No hard feelings of the Mersey to Warwick Road though. We are pleased to wel- this afternoon for our last league come you all to Warwick Road fixture before the Christmas and this afternoon and hope to New Year break. The return “balance the books” on the field at game with BP means that the first least! Hopefully our hospitality half of the league programme is will be to your liking and matches complete. The match at BP ear- the offering you provide your lier in the season was “one that guests. Apart from the result this got away” in the closing minutes afternoon, we wish the best pos- of the game, and the hosts knew sible festive season! Views expressed in articles in this publication may not necessarily be the official opinion of Carlisle RFC Ltd REFEREE RESPECT ETC As always the match referee is very welcome at Carlisle. Without the referee we would not be able to enjoy the Game. The referee deserves respect at all times and there is no place for any form of abuse to be directed at the referee, either on or off the field. Players regularly make mistakes, and the match official is not perfect and he / she too will not always get it right. If the referee does make an error of judgement that should never the signal for abuse from a player, coach, official or a spectator. Remember that, in almost all cases the referee is a volunteer and provides a service to the game so that we can all enjoy it. People wanting to referee are in short supply, and one of the reasons given for the shortage of volunteers is, alleged abuse. PLEASE RESPECT THE REFEREE AT ALL TIMES. THE REFEREE The playing enclosure is out of bounds at all times except to those authorised to be there by the game regulations. Spectators are asked to remain behind the barriers (where they exist), and where pitches do not have a permanent barrier, you are requested to stand well back from IS AN the touch line. This will allow the touch judge to officiate without hindrance, and also reduce the probability of injury to any player or spectator in the event of a collision! INTEGRAL Whilst people are free to encourage their team it is expected that supporters will use moderate PART OF language so as not to intimidate or offend others. There have been instances, particularly at junior and youth games, where there has been encroachment on the field, or dubious verbal encouragement from parents. This is not a good example to set. Lads and lasses need the OUR freedom to express themselves on the field of play without any undue intimidation from the sidelines. GAME Carlisle RFC will not hesitate to take appropriate action where necessary, Have a great day, RESPECT PLEASE . 2 2 INSIDE THIS ISSUE Birkenhead Park 2 Mumblings 3 Tom Graham & Alex Neil defend the line at Kirkby Captain 4 MORT’S MUMBLINGS This afternoon brings to a close the first half of the league pro- gramme with all other teams now having been played. We move Youth 9 into the Christmas and New Year break with ample time to re- flect on what might have been! No despair though - at this time last year all were sat on the edge of a chair wondering how we were going to get away from the foot of the table. It took Gossip 12 some gritty determination and the lads, encouraged by the coaches ensured safety by picking up the required points, even iff the last day of the season was a little nail biting. We did our part, but relying on other outcomes is not a good scenario. Sponsors 30 Looking at the league this term, it is still impossible to make any predications about the probable final outcome. Any team can beat any other, and some of the so called “banker” results simply have not materialised. Ambition is one thing, but one or two TEAMSHEET 31 clubs who think they have a divine right to advancement have not had it all their own way, and in the final analysis they might just have to wait a little bit longer for the success they crave. Let’s not worry about others, do our own thing in a workmanlike fashion and we will finish in a more than respectable position. Respect Code 32 One thing is certain the final table will have changed look about it. Some simply don’t want to go up. Sad, but true.3 MR PRESIDENT CAPTAIN COMMENTS The turnaround point in the season, time to reflect! I have had a lot of people and comment on what a better start to the season we have had compared to last season, and about which I have never ques- tioned but could easily do so. There have been games along the way that as a team we have thrown away due to little errors, and it always easy to pick up on the negatives when reflecting back as a player, a team, coach, staff or a supporter, but the success and positives to come from the first half of the season have been unreal and promising. Firstly, beating Kendal to stop their unbeaten run was a huge highlight of the season and my rugby career. The big comeback away at New Brighton showed character and will to come out of that game as victors; and finally the most positive aspect of the sea- son so far , are the seven bonus points, whether that is a four pointer or a losing bonus point.

It has been in being for some time now but needed refining to reflect modern day needs and to deal with the problem that many clubs suffer - illegal and unwanted approaches to tempt players away on the promise of not insubstantial remuneration that is more than likely unaccounted for! Given that it is understood that there are no players in the north west at Level 6 and below, then there are still an awful ,lot of brown envelopes in circulation after matches on a Saturday.

  • Welcome to St Benedict's
    Welcome to St Benedict’s A very warm welcome to players, officials and spectators of St Benedict’s. This is one of many long away trips for the Cumbrian club, as their only short hop is to Kirkby Lonsdale - and that takes an hour! We made the trek up to Workongton in September and played a side which was continuing its success in the North Lancs and Cumbria Division by winning its first two games in North 1 West. They made it three by beating us. After dominating the opening exchanges, Warrington sudeenly found themselves behind when a speculative kick and a fortuitous bounce gave Benedict’s the lead after 20 minutes. Although Warrington replied with a converted 30 yard try from prop Elliot Johnstone, two Benedict’s penalties gave the home side a six point half time lead. The second half saw Benedict’s adopt a running, rather than a kicking, approach to their game and this allowed them to score a further twelve points without reply, although Warrington could take some comfort from the fact that they lost three key players through injury.. St Benedict’s was founded in 1974, a Rugby Union Club in what is still a hotbed of amateur and professional Rugby League. I am sure that many of us Warrington RL (and Wigan) supporters remember those trips to Workington and Whitehaven in the 50s, 60s and 70s. They were always hard games and we rarely won, playing against the likes of Frank Foster, Ike Southward and Dick Huddart on their own midden. We also have a further connection with the Cumbrian coast, as one of our more illustious Vets, Kevin Tamati, coached at Whitehaven for two years.

  • Welcome to Broughton Park a Very Warm Welcome to Players, Officials and Spectators of Broughton Park
    Welcome to Broughton Park A very warm welcome to players, officials and spectators of Broughton Park. It is over two years since we last met and we look forward to a game played in the usual competitive spirit which has always been associated with our clashes. Broughton Park is one of the oldest clubs in the country, having been formed in 1882, just eleven years after the founding of the RFU. Over the years, it has nurtured many international players and more recent stars have included, Tony Neary, Tony Bond and Kevin O’Brien. (I must con- fess that I actually turned out for Park in my dotage, when I played in the twos and threes with people such as Arthur Light, a past president, who was also a professional wrestler, and a Swiss international, Hans-Peter Endress, who was also managing director of the global instrumentation company, Endress & Hauser.) Games against Park have always been feisty and the result was often in favour of the home side, to the extent that we started to think of Hough End as our bogey ground. Our last four meetings show two wins for Park and two wins for Warrington. In season 2014/2015 Park notched up two good victories but in 2015/2016 we won both fixtures. In November 2015, we came back from being 19-13 down with just 12 minutes to go when Matt Connelly touched down under the posts and Darren Norman converted. The win in April 2016 was much easier and we won 34-8 and virtually condemned Park to demotion to South Lancs/Cheshire 1.

  • Northwich RUFC (Team of the Town)”
    Author: John Blower April 2016 All Proceeds to the RFU Injured Players Foundation The reader will hopefully appreciate the great time and effort put in by John Blower in the creation of this condensed history of the club. John has been closely associated with the senior side and readers are asked to forgive the omission of detailed history of our Junior and Mini sections and of course our successful Ladies and Girls sides. But most of all I hope that readers will donate generously to the RFU Injured Players Charity Foundation an organisation which has served John well and continues to do good work for those suffering unfortunate injuries in this sport which we love. Thank you. Edited by Warren Davies 1 Introduction This book is a condensed history of the club now known as Northwich Rugby Union Football Club written by our own John Blower. Northwich RUFC formerly known as Mid-Cheshire College RUFC (MCC) was established in 1964 as a casual team playing on an ad-hoc basis, the book traces its journey from a semi organised bunch of friends to the highly organised club outfit of today playing in level 6 in the RFU league system. The RFU Injured Players Foundation (IPF) is to benefit from the sales of this publication. The author John Blower is one of the IPF’s clients. John, a long serving player and club member of Northwich RUFC, suffered catastrophic spinal injuries playing in a 1st team league match against local rivals Warrington RUFC in 2003 and has since been assisted by the IPF.
