The season so far.........

 

The season started with a friendly away win at Sefton. The boys were up for this, after a very good pre-season. We had a good balance and shape to the side, and won this match by a convincing 10 tries to 1.

    This form continued into the season, with a win away at Leigh, by 11 tries to 0. These wins ensured the boys went into the festivals full of confidence. We were finalists in both Littleborough and Manchester Tournaments only to be defeated by a very strong Manchester side on both occasions.

    After the festivals we put the boys through some tough training sessions, and we regrouped to win our next five matches very comfortably. We then had our poorest performance of the season, losing at home to Vale of Lune,

    The only other match we have lost this season was away at Liverpool Collegiate, (with a sickness hit squad, losing by 2 tries to 1.) We had previously defeated Collegiate in the semi-final of the Manchester festival, winning by 3 tries to 0.

    We had a disappointing day at the Vale of Lune tournament, due largely to injuries and illness in the squad. This left us down to the 'bare bones.' We have recently gained some new players (all progressing well.)

    As we drew towards the end of the season, we hope to do well in the remaining tournaments at Rochdale and at Moseley.

    We would welcome any new players wishing to join the squad, and if anyone is interested, please contact Ian Beamish on 07836323078. We train on Prescot Road every Wednesday evening at 6.00 P.M.
