In answer to your question yes and i'm not sure where the second part of your comment originates from. The team is essentially a new team made up of new players and players from other summer based teams. Some have finished with their clubs and some have a couple of games left at their old clubs. As team Manager of the open age section I hav been left under no doubt that the Chair of the club from the very start said that if they are playing under the Thatto Heath Crusaders banner then they are expected to be run in the same manner as every other team at the club with a badged coach and first aider in place, paying subs in the same way as everyone else does (£10 per month by Standing Order or The full amount for the year up front). The fact that the NWCL are not recognising the Primary/Secondary registration system has hindered registrations slightly (and i'm led to believe that this system is in the process of being scraped).

Following a very stressful day for the Club Secretary this week running around sorting out transfers in time we're looking good to go for the game at Langworthy this afternoon.

Dalton v Blackpool Scorpions - Not sure took place?

Golborne Parkside v Eccles - postponed (suprise)

Higginshaw v Blackbrook - Higginshaw 14 -6

Irlam Hornets v Widnes Tigers - - Irlam 50'ish - 16?

Langworthy Reds v Thatto Heath - 18 - 14 Good match this

Leigh East v Widnes Moorfield - Leigh East walked it

Rylands v Albert Park - 20 - 54 or in that reigon,

Dalton played Glasson in the Cumbria Cup semi final

Big win for Higgy against a tough brook side looks a promising winter season Ayers Rock were did you find the league table please pal

Got it from Golborne Parkside website fella but altered it slightly as was one team out of place. not checked if it has been updated. Got this weeks results when our sec was emailed them. He read them out but i had had 6 by that time so may not be 100% accurate.

Any prediction for this weekend ???

irlam hornets v langworthy at salfords ground 2.30 ko sat 27th oct.should be good hard game local derby.

Went to watch this, Irlam won something like 56-4, at a stroll to be honest. Langworthy had a few decent runners but several very young lads playing, while Irlam had their usual complement of big, strong runners who made holes with ease and scored some excellent long-range tries. Was never a competition but Langworthy kept giving their all.



Tried to find some other results, looks like the NWC have no website any more?? That's just laughable.

Couldn't play today and gutted to miss this. We have had a few young lads playing all season and to be fair to them they are holding there own but some big teams in this winter league so it's always going to be a big learning curve for them.



The nwcoaarl has gone and they have moved it on to the [urlhttp://www.northwestrugbyleague.co.uk[/url site

Had a look for you today mate, wondered if you'd be playing. Like you say some big teams, and Irlam are certainly a big bunch.



Didn't realise they'd added the winter league on there, found it now!

It's quiet on here!



Went to watch Irlam 22 - 18 Golborne today, a few mates playing for Irlam. Superb game with 2 polar opposite teams - Irlam are a massive side with some powerful units down the middle whereas Golborne were smaller but for me marginally slicker with ball in hand. That said, both sides have plenty of power and skill.



Anyway it was a see-saw game with the lead exchanging hands a couple of times. Golborne took the lead but Irlam got a powerful roll-on just before and after half-time and put a few scores on the board, it was up to Golborne to get back into it, and they came VERY close - only some outstanding goal-line defence saw Irlam through. It was tense and tasty for the last 30 with plenty of niggle and banter but eventually Irlam's big lads began to make their mark with big hits taking their toll - a few Golborne lads didn't know where they were for a while!



Oh and one of Irlam's scores was simply outstanding - a fest of offloads, angled runs, etc before scoring in the corner. Great game, intense atmosphere, loved it!

i didnt get down to the game on saturday (golborne), but got told of few mates that is was a good game, keep getting asked get back down for them, need abit of size in there pack, always bin a small pack us, same with all the teams down at golborne we always seem be smallest team
