England! Apart from a squad selection and 22 ROCHDALE Preston GH 3 Knutsford 2 MACCLESFIELD game management ( I like bringing this buzz phrase in every week now!!) that I could 29 Carlisle CARLISLE OSWESTRY 2 Crewe & Nantwich criticise heavily – has the Manager been promised a knighthood? The control and NOV 5 VALE OF LUNE Aldwinians Crewe & Nantwich BUXTON 2 12 Liverpool St. H BIRKENHEAD PK ACTON NOMADS 1 Acton Nomads 2 demeanour of the squad is terrible. Whilst I am sure other teams have problems (the 19 WIRRAL Wirral Northwich CONGLETON 2 26 French!) the social naivety of the players and the lack of control is really something to despair at! – I suppose it is a reflection of the state of the top of the rugby tree and I hope DEC 3 Wigton KENDAL TRAFFORD MV Lymm 10 NORTHWICH Rossendale Bowdon BOWDON it does not permeate too far down the trunk.

We have a good coaching team headed by FEB 4 SANDBACH Sandbach WINNINGON PK Giles and I am sure they are working with the squad to address this. 11 18 Rochdale PRESTON GH 3 KNUTSFORD 2 Macclesfield 25 So we welcome Aspatria today! I have good memories of a friendly welcome and entertainment at their ground and I hope they enjoy our hospitality after such a long MAR 3 CARLISLE Carlisle Oswestry 2 CREWE & N‘TWCH 10 Vale of Lune ALDWINIANS CREWE & NA’WICH Buxton 2 journey.

The club has been in existence for over a 100 31 Wirral WIRRAL NORTHWICH years - and had contributed many players to the old county system of Cumberland/ APR 7 Northumberland over the years - even having an England player – Tosh Holliday – in the 14 WIGTON Kendal Trafford MV LYMM 21 Broughton Pk TRAFFORD MV WHITCHURCH Stoockport 5 1920’s, who had the rare honour of playing for his country at both rugby codes. 28 The Wolves have played them 5 times – the first in 1987 – Losing three but winning the Junior Colts (U17s) last two meetings.
