SECOND TO NONE St Annes 34 Salford Roosters 18

2nd March 2019 NCL

A resurgent Roosters side under a new head coach came to Higginshaw Road to banish the hiding they received there last season, and the ninety plus mauling they received on the reverse fixture later in the season.

With a loss at Gatehead last week, the Saints were out for their first win of the season, whilst the Roosters had a great opening win against .

Both teams started out trying to gauge each other for strengths and weaknesses, and it was the Saints who dominated the opening quarter, with Dom Bryan racing in a hatrick of tries in 30 minutes, Luke Skilling adding three conversions. Salford did have some great field position during that time, but some poor options and great defence kept the visitors at bay. On the stroke of half time the Roosters crossed under the posts through the young stand off after the Saints field to defuse a high kick to the left corner. Half time score 18-6.

It only took three minutes for the Roosters to score after the restart through the stand off once more under the posts, and then on 54 minutes, the centre broke through some flimsy defence to touch down. Both the conversion found the target leaving the score deadlocked 18 all.

The home side had to act fast, otherwise they would have been staring at another defeat. But three tries through the impressive John Deakin, Joe Hartley and an out- stretched Jaimie Dalloway plus 2 conversion rescued the Saints pride, and in turn, securing the win. Final score, Saints 34 Salford 18. President Chairman Paul Neville neil flanagan

I would like to extend a warm welcome to our visitors today, and NCL newbies, Batley Boys to Higginshaw Road and I hope they have had a pleasant journey down the M62.

Today should be a tight affair as both sides have had a similar start to the season. Since our last home encounter where we had a much needed win against Salford Roosters, a narrow loss at Leigh East and a tough draw up in Cumbria against Millom is the form we find ourselves in at present.

Hopefully the Saints can create a fortress at home, and start to improve our away form to start to climb the table.

It’s been a frustrating start for our Division One NWML side as they haven’t played any games of yet due to the weather and last minute cancellations, but hopefully they can get their 2019 campaign underway today against a strong St Cuthberts away from home. Both sides are on familiar terms, as in recent seasons they have faced each other in league games and cup finals, with Saints having the edge where it counts.

Good luck to everyone today, and enjoy your rugby.

Yours in Sport

“The Sponsors Cabin” as we call it was the brainwave of ex-player Paul Green, the initial idea was to purchase a portacabin for our match day sponsors, but one day as we sat in the office of JCM’s garage surrounded by hundreds of scrap waggon trailers, the idea was born to transform one of the waggon trailers into a sponsors bar.

The waggon trailer was purchased and work began. The driving force behind the work on the cabin was another ex-player Paul Garrett, who not only designed the layout of it but also completed the work with his trusted companion Paul Green.

The overall project was complete in approximately six months and the end product is situated behind the goal at the Shaw Road end. The club cannot thank enough the people who gave up their time to work on it and it just shows you don’t need a lot of money, just hard work and a lot of good lads!

9th March 2019 NCL

Saints opened up the scoring on 4 minutes, when hooker Callum Fletcher opened the Leigh defence from dummy half to cross the whitewash to score to give the Saints a deserved 4 nil lead. Moments later, the Saints should have been further ahead when John Deakin crossed the line, only for the official to rule the try out for a debatable forward pass. Leigh East responded quickly, and started to make high inroads into the Saints defence down their right hand side, and it yielded them two scores to take the lead at half time, 10 points to 4.

In the second half, the hosts extended their lead when another intercepted pass in the Saints half of the field saw the Leigh player charge to the line unopposed to slide over the line. Leigh East 14 Saints 4. Saints had to respond, and quick, and that they did when the ball was shipped across the field it saw winger, Jaimie Dalloway squeeze in at the corner. Leigh East 14 Saints 8.

A moment of hope was short lived when the Leigh winger raced in for his hatrick to end Saints hopes of a comeback. Leigh East 18 Saints 8. However, credit the Saints, they never gave up and scored a late try through the dancing Dom Bryan, who ghosted through the defence to score to create a grandstand finish. Leigh East 18 Saints 14 once Whitehead added the goal. However, it wasn’t to be and it was the team from Leigh that went away with the 2 points and the Saints looking at a performance that certainly should have given them the spoils.

16th March 2019 NCL

The Saints travelled to Millom in conditions that were far form ideal, but to credit Millom and the ground-staff, the pitch was absolutely in pristine condition, and both sides had only the wind and rain to contend with.

Millom opened the scoring with a try in the left hand corner after stretching the Saints defence out wide. The conversion missed, 4 nil the home side led at half time. The visitors had their chances in the first half, but couldn’t capitalise on their field possession by taking either wrong option, or by the defensive effort by the hosts.

The second half started, and the Saints got quickly into their groove with two very quick scores. The first through Joe Hartley as he gathered a neat chip by Whitehead to race over and score, and then minutes later Chris Yarwood bulldozed his way over for a score. Whitehead added the extras to take the Saints to a 12 to 4 lead. The visitors were unlucky not to extend the scores further when a great move saw Rob Charles take the the defence on and go over the line, only for it to be ruled out by the official. This gave the home side a kick up the rear, and then score two break away tries through fragile defence to tie the scores.

In the last minute, Millom missed the opportunity to win the game as a penalty in front of the posts drifted wide against a strong wind. A result in where a draw in normally acceptable away in Cumbria, but the lads wil be disappointed as Millom were there for the taking.
