Yes, but did anyone "shine"?

This seems to be a very important consideration these days.

Luckily there is enough talent in Cumbria to at least give Haven a fighting chance. Really feel for them, it could happen to anyone's club. At least they will now have 17 Marras playing with pride and not have ###### oversees trotting out every week.

Quentin Laulu-Togaga’e’s Testimonial, Sheffield v Castleford on Friday evening has also been cancelled because of the weather.

I hope it works out for them and doesn't impact player numbers for local amateur clubs too badly.

I was just about to post this, but @JonM beat me to it.....seems current conditions in Widnes are for ice to remain for the next couple of days and the pitch to be unplayable.

Hunslet v York scheduled for Sunday cancelled due to the weather.

[Dovster]

It is damn cold in Oldham today. There was no real chance of the match passing the pitch inspection

They certainly competed with Barrow a lot better than Whitehaven did earlier in the week.
