to respect that, also the same can be said about Dewsbury Celtic and Featherstone Lions, they've put a team out every weak, even though it's probably not their strongest

I'm wondering what games Liverpool have looked to rearrange for midweek!!!!

In our history we have only ever played midweek on the request of other clubs - thus demonstrating our flexability to accomodate others. Warrington requested a midweek fixture which actually deprived us of 5 first team players - although we were still able to put out probably our best side.

We did negotiate with Gateshead a Bank Holiday Monday fixture as there is simply no other date to rearrange as there are no free weekends and it would be impossible for Liverpool to do midweek away at Gateshead. Hopefully we can still get that game on for that date - or an alternative Bank Holiday date.

Suggest you get some facts straight 4eva!!

I think all clubs try. We went to Carlisle with a much weaker side and got the result our efforts and talent deserved. We also travelled away to Celtic, Dewsbury and Gateshead last season with low numbers and played some very inexperienced players.

When you have 11 on a Thursday and are travelling away to Gateshead then that is a different matter - especially when you can't even guarantee the 11. (I am not defending the fact we only had 11 available - it was a day of embarassment for the club and one we are determined will not happen again).

2 players on seasonal debut - both regulars at the club who have just finished winter commitments to RL/RU. Both would of played today if not rearranged.
