Midlands Hurricanes 16 v 44 Oldham F/T

A late burst of tries results in a scoreline which perhaps flatters Oldham who won't be all that happy with their performance today. Midlands worked hard and carried a threat to the visitors but were always going to struggle to win the game after Matty Welham's 25th minute red card.

At 16-20 with about 20 minutes to go Oldham it was telling that Oldham took the two points offered from a penalty.

Then Hurricanes had a good try disallowed and Oldham were give a try which even their supporters doubted.

The red card halfway through the first half was the difference between the two sides. In the last 5/10 minutes Oldham ran in a few trys against the very tired 12 men that flattered them.

But, its the scoreline that goes into the history books.

Well done to everyone in what was a real tussle.

    I think Midland Hurricanes are a success story.Shame they are detached from most other clubs Geography wise.It would be better for them playing against reams from Birmingham ,Nottingham and Derby but they are making a go of it.

Hopefully one day there will be semi-pro teams in Derby and Nottingham (and then maybe a second club playing in Birmingham) who can join the 3rd tier of the sport but at this time the best thing for Midlands' development is to be playing against the likes of Workington and Hunslet.  We won away at Oldham and Doncaster last season and the aim is for results like those to be on the cards every visit.

We now have a shiny new stadium to grow into and the numbers will come with the success on the pitch.

The score definitely flattered us. Midlands did a great job of targeting our lack of mobility at halfback and also had some great go forward orchestrated by two good halves and your nine. I think you'll be up there in the playoffs this season and hope the crowds start coming along to support. From our perspective, it was a very poor performance. A plethora of unforced errors, ill-discipline and general tardiness. We'll certainly need to raise our game when playing against Keighley.

Another game North Wales Crusaders cudda, shudda won. I thought Hunslet were fortunate to have theier first try awarded (player offside at the kick and a forward pass to the scoring player) but Going in 6 -12 up was fine. Our second half performance was worse than last week against Hornets. We had a penalty and that looked like our only chance of scoring. North Wales lost the game rather than Hunslet doing anything special to win it. Very disappointed that we didn't push harder to win.

How's Danny Craven going?

Just because you think everyone hates you doesn't mean they don't.
