September 2015 North 1 West Wilmslow 30 – 47 Warrington A Bad Day For Wilmslow Wilmslow’s rugby players are still struggling to get their season into gear. They conceded seven tries at home to Warrington, as for long periods there just seemed a lack of intensity, passion and hardness about their play. Their scrum and lineout work was frequently untidy, they were pushed about at the breakdown and sorely missed the abrasive play of their captain, Mike Black, who only lasted a few minutes, and of the others, only the Kiwi, Vili Tuipulotu stood out. To add to their difficulties, they lost one of their most potent players, Lawrence James, to a serious knee injury after just ten minutes. The game had to be delayed for thirty minutes as James lay on the turf being treated by paramedics before being ambulanced to hospital. Sadly for him, a long period of recuperation will now follow. Warrington’s Steve Pilkington scored the first of his tries after less than a minute of play. The Wolves had taken the kick off and as they ran out of defence, they lost possession in the ruck. Throughout the game, the Warrington forwards were far more energetic in this department and more than once, they came away with the ball, when they shouldn’t have done. A long overhead pass to Pilkingon, alone on the left, was hotly debated as to whether it was forward or not but referee Snoddy was satisfied and that was all that mattered as Pilkingon took his chance. Within minutes a kick out of defence by Warrington was fielded by James and taken on by Legin Hotham, who was held on the line but from the ensuing ruck, quick ball enabled prop Robert Taylor to cross for a try, converted by Bob MacCallum. The game restarted, after the delay for James’ injury, with a scrum in which the Wilmslow forwards were shunted back and penalised. A tackle in midfield was badly missed and the ball floated out again to Pilkington, who scored his second. The Wolves then rallied until half time. MacCallum landed three penalty chances and then set up a try with a short inside pass to Sam Cutts, coming off his wing, and he released Harry Patch on the right wing for an easy run in. It was really the only piece of really creative play that the Wolves managed all afternoon. For the most part, their talented backs were well corralled by their Warrington counterparts. The defining moment came on the stroke of half time when prop Adam Taher was yellow carded for what looked like a reactive rather than deliberate high tackle. In the ten minutes after half time, whilst Taher was kicking his heels in the bin, the Warrington forwards manufactured a catch and drive try and then from open play tries from Matt Connelly and Nathan Beesley. Sides can be expected to concede one score when down to fourteen but three in rapid succession suggests something very wrong. The Wolves just couldn’t get anywhere near the ball nor exert any pressure during this period in which Andy Roberts’ kicking from No. 10 for Warrington was pin point accurate and his sides’ handling immaculate. When the Wolves did get back into the game, they had a mountain to climb. They just weren’t able to force any line breaks in the face of a resolute Warrington defence, indeed to find the power to cross the gain line.

  • Annual Report 2017 -2018
    LANCASHIRE COUNTY RUGBY FOOTBALL UNION ANNUAL REPORT 2017-18 THE SECRETARY’S OPENING REMARKS Firstly I have to thank the President, Steve Blackburn. Steve has done tremendous work over the year in travelling around clubs and representing the County. A truly approachable gentleman who has brought his own distinct sense of humour to the office. A lot of my Monday mornings have included a phone call from Steve starting with the phrase “I think I may have got away with it but……”. Needless to say the tales have me in stitches. As well as his Presidential duties he is an active member of the Disciplinary and Club & Community Committees which means he’s constantly on the go with his County missionary work. Steve has the huge support of his wife Val, who is also involved on the Mini & Junior committee. A couple entrenched in rugby and its administration, thank you both. To Rugby matters, Our Senior XV have reached the final and other reports in this booklet will cover how they got there, at the time of printing we are in the run up to the final at Twickenham against Hertfordshire whom we were runners up to in the final of the 2011-2012 season. Thanks to Mark Nelson, Steve Rigby, John Greenwood and all the backroom team, along with players who give up their time at the end of very busy seasons to support senior Rugby in Lancashire. Its an absolute joy to be involved in this side of County rugby and one which I look forward to each season.

  • Lancashire County Rugby Football Union Annual Report 2018-19
    LANCASHIRE COUNTY RUGBY FOOTBALL UNION ANNUAL REPORT 2018-19 THE SECRETARY’S OPENING REMARKS As ever my first job is to thank our President for the great work he has done this season. Dave Clarke has been unfailing in his club visits and is a true supporter of Rugby. He has been instrumental in the formation of the ADM Lancashire Leagues which has helped many of our clubs play more local matches. This has seen a number of players staying within the game. With the frequency of his more than daily telephone calls to discuss some issue in the game my children now do a very good impression of the Ginger Ninja from Wigan. Both Dave and myself are indebted to Mrs President, Anne. As well as being his secretary, Anne has deputised for me in meetings and acted as the minutes secretary in our general meetings. Thank you both. To Rugby, both our Senior Mens and Womens XVs failed to reach their finals which was not for want of trying, all our representative players should be thanks for the effort they put in to pulling on the Red & White hoops at the end of a long tiring club season. We will be back. Thanks to Mark Nelson, Steve Rigby, John Greenwood and all the backroom team who work hard to provide these opportunities. Our 20s team did make their day out in Twickenham where they went down to a very strong Yorkshire team, I’m sure we will be seeing more of these lads progressing through to our Senior XV and more success in County Rugby.
