Conference Leagues and fixtures. Editor March 12 Rochdale The Artisan League N1W Forecasts Sponsored by The Artisan Meat Company The previous week was very strange. Super Ted was the highest scorer with 6 correct predictions. Burnage v Leigh threw most people and the games at Kirkby Lonsdale, St Benedicts and West Park divided opinion. Draichgoch still leads the way but 4 people are within 9 points.

This week, 13 people have gone for the same results. If it's HAAHHAH then it's quids in. Everyone has gone for wins by Blackburn , Kirkby Lonsdale, Birkenhead Park and of course Wilmslow.

According to the predictions, the games at Warrington and Rochdale are the only two that are in doubt.

Without them we just would not be here. What they said at Kirkby Lonsdale Fine and dry at Underley Park for this one but unavailability's saw David Cooper-Dunn captaining the side from the second row and following a couple of run outs from the bench Senior Colt Harry Huddleston started in the number nine shirt. Scotty Boyd stepped up from the second XV to number six. Referee Carl Hall of the Durham Society controlled a good game whilst allowing it to flow. If you had to watch this game every Saturday you’d have a lot of good days .because it was a cracker.

Wilmslow had moved up to third in the table with a good run of form and they brought it with them. Kicking off towards the town the visitors attacked Kirkby who held the initial surge and gained possession, full back Ryan Terry put in a weaving run down his right from twenty two to twenty two before he was hauled down. Wilmslow came up with the ball, spun it to their right and ran it back, they probably should have been tackled but they got through for the try to lead 0 – 5 with only a few minutes on the clock and they extended it to 0 – 8 when Kirkby were penalised at a scrum in front of their posts.

Wilmslow were not just bossing the early scrums they were stealing lineouts as well. Kirkby were finding it very difficult to get into the game and when they did have the ball uncharacteristic errors and some loose kicking handed it back. Some form did begin to emerge though and when they held a scrum from their put in around the Wilmslow twenty two Huddleston moved the ball down the line to his right, left wing Siya Alam had tracked the move and made the extra man jinking through at pace for Kirkby’s first try, converted by Terry to make it 7 – 8 at the end of the first quarter.

They could have taken the lead when a Wilmslow tackler was penalised for not rolling away but the kickable kick was missed. Wilmslow then hit back attacking the Kirkby line but were driven off their ball by the Kirkby forwards who seemed very unlucky to be penalised in this passage of play and the visitors tapped over the easy kick to lead 7 – 11 at half time, a half in which they had had the better of the exchanges.

It changed in the second half, Dave Barton put his restart kick deep into Wilmslow territory and their clearing kick handed Kirkby a good lineout position. Clean ball saw flanker Storey drivie and deliver an offload to Terry who powered over in the left corner for Kirkby’s second try which he converted from the touchline to put the home side into the lead at 14 – 11. Both sides attacked with flair when they had the ball and tackled like demons when they hadn’t, the handling, commitment and running angles from both sides winning the appreciation of the large crowd but it was Kirkby who were beginning to have the edge. This materialised in the third try, Terry’s second, after the forwards had battered the Wilmslow line, no conversion this time but there was a two score margin at 19 – 11.

What had looked like a difficult situation for Kirkby in a game they might have been happy to just somehow win had now turned into the search for the bonus point fourth try, they had to dig deep to get it but when it came it was an absolute gem. Wilmslow had the ball inside the Kirkby half and had put it through several phases as they advanced towards the Kirkby line but a turnover gave the home side possession. The ball was flipped to stand off Barton who dummied through the Wilmslow line and into open space, crossing the half way line the cover closed in but he timed a pass to flanker Storey who had run in support, he charged for the line but Wilmslow somehow got men there and put in a tackle only for Storey to slip the ball to centre Tom Pickthall running at pace and he flew in under the posts. A flowing move which covered most of the pitch, the conversion was a formality for Terry and things were looking good at 26 – 11 with around fifteen minutes to play.

But credit to Wilmslow, they refused to lie down and produced one of the moves of the game with a loop, a dummy run and a miss pass to create space and open up Kirkby to score a converted try to narrow the gap to 26 – 18, there were still five minutes on the clock but Kirkby were able to control and contain and that score remained at the final whistle. After the match Wilmslow were widely regarded as the best side to visit Kirkby this season and they were worth a point, but they didn’t get one, Kirkby remain top of the league and fortress Underley Park, although challenged, remains intact. Young master Huddleston acquitted himself very well in this testing fixture as did the rest of the backs but the result owes much to the strength and resilience of the forwards in the form of men like skipper David Cooper-Dunn, Dan Armistead, Tyran Fagan, Matt Hoyland, Stu Storey, Craig Galbraith, Scotty Boyd, Ross Towers, Dan Thompson and Leandro Kwiczor who picked up the man of the match trophy

Birkenhead Park were comfortable winners away at Eccles, running in in eight tries. .

There was a new centre partnership with Gaz Coy resuming after injury with debutant Ollie Wharton but Park were forced to reshuffle after only two minutes when flanker Luke Swan was forced off. The versatile Matt Walls, who started his career as a hooker, switched from wing to back row with Sam Tyrer joining the backs.

Park though were quickly into their stride and a break by scrum half Sam Chidley paved the way for a well taken try by Ollie Wharton. George Oakey kicked a penalty for Eccles but Park second row Paul Hellier was on hand to score the second try following a good break by Coy. Mid way through the half Oakey kicked a second home penalty but that proved to be the final score of the afternoon for Eccles as Park then dominated.

Coy stripped the ball from his opposite number and good handling put Sam Tyrer over for the third try. Adam Wellington, Tyrer and Walls all scored to make it 40-6 at the break. Park then went off the boil and scored only twicw more through “Beef” Wellington who beat five players in a storming run from his own half and finally from Sam Chidley. Simon Mason converted seven of the eight tries. Wolves Appearances and Point

December 2016 North 1 West 26th. November North 1 West Kirkby Lonsdale 26 – 18 Wilmslow Wilmslow 37 - 0 St. Benedicts Now’s the day and now’s the hour were probably the thoughts foremost in the minds of the Wolves as they took to the field Wilmslow had this game well won by the time the fog had descended to the extent that referee Elliott Lewis really had at Kirkby Lonsdale’s Underley Park. They knew they had to defy the odds if they were going to reduce the gap between no option but to end it with just under twenty minutes of normal time remaining. themselves and the runaway unbeaten league leaders.

If it had been a match between two professional sides, it would never have taken place. The Memorial Ground hadn’t Kirkby Lonsdale started with a perfect record of eleven wins out of eleven played and a fifth bonus point from all of them. In completely thawed after Friday’s hard overnight frost and St. Benedicts, as was their right, declined to play on it. The five home games thus far, they had handed out some severe beatings, having never scored less than 50 points in any pitches on the Jim Evison Field were then inspected, found to be perfectly playable and both sides agreed to play. particular game. Despite the absence of their talismanic scrum half Ben Walker, they were doubtless intent on inflicting Shortly after 2.00pm, the wintery sun was still shining brightly but within twenty minutes the mist descended to make similar treatment to Wilmslow. It didn’t go entirely to plan though as Wilmslow grabbed an eight point lead in the first five visibility from one side of the pitch to the other virtually impossible, never mind from one set of goal posts to the other. minutes and actually lead 11-7 at half time but when KL mounted a fifteen minute second half blitz to score three tries, it was Referee Lewis had done his homework, however, and explained that he would start the game if that was what the all over on the hour mark. A rout looked on the cards. That it didn’t take place was partly due to the obduracy of the Wolves players wanted but if he had to abandon it before 60 minutes were played, the score would be null and void and the defence and partly due to the home side resorting to kicking away possession instead of retaining the handling and running game would have to be replayed at another time. Sixty minutes or longer, the score would stand and the game game, which depending on your perspective, had caused all the trouble. deemed to have been completed. The players of both sides were still undeterred and the game went ahead on that

basis. On this showing, however, it’s hard to see any side in this league being equipped to halt this KL outfit. It possesses out and out pace on the wings, a running full back, centres with quick hands, the ability to put pace on to the ball and to create What actually happened was well nigh impossible to see clearly. Within twenty metres of the touchline, one could space. With Walker present, they have two play making half backs. In Walker’s absence, the debutant colt at No. 9 was make out what was going on but beyond that one had to rely on what the players seemed to be saying to each other given an armchair ride by his forwards. It’s not a particularly big pack and they didn’t dominate their Wolves opponents and to the occasional cheers of invisible spectators on the far side. Mostly all one could see were phantom like figures throughout but it is well drilled with good technique at the breakdown, in the scrum and in the lineout. This whole KL unit has appearing and disappearing in the foggy gloom. been several seasons in the making, it has grown and developed together and is probably an example of where its total sum is now greater than the sum of its individual parts. Eleven of the eighteen on duty had learnt the game at both the club and The Wolves local secondary school and some of the others had probably come through the club’s mini and junior section. scored after just

five minutes when Wilmslow were first off the mark, in the first minute turning over KL at the breakdown and releasing right wing Hone Karaka from a scrum, Bob on the open side. As usual, he made himself difficult to stop before offloading inside to centre Ethan Harding, who held off MacCallum gave the defence to score. Minutes later, KL were penalised at the breakdown and Bob MacCallum stepped up to make it 8-0 in an inside pass to less than five minutes. Hone Karaka

coming in off his For the rest of the first half, there wasn’t much to choose between the two sides but KL did look increasingly dangerous wing. He burst when they had possession, frequently making space for themselves and critically having the power to always cross the gain through a not very line. The Wolves defence was coping but it was stretched in the face of powerful thrusts from KL’s No. 10 Dave Barton and convincing the combined outside threat of Ms. Akrigg, Pickthall, Ralston, Terry and the speedster Alam, most of them already well defence and known to the Wolves players. The Wilmslow dyke was then breached after twenty minutes with a phase one play from the passed to centre base of a scrum, which ended up with left wing Alam breaking the line in mid Ethan Harding, field for KL’s opening score. The only other addition to the score in the first half who still had a bit was a second penalty from MacCallum. 11 – 7 at half time for the Wolves didn’t to do but look enough, when you took into account that KL would be playing the second nevertheless half towards the town end with the lie of the land in that direction. made the line.

Five minutes later Wilmslow were soon being bottled up in their own quarters but ironically, it was MacCallum landed from a turnover after they had patiently played themselves up to half way that a short range KL scored their second try. Winger Ralston powered down the right wing and penalty and this when the ball was recycled full back Ryan Terry made the extra man. Barton was followed by converted and KL now had the lead. Max Harvey and Tom Williams were close the Wolves turning to taking the ball at MacCallum’s well judged restart but instead KL got quick over St. Benedicts ball from the scrum and left winger Alam ran nearly the length of the field before at the breakdown being stopped. Back in their favourite town corner, the pressure was on and and launching an attack on the Styal wood side. The passing and running must have been pretty good because the Terry soon took a short pass for his second try. This time from the restart, KL’s move ended with the spectators on that side in good voice as Max Harvey, it transpired, touched down. We had to forwards were able to break away and with plenty of support off the ball, it went wait another ten minutes before MacCallum kicked his second penalty and then two minutes later, full back Ben Day to centre Tom Pickthall who went over under the posts for the fourth bonus point ran out of defence down that left hand touchline again before the final pass went to Harvey for his second try.

It had been a bad ten minutes for the Wolves but to their credit they dug in wasn’t finished as he collected a speculative kick ahead by the visitors to run up the left side again, this time setting up and there was plenty of digging to do in the following minutes. May be the a scoring position for Harding to get his second try. It was 30 – 0 at half time. home side felt that the game was now out of sight for their visitors so the

urgency of their play just seemed to become dissipated. The Wolves then lost their shape and rhythm a bit as St. Benedicts got into the game with a spirited revival and then The Wolves fielded any loose ball kicked to them, James Coulthurst suddenly emerged with the ball, sphinx like from the foggy shroud, before vanishing back into it as steadied, ran it back and were eventually rewarded late on he raced away all alone, totally invisible, for the Wolves fifth try. Later he explained that he’d made a sort of when full back Toby Rowe joined the line and crossed for interception on his own line, whatever that meant, and had then run the length of the pitch all alone. their second try. It made the game look a bit closer than it

To his been competitive for much of the eighty minutes and credit, he had handled an awkward situation extremely well. they’d taken the home side closer, much closer in fact,

St. Benedicts good naturedly had just come up against a side which had an extra gear accepted the outcome on a day when they had been short handed and were in a hurry anyway to get back to in its armoury, enabling it to play at a level for twenty Whitehaven for a social event. It was just a shame that they’d had to make a three hundred mile round trip to play in crucial minutes during which the Wolves had no answer. conditions which nobody could have predicted even half an hour earlier.

From the summit a descent is made in a north westerly direction, initially over large boulders and then a steep scree path to Llyn y Cwn. During this descent you will be able to see the ascent paths up Y Garn, either of which may be taken, though I prefer the right hand one known as the “Goat Track”. From Llyn y Cwn the ascent is some 800ft, about an hour. (This may be avoided by heading down the Devils Kitchen leading to Cwm Idwal if the reader feels the last ascent may be too much!)

From the summit of Y Garn head North to the top of the descent path (grid SH630/597). Initially the path drops steeply down scree with some exposure on the right but quickly turns into an easy path with paved steps in some sections. Great views may be had from this path of the , the Nant Ffrancon Pass and . The last stretch is over a grassy path that leads back down to the Ogwen Cottage.

91 Chapel Lane Wilmslow SK9 5JH formed in 1923, Kersal was our first fixture and, on that occasion, we lost 3-21. ALTRINCHAM KERSAL It only seems like a blink of an eyelid when we started the season down the road at Stelfox in early September with a none too convincing win by 21-20 and here we are now already starting the second half of the season. REHAU NATIONAL INSTALLER OF THE YEAR - 2015-16 As is the Wilmslow way, the Wolves were still pretty unprepared in early September and decidedly fortunate to win with a late Bob MacCallum penalty. The Wolves had started by losing control of an early scrum allowing AK’s scrum half Calum Yates to snaffle the ball and set up a position for winger Wise to score after just three minutes. After that they’d been in the box seat for the best part of fifty minutes and were looking decent value for 18-10, courtesy of tries from Sam Cutts and Richard Hughes. In reply Wise had scored his second just before half time taking a pass from Yates.

Following Hughes’ try AK had taken charge. They pulled seven points back when Tom Bull goy yellow carded and then briefly went in front from a penalty. It looked like their game until they were penalised in their own twenty two for an offence at the breakdown and paid the price. Both sides then had their chances in the final five minutes or so but the Wolves somehow avoided conceding either a penalty or try and in fact got very close to adding to their score.

On the evidence of that day though, AK looked to be on the point of being at least a top half of the table side this season. RESIDENCE 9 UPVC They may still be but it’s something of a surprise that they should only have won four of their thirteen matches, also losing at home to Burnage and St. Benedicts.

Last time out they recorded their only away win of the season so far, 15-6 at West Park, in what was described by West Park’s correspondent as an undistinguished error strewn game, AK, of course, saw it as a gritty and determined performance. Nathan Bailey’s first half try gave AK the lead but was cancelled out by two West Park penalties from Lee Rosney. Two late scores in the final quarter, a converted try from Paul Mallaband after a series of drives on the West Park line followed by a penalty with just two minutes left from jack Emerson saw AK home.

Wilmslow will be hoping that Kersal away wins don’t now become a habit. We shall see.
