Having (hopefully like most of us) enjoyed a fantastic Team GB performance and waxed lyrical about our achievements, I returned to my first love and went along to Featherstone and got brought back down to earth - but returning from a embarrassing experience I took a philosophical look back at our season so far:

promoted side - knowing it was going to be tough
really competitive against Featherstone,Halifax and Sheffield at Home (3 of the top four teams)
beating Batley at home (the other top four team)
on the down side we have performed poorly on a number of occasions but as previously said this is a tough league

So with two game to go, both of which again will be tough I will adopt the Olympic attitude and say our season has been a relative success - we would have stayed in this league if relegation had been applied and I am sure the Club will continue to improve on 'work in progress' - naivety is not my barrow but I believe in positives not negatives

Retour en haut

Very well said.

Yes, I'll echo Mark's comments

Oh yes, class of '63, I like your little picture of the great Graham Williams - for me easily the best uncapped Swinton player I ever saw on a rugby league field. Graham was international class without doubt.
