yeah westbank thats pretty much the rules my friend from thatto heath told me that nwc states if they have more than 1 team and are struggling that the first team game takes priority,

me personally id rather just play any 17 lads who want a game win lose or draw the harder the better really i would rather play than see 18-0's flung about so i hope the game is on

Sounds like they like the idea of a piece of silverware. I'm fairly sure they can only play a maximum of 4 first-teamers in the 'A' team so I don't see why they should feel it necessary to warn you unless they're looking to select more than 4.

How can any club try and conceded the first team fixture and play the 'A' team game? Fingers crossed they'll field teams for both fixtures. Apart from anything they'll probably have a lot of p*ssed off 2nd teamers who've made it this far.

Anyway, good luck Wild Boars!

From what I hear there has been some form of fallout and the teams aren't as close as they were at the beginning of the season. With the 1st team already relegated it might make sense from their POV but league rules is the rules.

I thought pot hunting went out with the ark in NWC but as long as the players have played less than 6 1st team games they can play who evers signed on I suppose, thats why cubs have two sides so that they can support each other. Maybe not in this case though!

2 each, they were playing good until they realised the game was beyond them then they wanted to scrap instead. both our sin bins were retaliation to cheap shot punches being thrown.

we didnt defend to our best today but our attack was superb.

the pitch was like concrete, injured after their winger ankle tapped me when through on there line.

summer rugby will not be for Dipper!!

Rylands Sharks A 22 - 42 Crosfields - big win at a normally very strong Rylands - though neither 1st team had a game, wonder what the line-ups were like!?
Westhoughton Lions 12 - 34 Newton Storm - good win away from home.

Just Wigan Bulldogs vs Newton left I think!

Westhoughton Lions 12 - 34 Newton Storm - good win away from home.

Game re-arranged, Westhoughton travelled to us. still a good win though.
