It was postponed. Apparently so Mancunians can get players back from winter teams once their commitments are finished, seems they have lost 4 lads who have returned to Cadishead.

Accrington & Leyland Lions 31 - 18 Riversiders

Great start for the you Lions outfit

And well played too!

We started very slow, but you took advantage and raced into a 18-0 lead. If you can keep that intensity up during the season you will challenge no doubt.

But if those winter teams have now committed to summer (as nearly all of them have), I would expect recruitment is going to be difficult. There are RU lads of course and maybe others who see Mancs as their main team.

It must be a concern - they've entered a 1st in the Premier and 'A' team in the Merit and cancelled games for both.

What sort of side are u men putting out wb?

we played 2 lads that played most of season in 1st team, a couple under 18s, some from st maries and widnes tigers. still very strong.

west bank vs accrington & leyland, west bank by 10
wigan should win today they dont want to drop off the pace this early.

Re: RLC northwest prem : Sat May 14, 2011 4:24 pm  

west bank 48-10 accrington and leyland. referee was diabolical for us but after we took a 10-0 lead then accy and leyland went in at half time 10-20. that was as good as it got for accy and leyland(in there swinton kit). west bank just took control with good line speed and strong running. great start 2 from 2 so far with a home game next week against mancunians

Mancunians turned up at Wigan with 7 players and the game didn't go ahead. Whoever moved them up to NW Prem needs to have a word with themselves.

Ouch. I think we can wave goodbye to the Merit team, but it'll be a shame if they don't get a Prem team together. To be fair, iirc last year they had big numbers, 30-40 lads training some weeks and the team was pretty strong - I think they reached the final (or semi)? But like I said a few pages back, with their feeder teams mostly going to summer, recruitment was always going to be tough.

Any other results from the weekend?

They won the regional division last summer, and have made the step up to the Premier division.

On Saturday the blame was on players letting them down as Man Utd and Man City had games. Turning up with 7 to a Prem game is unacceptable, we expect that second team/merit fixtures will get cancelled from time to time.

Only one game in the Prem when ahead at the weekend, Liverpool Buccs v East Lancs Vikings was postponed during the week. Anyone know why?

Re: RLC northwest prem : Mon May 16, 2011 7:26 pm  

Liverpool Buccs got a postponement due to lack of players.
