From the Woo 71 Report post Posted May 25, 2018 This may be a silly question so forgive me. Do Swindon train and work as one big squad with the teams changing from week to week or are they pretty settled teams throughout the season? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wiltshire Rhino 2,536 Report post Posted May 25, 2018 Two teams, one club. There is some potential overlap (if necessary) but mostly they are 1st XIII and 2nd XIII. 1 Quote 2014 Challenged Cup Winner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

groundhopper 95 Report post Posted May 27, 2018 Took in Boothtown Tigers today 36 12 v West Hull A Both teams has full squads and really enjoyable. Stood on the West Hull side of the pitch for the shade and they certainly thought they did not get the best of the refs decisions Limited facilities but ground of character> Standing on one side, you would not realise you were five mins from the town centre. Standing by the dressing rooms the ground is overlooked by 15 storey tower block. Parking outside requires good handbrake as road is at least 1 in 4 gradient and seems steeper walking up. Maybe 100 in attendance I wish there was some way to entice more, even on here to these games. As always no admission charge However had to arrive early as usual difficulties of confirming game on, in case needed to rush elsewhere 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Exiled Townie 218 Report post Posted May 30, 2018 (edited) Not good news, just heard that the game on Saturday between Milton Keynes Wolves and St Albans Centurions has been called off because Milton Keynes have withdrawn from the East Rugby League. Don't know any other details. Update - Bit of good news, St Albans are going to play a friendly against Bath on Saturday - at Oxford. Apparently Cents and Bath have both been let down and have decided to meet half way between the two towns, 60 miles travelling each, where I believe Oxford Cavaliers play.

Still need a few home venues however Nottingham Outlaws ground is presumably a new one to tick off your list! Coached Nottingham Outlaws women's team on Saturday against Brixton Bulls. Really fun day, some good tries scored with Outlaws winning 44-12, and the game was played in good spirit. It seemed like everyone enjoyed it which is obviously the most important thing, so I'm pretty pleased! Edited June 3, 2018 by Saint 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game.

Exiled Townie 218 Report post Posted June 4, 2018 St Albans and Bath RL played each other on Saturday at Oxford Cavaliers ground, as both teams had been let down with their league games. Both teams had to travel 60+ miles to get there ( and an accident and road closure did not help.) Although the game was a bit one sided (Cents won 60 - 4) it was a great game to watch with both side playing in the true spirit of the game. Both teams had first timers and players of little experience playing, but the game was enjoyable all the same. And thanks to Oxford Cavaliers for the use of their facilities. 4 Quote Jam Eater 1.(noun. jam eeter) A Resident of Whitehaven or Workington. Offensive.
