That sets a marker dowm!

Take nothing away from cougars, a good team display and worked well as a team. Wizards missed 6 kicks at goal and where their own worst enemy's. Ah well, bring on next week.

Been tol that it was -
West London Sharks 22 -v- 28 Eastern Rhinos
Great result for Rhinos if true.

South London Storm 26 -v- 32 St Albans Centurions
Funny old game, played upon a trampoline (sorry, MUGA). Both teams suffering from Bank Holidayitis with juniors/reserves playing on both teams. Storm were on fine form, they have some very good prospects in some of their young lads, and I think led for most of the match. With about 10 minutes to go Storm were leading 26 - 20, then Cents fitness began to show and they ran in two converted tries to grab the win. Next week a few more senior players will be back for the Cents for their first 'proper' game at our new ground against Hainault Bulldogs.

Good result but i suspect Warrington would not be near to their normal full strength! However it does indicate that they will still be competitive even when the NCL start playing in the summer.

Dewsbury Celtic somewhat impressively managed to play 2 fixtures in different leagues this year, their first RLCN one and their last Yorkshire League one (unlike Kippax and Featherstone Lions who scratched a load of outstanding fixtures)

Dewsbury Celtic 42-14 Nottingham Outlaws
Nevison Leap 42-20 Dewsbury Celtic

Though incidentally they'd have been expected to beat Nevison Leap normally

Wallsend Eagles 28-42 Jarrow Vikings
Sunderland City 28-40 Gateshead Spartans
Peterlee Pumas 12-28 Gateshead Storm

Easterhouse Panthers 28-44 Ayrshire Storm
Edinburgh Eagles 24-0 Carluke Tigers
Moray Eels P-P Fife Lions

Falkirk P-P Ayr Knights
Moray Titans 34-56 Aberdeen Warriors

Sussex Merlins 16-54 Guildford Giants

Looks like Scotland probably started their league too early but North East looks relatively closely matched now they've split it into 2 divisions.

Yeah though it's more complicated than that as they'll be in a different competition, hopefully they get accepted by Championship 1.

Valley Cougars aren't just the club side from last year they're stronger than that and it is a long trip

I'm not one for sour grapes, but we had lads missing and made some daft mistakes aswell as missing 6 kicks at goal
but credit to cougars they did the basics right and kicked well. They are another side like Hemel and will be tough to beat away for any team but I'm more than confident that result will be revesed at wilderspool, an you can quote me. Good luck to everyone for tomorrow.

Hey, don't knock our trampoline ! You'll be grateful for that extra bounce when the pitches turn to rock later on in the season.

It was a very enjoyable game, played in good spirit. Our lads' inexperience showed with a few dodgy decisions which led to loss of possession in the final 5 minutes, but we were pleased with the way they went. Southern Premier is looking very competitive this year, with the Rhinos-Wests result as well. Could be a good season all round.

That hill at Dewsbury Celtic counts as a 14th man. We were in the lead for most of the first half, with the score on the whistle being 14 all. Second half was a different story though, and they just blew us away when they were playing downhill.

We never got out of the changing rooms at their place, we found ourselves 16 - 0 down within the first 10 minutes and never got into the game, they blew us away 40 - 14.

It was a great game though, and ad the risk of sounding like Brian Mac when he was at Quins, there were a lot of positives to be taken from the performance today. I missed most of last season due to a combination of work, illness and a general feeling that I needed a season away, so today's squad looked nothing like the one of two years ago. There were about 4 of the old first team regulars, about the same number of fringe/"A" team players from back then, and the rest were either new additions or young lads that have come through our juniors. It all looks good for the future, as there's a lot of raw talent there, there's just a lot more game time needed.

We were terrible and should have been beat by a lot more on the day - Did they have the big young backrower playing, he has a massive work rate.

The massive mutant who's about 6'8"? Yes. He played the full 80 minutes as well.

Hainault 10-34 Hammersmith

Portsmouth 38-34 Greenwich

I'm surprised he has not been snapped up, I think he is only about 19/20.

RLC Southern Prem
West London Sharks 22 -v- 28 Eastern Rhinos
South London Storm 26 -v- 32 St Albans Centurions

The other result in that league is
Hainault Bulldogs 10 V 34 Hammersmith Hill Hoists

As Roy haggerty says, going on these results, Southern Prem could be very competitive this year.

The good news in Scotland is that they regularly later take a week off for the Home Nations games so there is the potential to catch up on missed fixtures. Fife's site says that Carluke, Moray and Falkirk were all unable to raise teams. Odd since the two Moray teams played a friendly last week! Falkirk are a bit worrying as they were at home - but they are based on a smallish RU club so they would be most inconvenienced by the early start. They were at a 7s in Kelso yesterday to round off their season (their RU league finished on April 2) so we'll see what happens in the next round. As for Carluke - that's a bit more worrying.

NW counties still playing?
