S T C A L N R N SA INGLEY S T C VIEW FROM A L N R N SA THE CHAIR INGLEY SATURDAY 24TH MARCH 2018 Welcome to the players, officials and supporters from Saddleworth for this afternoons NCL Division 2 game. Honours were even last time we played in 2016, Saddleworth winning at their place 42 – 22 and we got the points at home 16 – 10. The season has really had a shocking start weather wise for some clubs, this is only Saddleworths second game of the season and no doubt they will be hoping to get off the mark after a defeat at Askam two weeks ago. We have been more fortunate with no postponements but after our flier in the first game away at Leigh East we have come a bit unstuck with defeats at home to Dewsbury Moor and away last week at Wigan St Judes. We really should have had the points against Dewsbury but for a poor second half showing. No doubt the coaches have been working on things (given chance to train) and hopefully the optimism after that first win will return. Well done to the Alliance team in their victory in the 40/20 cup last week over Worth Village, 64 – 4. Unfortunately due to the weather, that cup competition has now been abandoned for the season. Saturday 31st March will be a memorial day for Phil Wartley. All sorts going on throughout, see advert for details further on in the programme. Rearranged date again for the cultural afternoon, Sunday 15th April, 4.00pm, a play produced by the Red Ladder Theatre Company, “Playing the Joker”.

Ltd H.B. Clark & Co. (Successors) Ltd. Registered in England Number 130435 Registered Office Address: Westgate Brewery, Wakefield, West Yorkshire, WF2 9SW S A VIEW FROM T C A L N R N SA THE SIDELINES INGLEY BY PHIL HODGSON I was able to watch live TV coverage of a Kingstone Press National Conference League game for the first time on Saturday and it’s a concept that, without question, has legs. The game between Lock Lane and Featherstone Lions was something special anyway, given the local rivalry between the two sides, but the fact that the match was played in snow added greatly to the atmosphere – for me, anyway – in what was a vivid reminder of days gone by. Most importantly, the all-round coverage was very good. Trevor Hunt – the Conference chairman as it happens – is a seasoned commentator, particularly on radio, and his well-honed expertise shone through. Hunt’s co-host, Mick Morgan, is a one-off, a very funny bloke who, at luncheons and dinners, has often left me feeling sorry for whichever comedian is unfortunate enough to be following him. Like Hunt, though, Morgie also knows Rugby League through and through and offered several pertinent points of the kind that seem obvious when made, but which had not necessarily occurred to anyone else. For example, when the Lions put in a flighted kick on the last tackle, Mick expressed bewilderment, insisting that both teams should focus on booting the ball along the ground, where anything could happen, especially if it got stuck in the snow. Correct, Morgy, but not something either team (or me, as it happens) appeared to have thought of. I didn’t see the game from the very start, but pitch-side contributions by Rugby AM co-founders Alex Simmons and Jamie Jones-Buchanan, together with guest Super League star Danny Brough, were informative and entertaining, while some nice cameo moments were provided by former Warrington star Paul Wood, who was despatched to obtain the observations of members of the very healthy crowd. The camera work and overall production was also very good, while Lock Lane deserve huge credit for getting the game on at all, and the Lions should be given massive plaudits for agreeing to a switch of venue when the Millpond proved to be unfit. Above all, the players, match officials and coaches warrant high praise for serving up a superb spectacle. I, and many others, have long maintained that amateur Rugby League offers action just as compelling as that in the professional game, including in Super League - maybe more so - and here was the evidence to back up such claims. The grassroots game, in fact, is superior, as a spectacle, to any other sport, certainly soccer, which at a low level is pretty much unwatchable in my opinion. I think Simmons, Jones-Buchanan, Hunt and Morgan are on to a collective winner, and I can see Saturday teatime viewing of games in the Kingstone Press National Conference League becoming essential viewing for folk way beyond the world of grassroots Rugby League. In fact I reckon the programme could become a huge cult favourite for sports fans throughout the land, indeed the world, if smartly marketed (or, even better, if news of it spreads by word of mouth). Next up, I believe, is today’s Division One game between York Acorn and Bradford Dudley Hill. My advice is, stay behind in the clubhouse, wherever you are, and don’t miss a single minute of the action (other, of course, than when you’re getting served at the bar).

Today, we welcome the players, supporters and officials from Wigan St Jude’s, for today’s Kingstone Press NCL Division Two Round Fifteen game. St Jude’s have beaten us twice already this season. In the Coral Challenge Cup First Round, we went down 15-14 back in January, then in the reverse league fixture in May, we lost 41-30. Their recent form has seen them rise to second in the table. Gavin Rodden is the stand-out player, with 6 man of the match awards and 16 tries, whilst Dan Fallon’s 44 goals and 1 try makes him top points scorer. Crosfields have dropped to 8th in the league, having won 6 and lost 7. Last time out, though, it was a tremendous victory at leaders Ince Rose Bridge, 6-25, with two brilliantly taken tries by Nathan Taylor. John Whittaker and Jack Reid also crossed the whitewash, with Jack adding 4 conversions and a drop goal, for a man of the match performance.

    WALES RUGBY LEAGUE REPRESENTATIVE WEEKEND SATURDAY 28 – SUNDAY 29 SEPTEMBER 2019 SPONSORED BY https://www.logic-freight.co.uk/ http://twt-logistics.com/index.php https://topmarkuniforms.co.uk/ https://www.moneysupermarket.com/ http://www.fibreandfurnaces.co.uk/ WHEELCHAIR RUGBY LEAGUE TRI-NATIONS Updates at http://bit.ly/2mVm3wN Updates at http://bit.ly/2lgFfop WHEELCHAIR RUGBY LEAGUE TRI NATIONS PREVIEW Wales open the event when they face the Scots on Saturday (1.15pm). The Welsh have won the last five encounters between the two sides, putting over a century of points on their Celtic rivals in each of their last two clashes. Straight after that game finishes, Wales must take to the court again to face England (3pm) knowing that not only have England won all of their matches against them, but have never lost against a match against a fellow British Isles nation. Wales come into the tournament in good form having won the Celtic Cup back in April, beating Scotland and Ireland and scoring a century of points in each game. England had two tough matches in France in June in a two matches series against their hosts, winning the first 31-25 before losing 50-46. A Welsh cap record could be broken on Saturday. Alan Caron, Wales Wheelchair heritage player #1, could become the country’s record test cap holder if he plays in both games. With 29 appearances before this weekend, he is set to overtake Ian Watson, Jordan James and Rhys Williams, all of whom have made 30 test appearances for the Wales men’s side.
