Haresfinch 26-38 SV.

Great effort yesterday from the boys, Haresfinch are a massive set and play it down the middle allot so our fellas had to dig in at times, our trys came on the back of some fantastic rugby and in the heat 1-17 deserve a pat on the back, some big performances!

Sorry to orrell for yesterday. 11 lads turned up to find that 2 lads have gone to st annes 1 as quit and another 2 r on their hols and the coach for under 18s wont let em play for us even with their game called off this week.

so all together thats, 7 to st annes, 3 av quit and 3 are injured

not looking good at all

Im sorry higgyforlife but it annoys me this, the whole point of having a under 18's side is so that they are ready to take the step up to the open age first team, if the under 18's coach wont let you use the under 18's players he should be spoken too, the highest level at higgy is the first team so players are supposed to be called up to that team.
its like a 16 yr old playing academy rugby at oldham then the first team calling him up and the academy coach saying no you cant use him, im pretty sure he would be collecting his p45 up instantly !!!
you should be having serious words with that coach its not good for anyone !"!"!

no one gives a poop about us now, our coach turns up 1/2 times per month due to bein a policeman plus no one else will coach us in oldham its getting to the point were we are gonna fold, .

EVEN saddleworth,st annes and waterhead 2nd teams are struggling to get players it just seems one one cares about rugby down here anymore.

We have told our chairman to have a word with the under 18s coach but like i said one one gives a poop!!!!!!

Keep your chin up Higgy and keep going, every team goes through poop spells.

As long as you keep a decent nucleus you will be ok.

Good luck!

Think its gonna be a matter of makin the best with what u have this year higgy, HFH is right tho bud as long as u have a core group of lads that do give a poop then u will be ok, might be a case dropping down, consolidate this year and bring the young through nxt year, but its at times like this ur young lads need to see the likes of yourself biggin the place up, glass has always gotta look half full to the young lads. Chin up pal.

Correct. If the open age team folds then the u18 lads who want to play rugby in a year will have to look for another club.

Thanks Shawy, good to hear your lad is ok.

Did you play pal and if so, where and what number?

I was lucky enough not ot be needed as we had enough for our 1st and 2nd teams. I was bringing the water on and I was bloody goot at it aswell.
I was planning on not playing this season but got roped in for first game as we were short. Dont really get time to train with looking after my lad and my partners daft shifts. Starting to get itchy feet now though so you may get to see my silky skills in sunny Widnes in December.
