It was exhilarating to watch and I am sure to play in, which after all is what we are 11 SANDBACH L Penrith P MACCLESFIELD 4 P Aldwinians 5 W trying to do".

A win by 23 points to 9 really did reflect the play and the effort that the whole team put 12 LIVERPOOL ST. H L Fylde L Lymm L ASHTON U LYME W in. The next 2 games, both away against teams at the bottom of the League and desperate for 19 BURNAGE W Stockport 3 L Marple L BROUGHTON PK 5 L 26 New Brighton L ROCHDALE W ACTON NOMADS W Hearon Moor L points, were in complete contrast. We still stuck to our high speed adventurous rugby but on both occasions the final pass either flew overhead, was dropped or somehow butchered. In all we MAR 5 Kirkby Lonsdale L LEIGH L OLE BEDIANS W Village Spartans 1 W seemed to miss five or six relatively easy chances to score and had even two or three of them been 12 LEIGH Macclesfield 3 Whitchurch BROUGHTON 2 19 taken, would have given us easy wins and reflected the overall performance of the team. It is 26 Liverpool St. H FYLDE 3 Acton Nomads 1 HEATON MOOR 3 however easy to get down after these two set backs and it will be up to coaches Giles Hegarty and APR 2 Steve Swindells and captain Mike Clifford to lift the side for this important fixture. We will surely 9 NEW BRIGHTON Rochdale DIDSBURY TH 3 ASHTON U LYNE 3 have to play at our best to come away with the points today and to consolidate our League position 16 Northwich SANDBACH Northwich OLDHAM 23 of 6th. With Kirkby Lonsdale, New Brighton and our visitors Leigh all winning last weekend, the relegation end of the league is not just as cut and dried as it looked a couple of weeks ago and we could do with the points coming from a win to ensure we don’t suddenly find ourselves drawn into a Senior Colts (U19s) bottom of the table scrap.

Only Ben Day and Bob Andy Duggan MacCallum survive from that Wilmslow side. Leigh players have on the other hand proved more durable with Ms. Forshaw, Dyson, Hampson, Crompton, Barton, Knapman, Bentham, Lee, Riley, Eccles and the Woods from the 2005 side still turning out this season.
