RogerT Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Just read your posting and answered you on our site(Batley), your fans aren't talking about it much either, it will be nice to see you all again, you will bring more species than the Catalans will for our next cup match. Cheers Roger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne_r Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Another great result for the Lions - two weeks ago Richard Marshal gave Swinton no credit at all it was all about how badly Halifax had played, today John Kear said the best team won and gave Swinton the credit they deserve. Today's result has made my day........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

il cattivo Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Well done again swinton,the batley fans had written you off before kick off,but you came up with the goods,another great result No.not all batley fans had written off swinton. I knew how hard this was going to be, maybe more than the players should have, and wasn't suprised at the score. Well played swinton.fully deserved victory.

Bryce Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Nice to see some complimentary comments from the majority of Batley fans. The lack of respect shown to the Lions recently has been disgraceful. Onto the game, I think that was probably our best performance of the season. The defence was quality and turned up when we needed most. Our attacking play was wonderful (as always) and the Marshall try in the 2nd half was try of the match. Batley looked dangerous in spells but we were onto Brambani throughout the game. Their best players were James Brown and their no.18, apologies they'd sold out of progs by the time I got there. 4/4 and onto Haven next week.

RIGGY Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share Posted April 24, 2016 Well said Bryce the No18 was Tom Lillycrop. I agree on the try it was a free play and the bit of magic and bright thinking from Atkin with the kick started it and then Marshall controlled the bouncing ball with his foot to collect it and score. Nine tries in five games for him now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin James Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Chris Atkin today, one of the best individual performances I can remember. He looked like creating something on every play. He also seems to be growing as a leader, directing the team around the field and taking charge of situations. Future captain? That said the whole team was magnificent. Batley thought they could just steamroll us up the middle. They may have had bigger bodies but no team in the league has bigger hearts than our lads, epitomised by Robinson dumping their centre into touch near the end. I just hope teams keep underestimating us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine tries in five games for him now. Thanks Riggy. I thought he was solid, made a lot of yards and caused us the most trouble along with Brown. Our first win at the Mount since 2000 and 4 in a row at this level for what must be a similar period of time. Maybe late 90's? Yet again, I can't wait to see the game on Lions TV!

class of 63 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Tend to neglect this forum too much with the our growing Facebook page - but today was, in my opinion, our best performance of the season - quality flowing rugby, top tries and everyone of the lads playing well but have to say Chris Atkin is showing real class at the moment - lets just keep it going - great time to be a Lions fan, but then it always is.

Blue Monkey Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 You only have to look at the players when they play the ball, they're all raring to go, their confidence and team spirit brim full. Great credit to all concerned, when players, coaches or trainers etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
