Greetland v Sharlston abandoned "fighting"
Halifax Irish 2nds Walkover 18.0 against.
My eldest lad plays for Greetland 1st team & was working yesterday so had to miss the game. He was informed late afternoon that there had been a couple of brawls & it had been abandoned as a result. I've said for the last two seasons, they're a very young side ( Stainland are the same ) who are going through a re-building process and many sides will try to bully them because of their lack of experience. As i wasn't there yesterday I won't pass further comment, but I will add that Sharlo got promoted from Greetland's division last season and they were badly behaved last season also.
Another new side to the Pennine league Woodhouse Warriors ( sic ) tried to bully Greetland at Spring rock earlier this season cos they were being very much outplayed, but when the young lads got stuck back into them & gave them a pasting at the nasty stuff as well they started making verbal threats about visiting their place in the return fixture, they were an absolute disgrace that day.
The Pennine league clowns shouldn't allow these Yorkshire league sides into the Pennine ranks, most of them have crossed over with a history of discipline problems, some of them are unwelcome in their local leagues, they come with trouble written all over them.
I hear half a dozen Elland lads turned out for Heath 3rds yesterday now their winter season is over with.
