been better than us all season and proves that given the chance local players can shine and make the grade

[DavidM]

Yes indeed . But we look a team that's united and has a will to play for each other. I'm afraid every time we see you you just look a collection of disjointed individuals. Without Rooney theres nothing there.

This has also been proven with the raiders, 90% of the raiders squad are local with only ballard and ostler traveling and maybe dandy, the rest are based in barrow apart from the dual reg players off coarse, and 1 of them ryan shaw, is a barrow lad.

take rooney out of that haven team and they are pants end of.well done Town your efforts were magnificent today.
best wishes to Ell Miller it looked a nasty one ,i hope he makes a speedy and full recovery.

First thing first is that Elliot miller is fine. Really worried for the guy and hope he's ok. This is the most important thing about today and whatever the problem was and is let's hope the lad a speedy recovery.

As for the game, town totally dominated and controlled the game, totally agree with the man of the match as Karl olstrum was absolutely brilliant. I can't pick a negative out because there wasn't one. Although can we have an inquest who that was wearing number 5 for town. Surely it wasn't calders, he was absolutely outstanding and his centre partner Morris was equally as good. Loved to see 2 ex have players score and they both loved it. Any deluded idiot from down the road who thinks doran is the bees knees should watch that game and compare him to shacks,stack and phillips. He's not in the same league as any of them. Brett carterwas brilliant at 6 and at full back and thought Carl forber was the best half back on the pitch by s country mile. 1-17 were simply far superior and congratulations to each and every one of them.

Well done down. Better by far. Good luck next week.
I hope Ell miller is ok, rugby means nothing when things like that happen.

From an haven fan i would like to congratulate town on their win today but most of all i would hope elliott millers injury isn,t too bad great young player. Now for the 5th time this season weve been outplayed and outmuscled by towns bigger pack but what can you expect when towns 2nd rowers are a lot bigger than our front rowers but never mind lets look onwards and upwards to next season and good luck at donny next week xxx

Charlo said that Elliott's injury was concussion and he was knocked out for a few minutes and was taken to hospital as a precaution. Hopefully he'll soon be back on his feet.

As for the game, all of the team played well, every single one of them. However, special praise for 3 players - Chris Annakin is just immense at this level and was fantastic today he was everywhere, Karl Olstrum took the game to them at every opportunity, and finally a huge well done to a player who gets his fair share of stick - Carl Forber. To kick 7 from 7 out of that swamp was a tremendous effort and shows the value of having a good goalkicker in the team.

Nice to see this thread was begun by a haven fan, haven4ever, and I'm sure as much as it must have hurt him to write it he actually means what he says, so thanks and well done marra. Town bossed the game from start to finish and the Haven players will know they have been in a match today. We now get a chance to put right the poor performance on TV at Donny and this time if we play like today we will be meeting Barrow at Warrington 2 weeks today.

Charlo said on the radio after the game that Miller didn't have a broken jaw or anything like that it was just a case of concussion. That came about purely and simply from the conditions. As he brought a ball out from his own line he ran about 20 metres and as he approached Haven tacklers he lost his footing and skidded into their legs. He got up a bit gingerly and as play continued Town scored. Miller went to congratulate John Patrick for scoring and was walking back to the half-way line when he just flopped on to his knees. It was a very worrying time but it seems that he is on the way to recovering fairly quickly.

[DavidM]

Good news .All the best Eliott , Towns finest.

[bobg]

Well played 1-17,hope Elliot is soon on road to recovering, Town v Haven played 5 won 5 say no more.

[BUZZYBEE]

Well done guys
Cumbrian final looking good

[town4me]

the old saying that defence wins games rang true today. it was a fantastic defensive effort from the lads not allowing them to get going and our line speed was very good to. it appears deludedefans.com forum has gone down.

[wonky]

In the 2nd half where they scared of getting wet? Because they seemed determined not too cross it into them puddles.

[Derwent]

Brett Carter has just tweeted that he's been to see Elliott in hospital and he is fine apart from a banging headache ! He's had CT scans and they've come back clear so thats great news.
