Blummin freezing at Batley but it is that time of year! 1st 40 mins was pretty impressive by Fax playing up hill. Brown's kicking game was superb with a quality 40/20 , dinks to the corners instead of straght down the full backs throat, and some great up and unders to the wings. He will save Fax's forward a lot of graft over the season. Ambler was quality with drives and also two sublime off loads. Defence was spot on. Created a few chances out wide but fluffed. Work in progress but that is what these games are about.
Nice touch by Fax fans when Blacky was coming off the pitch in front of us to applaud him.
Nice to be back watching the Fax on a Sunday.
Ben will always be well regarded by most of us supporters and I think it's great that we acknowledge all our ex players.
At Leigh last year one or two of our travelling imbeciles kept shouting "reject" at Ostick, not necessary.
Back to the game, I must admit I thought it was pretty dire, the second half particularly. however there was plenty of promise as Living has said above. A typical Batley, Fax, pitch, weather game.
Chips were excellent, only fault? the lady asked small portion or large. how insulting, do I look like a person who eats a small portion of chips? Nearly burst my speedos.
Well done Fax. A good afternoon out.
ps, great Fax following, easily outnumbered the home crowd. Lets keep it up all year, home and away.
See you at Fev?
