Neil's Notes v Swinton/Featherstone Away Travel : Mon Feb 17, 2014 8:43 am
Well at last got the season under way and the 3 points although not as comfortable as it looked early on.If you look back to last season we won our early games and the opposition managed the bonus point. I would take the same over the next 3 games with Featherstone next followed by Batley and Sheffield.
Just a mention to one of our former players who did us a favour with Dewsbury winning Featherstone. One try and a winning drop goal. Well done Anthony Thackeray.
The sponsors Man of the Match went to Ben Johnston as did the Shay Lounge MOM. So Ben starts with 3 points in the season long vote. 2nd place with 2 points went to Wayne Reittie and the final 1 point for 3rd was Steve Tyrer.
The Hitman award sponsored once again by Halifax RLFC Players Ass was Ben Davies with strong performances also from Tony Tonks and Andy Bracek.
Half time draw winning number was 9739.
The Supporters Trust made another donation of £5000 to the Faxbuilder Fund at half time.
On the way to the next £5000 with £750 from Club 1873 and Away Travel to be hand over this week.
Thanks to all those who have renewed their Club 1873 membership with 107 now signed up. Still plenty of time to renew/join with the first draw against Doncaster at the end of March.
Now on to our next game this Sunday at Featherstone Ko 3.00pm. The Supporters coach leaves the Shay at 1.15pm. Cost is £10 adults and £5 juniors with drop off and pick up a few yards from the turn stiles.
To book phone me on 07714488080.
