Less than a month away now...



So, who's on here from that division?

Ashton Bears A are here!









Looking forward to it. We're starting to see some of the long term injuries clearing up and familiar faces getting back at training so hopefully I'll get my lads back from the 1st team in time for the start.

Woolston A are here!

I think our numbers have been good (as Cronus will testify, i'm not always there with us now having juniors too) but looking forward to a good year...

Crosfields A, reporting in

Chester here also

Little Hulton Reds on here too. Looking forward to the new season.

Should be some good hard games.

Who do you think will go up?

How many can go up?

and who you think are going to struggle?

nothing at all sinister just that often second teams can vary a lot in terms of quality. some v good, some v young, some made up of old heads and some who are maybe dragged together each week etc. All the passage says is we do not know what type Ashton A will be like as we have never played them.

Don't take it personally!



Expecting the unexpected is par for the course where 'A' teams are concerned. A mixture of youngsters, old heads, First-teamers coming back from injury or not selected for the Firsts that week, lads not quite good enough for the Firsts, and lads dragged in to make up the numbers (I'm guessing that's what mmp means by 'irregulars').

And of course we all know some teams like to chuck a load of ringers in if they're short or select their First Team if they don't have a game that week.



From seeing your posts and the NWC website it seems your 'A' team is well organised and probably pretty strong with a full squad available.
