Today, 1would like to wish Steve all the best in his new role and hope it all goes well for him, apart from today! I know only too well how hard it is to pick up the reins as head coach, especially midway through the season. Today is going to be another tough fixture for us. Once again Oldham are aside requir¬ ing all the points they can take to secure aposition in the top nine, and with ourselves still not safe with five games still to play, we really need to be winning our last two home games. It was great to see the boys bounce back from the Sheffield result with avery good win against aWhitehaven side that came to Batley for aresult. The boys showed a lot of character and self belief, afeeling that is spreading throughout our fans. Also the people of Batley are looking towards the next five games in anticipation and hopefully a good finale to the end of the season. Let’s hope we can go one step closer to that with a result against Oldham today Hope you enjoy the game and let’s get behind the boys; your vocal support is very important to them.

By Club Historian &. Programme Editor -Laurence Grailey.

After the disappointment of the Sheffield game, the next team in town were Whitehaven. It is so close between 3rd and 14th place in the NFP that it was imperative we beat the Cumbrian outfit in our search for atop 9finish, especially as the league have now confirmed that the NFP will be split into 2divisions of 10 for next season -and beat them we did!

The refereeing of Mr Morris as always left alot to be desired and the introduction of Paul Harrison early in the second half turned the game. Incidentally special mentions also to Joe Naidole, Andy Spink and David Rourke who continuously punished the big Whitehaven pack in the second half. Ihonestly believe that victory last Sunday has earned us atop 9spot -Keep it up lads!

Iwent on the Batley Bulldogs Website the other day and saw amessage titled ‘Australia calling’,! was amazed to find that it was an old mate of mine James McIntyre who remembered going to Batley games with me prior to emigrating to Australia back in 1977.1 was equally surprised to find that aresponse posted from ‘Healey Bulldog’ was in fact my niece, Ashleigh, who was asking him if he also knew my brother, Steve. It all proves that Batley fans remain Batley fans no matter what part of the world they may be situated in !

Moving onto the current stats position which shows the following

Goal Kicking -The current leading goal scorer is Dean Lawford with 60 successful attempts from 90 which represents a66% success rate, Paul Gleadhill with 9from 12 (75%), Craig Stevens 2from 3(67%), Chris Hough 9from 16 (56%) and Richard Gibson with one from 3(33%). Long term injury victims, Jez Dyson managed 14 from 20 (70%) and Craig Wright failed with both his attempts at goal.

Try scoring -The leading try scoring position is currently held by Glen Tomlinson who is on 19, closely followed by Craig Lingard on 18 and Danny Maun on 16. Paul Gleadhill who is currently injured is on 15.

Points scoring -Dean Lawford is the leading points scorer with 125 points.

Consecutive appearances -The longest run of consecutive appearances is now held by Danny Maun who stands on 24.

Penalty count -For the entire season now stands at 211 in Batley’s favour and 235 to our combined opponents. The Whitehaven game resulted in 2to Batley and 4to Whitehaven. (Obviously this does not include all the head high tackles that penalties were not awarded for as they were missed by Mr Morris).

Consecutive games scored in -Dean Lawford holds the longest consecutive scoring run having landed goals in each of the club’s last 6games. Incidentally Danny Maun has scored tries in four successive games.
