President Wolves Captain Wilmslow 18 - 15 Bolton Wilmslow RUFC Nigel Day Mike Black Wilmslow enjoyed sufficient possession of the ball and territory to have won this game several times over. That they had to Kings Road Immediate Past President and Vice Captains settle for a meagre three point margin was more a testimony to the obdurate and tenacious defence put up by Bolton than to Wilmslow Hon. Club Chairman Ben Day and Bob MacCallum the Wolves own shortcomings. In the end two tries from the outstanding New Zealander Vili Tuipulotu and three kicks, two SK9 5PZ Jon Hitch Wolves Team Manager penalties and a conversion, from Lawrence James proved to be just enough. Hon. Secretary Mike Blackett

Rob Milner Bolton, battling to get out of the bottom three in the table, played as though this was their last stand. Their defence was Tel : 01625 522274 Vikings Captain organised and committed. Their forwards frequently counter rucked aggressively to disrupt ball on the Wilmslow side and if Hon. Treasurer Matt Pearson some of their play with hands in the ruck and tackle appeared illegal, it was generally to the satisfaction of the referee, pitchero.com/clubs/wilmslow Tony Kersh Vikings Team Manager Matthew Riley, and that’s what mattered. In open play, they kept a good defensive line and always got men across when the Bryn Lewis prolific Wolves backs tried to run. It must have been like running into a swarm. Even right at the end when Wolves winger Hawks Captain Harry Patch looked as though he had to score, Bolton got three men across to haul him down. They had their moments of Tom Sneesby good fortune too, when James seemed to be going clear midway through the second half but was unintentionally and unseen Hawks Team Manager by the referee tripped. With so much of the play in their half of the field, they didn’t get many chances to attack but they still James Senior managed two tries on the counter and briefly led for a few minutes in the second half.

Without line, Vili stretched over for what would prove to be the decisive score. There was still twenty minutes to play and most of them were conducted in or around the Bolton twenty two. Wolves scrum half Nick Barker got himself a yellow card for what them we just would he admitted afterwards was a bit of stupidity, probably born out of frustration. No matter, the Wolves continued to dominate not be here. but the Bolton defence was heroic and refused to budge. There was not much argument at the end that the better side had won but they had been forced to work extremely hard for it and there had always been the danger that a bit of carelessness could have let the visitors in. th Saturday 11th.

During this A fantastic win, enthused a jubilant Rick Jones back in the sanctuary of the Wilmslow clubhouse. If we played like that every period both sides had scored three tries and with Penrith just three points ahead at 20-17, it was still either side’s game. week, nobody would ever beat us, he added. A wee tad of an over statement but it summed up the euphoria of the moment. Critically, Adam Taher then got a Yellow Card and for the second time in the afternoon, Penrith made their numerical This six try demolition job of Crewe & Nantwich without reply was every bit as emphatic as the score line suggests. Jones superiority count with a fourth try to take them ten points clear. The wheels now started to fall off the Wilmslow chariot as picked out the half backs, Nick Barker and Ollie Wilkinson, as his men of the match, recognising the huge strides each of the home side seized control to run in three more tries in the last quarter of an hour and to thoroughly avenge their January them have made in their play during the season. In truth though, he could just as easily selected from a whole clutch of defeat at The Memorial Ground. others, whose progress from untried rookies to seasoned performers has been a feature of the Wolves season.

On this showing Penrith are clearly going to be a top of the table force next season and along with Kirkby Lonsdale probably Ironically, Crewe & Nantwich had arrived at this final marginally ahead of the Wolves in the Level 6 rankings, fourth in ranked in the first two Cumbrian club sides. They possess a young well coached side with plenty of skills and pace. They 1 West to Wilmslow’s fifth in North 1 West. Reports had it that their strength lay in a large powerful pack, which showed that when in possession many of their players had the strength and ability to cross the gain line. They had to be would be capable of strangling the life out of the Wolves. Man for man, they were most certainly bigger but only in their firmly tackled because otherwise they would just stay on their feet until forced to go to ground. Add to this their excellent driving play from the lineout were they able to cause the lighter Wolves forwards any regular inconvenience. Even when support play or running off the ball, call it what you will, and they frequently created options and space for themselves, even Wilmslow were twice yellow carded in the front row, they were unable to make the advantage in the set piece count, quite to though they were guilty at times of unforced handling errors. Only in the set piece scrum, did they appear to be under some the contrary in fact, and when they broke from both scrum and lineout, the Wolves’ marauders were in their faces to stifle pressure but not so much that they weren’t able to quickly clear the ball in usable fashion and even here they managed one them. They had their moments, of course, particularly for ten minutes or so at the start of the second half but not once did clean strike against the head. they make a clean line break. The sneaking feeling that the Northern League was overall stronger than its Midlands counterpart was reinforced by the difference in intensity that the two sides were able to play at. No doubt, this Crewe & For the Wolves, it eventually became a bridge too far. Disrupted by injuries and Yellow Cards, there was a constant change Nantwich side have the players who would learn to cope if they were exposed to it week in and week out but they looked shell of personnel in the last half hour as the management tried to effectively manage its diminishing resources. Alex Taylor had shocked long before the end of this match. to retire with a reoccurrence of his back problem, his brother had to have his wrist strapped and others just started to look jaded in the face of a constant barrage of Penrith runners.

Once the Wolves found that they were at the very least competitive in scrum and handling became unreliable and their attacks increasingly lineout, they started to take the initiative. sparse and desperate. They could neither retain sufficient possession to be in any sort of control nor keep their After 10 minutes, a Lawrence James penalty set up a lineout position close to the C & N line from where the Wolves worked occasional break outs going because simply there was one of their favourite moves to put Adam Hewitt in for their opening try. In the next five minutes C & N forward drives were insufficient support. All that happened was that the ball went twice disrupted and one of Wilkinson’s less convincing clearing kicks was some how misfielded to catch C & N offside in their loose and Penrith capitalised with some incisive breaks. own half. Difficult to do that. From the ensuing lineout a typical piece of Wolves back play stretched the defence on its right and when the ball was recycled, Mike Black timed his pass to James perfectly for the full back to cut inside for the second try The Wolves had got off to a good start, scoring within three under the posts. Try number three emerged after a typical bullocking run in midfield from prop Adam Taher opened up space minutes from a scrum on their own twenty two. A couple of for Ms Stobart and Day to release James once again. This time he and Ed Stobart were both stopped just short of the line but drives from the base of the scrum produced quick ball, a miss from the ruck, scrum half Barker burrowed over. move and Lawrence James intruding to take the pass for an eighty yard run to the line. Unfortunately, the Wolves Before half time two great opportunities were spurned when Sam Cutts just didn’t have the gas to go all the way and then Day carelessly got turned over at the restart, were caught offside frustratingly took his eyes off the ball just when he had a whole bevy of unmarked men outside him. C & N had a solitary and Penrith took the three points on offer. This was followed penalty chance just before the break which went wide of the posts. by the Wolves best sustained period of the game, which led to space once again being created on their left, this time The second half got underway with C & N having their best period of the game. The Wolves found themselves conceding a allowing Sam Cutts to make the line. Once again though, the bucketful of penalties for all the normal reasons and it was hardly a surprise when Robert Taylor got yellow carded for an Wolves were caught offside at the restart and only survived a offence on the floor. C & N couldn’t make anything of their man advantage and when the seven man Wolves scrum heaved Penrith catch and drive by their finger nails. They looked to them backwards at pace from a scrum five yards out, they got into a muddle and conceded a penalty. Wilmslow supporters have cleared their lines when a kick was fielded by the roared their approval as much for the Wolves defensive effort as for the restoration in their faith of the referee’s Penrith flyer, left wing, Darren Lee back on half way. With a impartiality. James banged the ball into touch down field and it seemed that C & N had shot their bolt. Taylor’s time in the bin bit of space it was like meat and drink for him as he surged up was hardly up when they were harassed into dropping the ball in midfield, conveniently for Barker to stick his hoof on it for a the middle of the field and set up a second phase which led to long chase. C & N’s full back failed to gather the loose ball cleanly, it was taken by the chasing pack and passed to Ian an easy score. The next twenty five minutes produced Culligan for try number four. scrappy play full of good intent from both sides. Matt Shufflebottom got a Yellow Card and whilst he was off the There was still the final quarter to play but there was only one side who was going to win it and everybody, players and field, the home side broke through some indecisive tackling to spectators alike, knew which one it was going to be. The Wolves now took one against the head for Black to break from the score their second try on the half hour. Before half time scrum before Wilkinson off loaded to though, both Harry Patch and Stobart had dangerous looking Jack Walmsley, making a short runs. Penrith got the ball back and kicked out of defence. As cameo, to score under the posts. It it bobbled about it looked as though James had knocked on but the referee didn’t see it that way and James’s kick to the was a shame that a few minutes later Penrith corner was allowed to stand. It was taken by Lee but he was caught decisively deep in his own half and as the ball Walmsley should find himself the went loose, it went to Taher, who restored the Wolves advantage with try number three. recipient of a Yellow Card. No matter, the fun continued. James decided on The Wolves started the second period brightly enough, they had a strong wind in their favour and it was thought that the option of taking a penalty pot at judiciously used it would help to keep Penrith penned back. To use it though, you had to first of all get possession of the goal for 32-0. C & N were by now ball and this dried up, mainly because Penrith were masters of retaining it. Their fourth try soon followed as they used their virtually bereft of ideas, any attempts one man advantage but it was not for another fifteen minutes, during which the Wolves had their chances, that they got their to break out were comfortably picked fifth try. off by the Wolves.

Last week saw a fair amount of business completed. Birkenhead Park tied up the league title by winning 33-22 at their near neighbours, New Brighton. In front of many of their own supporters, they raced into a twenty point lead by half time Flooring and Carpeting but at 33-0, they must have taken the foot of the peddle allowing NB a penalty and three tries. Perhaps after doing the business, they didn’t want to unduly hurt their neighbour’s pride, so both sides ended the game happily. Furniture Kirkby Lonsdale took the runners up spot by winning 36 - 12 at Carlisle. The week before they had won the crunch game against Kendal at Underley Park, scoring a try, a drop goal and two penalties. There was a crowd of 2300, certainly the biggest ever at KL and probably the biggest in this league as well. KL need a home win today to guarantee a play off at home against either Ilkley or Sheffield, whichever ends up as N1E runners up. Student Accommodation

Kendal won comfortably against Eccles to finish third. Eccles refused to go down without making a real fist of it. They deservedly got an all important fourth try bonus point. Against the wind they had held Kendal to 12 - 7 at half time. The Refurbishment Mint Bridge men, however, raised their game in the second half to build a 36 - 7 lead by the hour as Eccles suffered two Yellow Cards. Kendal then rang the changes and Eccles kept on scrapping away in the final quarter to get three tries. Kendal’s correspondent seemed to fancy them to stay up.

Penrith were confirmed in fourth place and Wilmslow still need two points from their last two matches to be certain of a fifth place finish.

At the bottom, New Brighton joined Wigton to become the second relegated side, leaving Bolton and Eccles, cheek by jowl, each on 41 points with eight wins and seventeen losses. No surprise though that Bolton should win comfortably at home against Wigton.

Today, both Bolton and Eccles have home fixtures against Penrith and Carlisle to finish their campaigns and everything still to play for. Expect the phones to be busy at both clubs as the drama unfolds. Eccles start with the advantage, having beaten Bolton home and away, having a marginally superior points difference and the easier looking fixture.

What a finale in National 3 North. Top of the league by just one point, Sandal visit their closest rivals Sale in a winner takes all contest. I’ll bet that one should pull in the crowds. At the bottom Burnage, Wirral and Lymm all finish well clear of Westoe, Morley and Beverley. Andy Vassell wishes the Wolves and all Wilmslow Altrincham Kersal ensured their return to this level by beating Manchester whilst their nearest rivals Liverpool St. Helens were losing at home to Winnington Park. They now have to prepare themselves for a play off at either Blackburn or Leigh, most likely Leigh, at Leigh. I don’t think we’d fancy a play off at Leigh and I don’t suppose LSH will RUFC teams a successful 2014/15 season. either.

So there you are, there will be renewed acquaintance next season with old friends, AK and two from LSH, Blackburn and Leigh. To balance the leagues, the organisers will then have to draft in either one or two clubs from either N1E or M1W. Will that mean visiting Rochdale again and what will the money be on Crewe & Nantwich joining this league from the Midlands if KL should go up.

Vale of Lune 34 -14 Warrington There was a large crowd for Vale’s last home game of the season. Lunch had been put on for all the club’s helpers and they were treated to six tries by an improving Vale side, which has put its long losing run firmly behind it. The veteran Bird scored after three minutes in his 350th. appearance since 1999, Ben Dorrington got the second from a quickly taken tap penalty, Charlie Proud to sponsor Adam Taher Lomas went in from another tap penalty, the fourth try came on the in the front row. half hour from Oli Carter and two more followed in the second half from Carter and the young winger Tom Crookall.

Had he not been, New Brighton would today be fighting for The Dirty Dozen League survival in the League; desperately needing a win against us today, whilst hoping that League N1W Forecasts either, or both, Eccles and Bolton would lose. As it is, the five points deducted earlier in the season have consigned them back into North 1 West with, at present, 33 points. Eccles and Sponsored by The Artisan Meat Company Bolton have 41 points, so it is crunch time for them both, as one of them will be relegated along with New Brighton and Wigton. The runners are now approaching the straight, they’re in the last furlong, one jump to clear and a run in.
