I've no doubt next week's game will be easier than today's.

Re: Siddal : Sat Feb 10, 2024 4:01 pm  

So we scored 70 points and neither winger scored

That’s also with Siddals winger seeing red too!

How narrow is that Siddal pitch

Hopefully the highlights and game are put up over weekend.

They have been playing the university players, mostly Union lads, it’s hard for them but it’s either ticking over and waiting for an investor or fold and end of. Like someone as said next weekend could be an easier game than today I’m afraid

Not the 70 point win then.
I'm thinking the 2 men off will benefit us but they need to get their act together.

I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting 70.

I saw an old post on the Heritage page, and it featured the challenge cup in 1980, and there were some ties on there featuring amateur sides, and they all gave the superior sides a run

It can't be the pitch......their winger scored.
