Wednesday night though is mid week and in the past, 11 NORTHWICH W VALE OF LUNE L L Altrincham Kersal W we had regular Wednesday night games. I always remember a special atmosphere when we used to play under 18 Rochdale L floodlights. Hopefully most of our players will be available to play this evening before packing up tomorrow or Friday to go 25 Burnage W PRESTON GH 3 W BURNAGE HWO away for an Easter weekend. If my theory is correct then maybe we should aim in future to play this kind of fixture December 2 BLACKBURN W Rossendale L Hope Valley W midweek. 9 Manchester P Macclesfield 3 P LITTLEBOROUGH P 16 ALTRINCHAM KERSAL P Trafford MV W We narrowly lost to a resurgent Burnage on Saturday 29-33 showing great character in the final 20 minutes of the game to 23 nearly come back to win a game we should have won. Burnage looked the stronger side in the first half running everything 30 at us and scoring some good tries. They also scored two quick tries at the start of the second half to create a virtually January 6 Waterloo L Lymm L GLOSSOP L unassailable lead. However, the Wolves came back with some tenacious rugby scoring some great tries of their own to be 13 Douglas (IOM) L STOCKPORT W MANCHESTER W pipped at the post. 20 ST. BENEDICTS W Wirral L Dukinfield W 27 Stockport W VALE OF LUNE L STOCKPORT W Warrington have had some good results of late beating Waterloo 20-19, Rochdale 29-19 and St Benedicts 96-3 before February 3 VALE OF LUNE P Rochdale P Heaton Moor losing to Stockport last Saturday 38-28. Both teams will want a return to winning ways so I hope we enjoy a good game of 10 Manchester L rugby tonight. They are one of seven clubs within five points of second place in this year’s league. 17 Rochdale W Preston GH 3 L ASHTON ON MERSEY 24 ALTRINCHAM KERSAL L It’s extraordinary that there should be so many of us with so little between us. I suspect that whoever ends up in second place will have a hard time of it in Level 5 if they should win the play off, unless they recruit heavily during the summer. I March 3 WARRINGTON P Rossendale L North Manchester 10 Northwich W MACCLESFIELD L ALTRINCHAM KERSAL note that Birkenhead Park, who went up last season for the second time in three years are on the way down again and 17 that last season’s run away league winners Kirkby Lonsdale are no more than a second half of the table outfit. Last 24 BURNAGE L Burnage HWO season’s N1E winner Pocklington about which I know little have also had a miserable time of it. What does all this tell us 28 WARRINGTON about the standard one league higher. Assuming that Vale of Lune go up, let’s see how they get on. April 7 Blackburn Lymm HOPE VALLEY 14 MANCHESTER STOCKPORT Littleborough Back on the local front, it was sad that Burnage couldn’t raise a team to play against our Hawks (3rd XV) but it was good 21 Carlisle Wirral BROUGHTON PARK to see the Hawks supporting the 1st XV and battering the bar as if they had played a tough game! 28 Last Saturday there was a large crowd for the game bolstered by a number of our sponsors attending for lunch. Whilst our Chairman, Jon Hitch thanked the sponsors for their support, I would also like to add my personal thanks and say that there is always a warm welcome for them down at the club. Several of the sponsors assisted with the 200 Club draw and the Raging Bull Senior U18 Colts : League C Following the conclusion of winners were: September 3 Macclesfield W February 4 the Preliminary 10 WIDNES D 11 Crewe & Nantwich First Prize £400 - Martin Hill (from our sponsors TWP) 17 Blackburn W 18 FYLDE League season Second Prize £200 - Mrs C Stock 24 Kirkby Lonsdale HWO 25 Makos W during which Third Prize £100 - G Alwyn-Jones each team plays Runners up with £40 each Matt Egan, Don Campbell and M I Jones.

Despite losing the last 5 games we are still in 5th position in the league above Macclesfield, 10 Fylde W Winnington Park have a League Stockport, Rochdale and Preston so this will be a good one to win. 17 MAKOS W 24 Cup competition 31 and the Cheshire January 7 Colts Cup to 14 Blackburn W compete in. 21 WINNINGTON PARK W 28 Widnes W The Artisan League N1W Forecasts Everybody’s forecasts in by due date this week. Red Gauntlet by Sir Walter Scott out of Abbortsford, just outside Melrose in the Borders still has his snout in front but not by much. There’s still a month to go and anything could happen. The Melrose Sevens, the oldest and original tournament of the abbreviated game will this year be on 14th. April.
