Similar numbers in the North West when Ron Girvin and his family administer a fantastic competition.

Amateur game always came first.

Cheers gents, think we sorted. Bobbies bar told us they can get any sports on. Fingers crossed.

Currently in callella Spain, does anyone know a bar that will show super league games?

Got to say,what a pleasure it was to have a very brief conversation with a true rugby league guy. Kenny from Eccles rugby club. His enthusiasm and support for his club is second to none. He turned up to watch Ince Rose bridge against Skirlaugh and as always he was as enthusiastic as everyone. Nice to see you mate thanks for your support hope to see you soon.

Had the pleasure to be coached by Bill for many years, a top player, coach and most importantly a great friend. RIP Mate , we will never forget you.

My grandson is 10 and he and his young mate loved it yesterday. So it is appealing to some of our younger fans.

I honestly don't know.

Being honest I think most teams are in the same boat. Our club has not had the same team out for two week running all season. Speaking to all the other clubs we have played they all seem to be in similar positions. We have had to forfeit some second team fixtures to get a team out in the NCL. I know of other clubs who have folded their second teams this season due to player availability.

Last night went to Ince Rose Bridge v Army rl. Cracking game , superb first half performance saw Bridge take a very healthy half time lead. The fitness of the Army lads shone in the second half and they staged a superb fightback only to finally lose out 32-28. Was great to see a good few under 18s making their progression to the open age teams. Good crowd and great camaraderie between both teams played in excellent spirit well refereed by the young official.

Got to agree with you, was a good old fashioned derby that is needed more regularly. I think the current format is working well. Something for the clubs to think about. Shame about the situation with the bar, never got a chance to enjoy a pint with our old foes. Believe it or not many of whom are now good mates. We are now to old to be anything else !!!

Sorry to say wigan has nothing to offer,, it becoming a ghost town !
