Thanks for that.Looks like a tight affair tomorrow and an exiting one.Maybe King will win it for us with his sneak from acting half.

Right so far

Playing well Rovers, passing ball about well today and tackling well, Swinton are no mugs though getting stuck in.

All you lot predicting a narrow victory, I hope you don't fit carpets.

Not many would have predicted a score like this the way Swinton have been playing. Rovers were well on form today.

I'm predicting we win by 50 points. Crowd just over 2k. 

But it's a lot easier after the event.

Good team performance after a shaky start. Swinton played well in parts, but could not live with our speed , strength and power. Surprisingly no moans about the ref today from me. Roll on York.

Swinton throw the ball out well but Fev snuffed it out with the best team performance for quite a while.

   Good all round TEAM performance today.All 17 played their part and we were too strong down the middle for them.Backing up was much better two or three players following the ball carrier.If we play as well next week we will beat York.Fairclough still chirping to whoever would listen, and it made my day when John Davies flattened him.

Snuffed out their form player in Ashton, tried to use Kibula as a battering ram but he didnt want to know from the off

Leigh mustve been really poor last week because i thought Swinton were pretty poor all game - once we got over for the first one we seemed to score at will all game

I too was expecting a close game but we were well up for it today 

Expecting to see a healthy following next week at York

played well but still let in some sloppy tries

You have to understand that a CLOUGH is a ravine with a TORRENT running down it. His chirping comes in torrents so FAIR enough.
