Not a game apparently. Training session and as Underhill has no safety certificate, closed to the public. Don't waste your time going to watch as will be behind closed doors.

The match is now Hemel v a London Broncos Select XIII

The game is definitely on with the well-drained Pennine Way pitch holding up well to the weather. Kick off is 1.00pm

FT: Stags 26-6 Broncos(?)U19's

I have never, ever been so cold and wet after a game of RL. The rain & sleet were horizontal at times even in the seats at the top of the stand! If we put on some 'first-team players' I missed them and our handling was as shocking as the weather...BUT... as we are such a new squad I doubt I'd recognise many of them anyway as we played in the old black MKK kit with just numbers on the jerseys. Hemel really deserved their victory and good luck to them this season. Certainly worth the fiver's admission price despite the weather.

I will raise you Batley Bulldogs in the cup for cold and wet. Craig's Gower was still shivering after showering (and it was his birthday).

I shan't ask for any stand out performances then

The Broncos boys were a match for Hemel until the last 15 minutes. Awful conditions to play in.

WHAT??!! The Broncos only got out of their half 4 times in the first half; while the Stags had 2 (or was it 3) tries chalked off. Hemel Stags deserved trier victory.

Given the score, no wonder it was called a LB select but sounds a good run out for hemel

I suspect it was men against boys! Nevertheless well done Hemel, remember Wigan's kids tonked the Skolars!
