Bolton for definite

lol, Bury at Westhoughton - both clubs had stag events last weekend. We've 19 available roughly even with a fair few missing and not enough turning up to train - it'll be on I hope.

You at Salford tonight Monkeytowner?

Re: NWC Div 5 2010/11 : Fri Feb 18, 2011 12:50 pm  

go on i will have a go at predictions why no ones bothered in a while;

Crosfields V St Helens Wild Boar
Eccleston Lions V Wigan Bulldogs
Newton Storm V Wigan St Cuthbert’s A
Rylands Sharks A V Chorley Panthers
Westhoughton Lions V Bury Broncos

obviosuly going for us for the win against crosfields, think bulldogs might sneak a win against eccelston pitch would probaly suit bulldogs more, think cuthberts and ryalnds will win but hope im proven wrong and reckon westhoughton might just pip the last one thats if the game is on.

I'll go with most of those except Westhoughton vs Bury, we've got several missing but reckon we've still enough to beat them.

Fair enough just gone for westhoughton why they are at home. we've got both Bury and Westhoughton to play this season so keep looking out to see if both teams are putting teams out or giving any fixtures away.

both clubs conceded last week because of stag events (in both cases, people involved in running as well as playing at the club). people plan weddings etc. long before seasons start and the rule allowing free weekends was only withdrawn at start of season...

Crosfields V St Helens Wild Boar be closer than some will expect

Eccleston Lions V Wigan Bulldogs (Away win, Look like Bulldogs have improved)

Newton Storm V Wigan St Cuthbert’s A (Not biased at all)

Rylands Sharks A V Chorley Panthers (Home Win)

Westhoughton Lions V Bury Broncos (Home advantage)

Re: NWC Div 5 2010/11 : Sat Feb 19, 2011 5:53 pm  

Westhoughton Lions 12 - 16 Bury Broncos

Ugly win in atrocious conditions - that pitch is verging on unplayable, boggy as hell, standing water, etc but at least it's a game!! Westhoughton struggled for numbers, think they had 14/15, and we had several key players missing (including spells with no half-backs at all today!). Penalties nearly killed us, ref was generally good, but started giving penalties when people called 'forward' or 'knock-on' - ffs, that's a gut reaction! Still, some of our players want a word with themselves. A few tasty moments and a few sin-binnings but all in all a decent if unspectacular and unattractive game and pleased with the win.

Eccy lions 18 bulldogs 16

A good hard game, with both teams throwing everything at each other. The game is hard enough, without us having poor referee's. Yes it did get a bit tasty at times, maybe a sin-bin or 2 was needed. But when a ref says "Im not going to get cards out, cos i cant be arsed doing the paper work" Oh dear, protect yourselfs lads. lol
