Went to see the Stone Roses at Heaton Park.... Marvellous.

Anyway, is it too late regardless of what we do here?

John D,s squad has 18 players.The Club says that Da Costa replaces the injured Aiton,but includes Aiton in the 19.No Bosc I regret to say.Despite having no points Halifax have been better than us and look good value at 15 to 8 with the bookies.I shall be there and shall report at around 8.30 on Sunday evening.With luck I hope to be saying that we have lived to fight another day.

Here is my report.The first half was even,but it was becoming clear that they lacked the pace and skill-a bit like us only worse-to break through.Then Bird was sin binned,but we scored 2 tries, one of whih was jammy.A third,orchestrated by Tierney followed early in the second half and we simply ground them down although the score flattered us.
Marks Tierney 8 Duport 4-very bad under the high ball,but much better in other areas Inu 6 wlliame 8 Yaha 7 Walsh 7-but carried off with a leg injury ,which looked bad. Myler 8 Casty 6 Da costa 6 Moa 6 Anderson 7 Horo 7 Bird 7. Plus Garcia 6 -much better at hooker than last time Bousquet 8 Baitieri 6 And Albert was only used at the end. This might help our confidence
