North One West 2019/20

Park 31-21 Loo.
Too many forced changes for Loo today including three on debut. The boys gave their all but couldn't capitalise when we went ahead, both occasions park came straight back to score, not allowing us to quieten the game down. Park set piece too good today especially at scrum time. Fair result overall, well played park n well done Loo.

I have ‘spineless’ on my bingo card

Always difficult to lose. But positives where there against a combative BP. In the forwards Guy Byatt carried like a f'ckn pit pony, backs, Darragh & Jonny Roberts were outstanding & the new 13 looked good. It's a squad game, so let's see who's available next weekend.

Gone beyond caring Pen.

The ref was indeed " very unobservant", even basics right under his nose. Loo wr on fire from the off, total control & the BP secured before ht going in 29-8. Sometimes tho 3 on the bench isn't enough, as we'd emptied it 5 mins into the 2nd half. Injuries to key men & wounded still on the pitch brought several reshuffles allowing Burnage back into the game & at on point looked like only one winner, especially when sir, some 30yds back didn't see the most forward pass yr ever likely to see to bring Burnage within one score. We needed something to change momentum & it came in the unlikely shape of our no11, who melted some lad in midfield who spiled the ball. Nervous finish for Loo support with some dodgy decisions, but a great game. Can see how Burnage rack up point, terrific back line, left wing is rapid, but the quickest lad is probably the no6 who scorched in from his own 10mtr & no-one could get near the fella.

Burnage 45 Keswick 21

I’m still away on holiday, so no comment from me other than to say it sounds like we still have loads of work to do on our defence......

Another tough challenge ahead this Saturday with Altrincham Kersal the visitors. Weather forecast is for rain & with the ladies playing Wasps beforehand I hope the pitch hold up for a good spectacle. We have played near every game thus far with a different back row & back line for all the usual reasons, injuries & other commitments etc. We wait for Friday's team announcement & hopefully we can get some consistency of selection. Also having heard several accounts if last week, can we pray for a ref with two eyes this week.

Think the bottom 3 at the minute will be the teams going down. Everybody else seems very similar and can beat anybody on their day if they’ve a full team out.

Fair point Sten - and a way to go.

I'm assuming you weren't there RC. It was ridiculous. Of course the loo players infringed, it was the regularity of the whistle and the total lack of consistency from the official that cost us. Hearty handshakes at the final whistle from the Northwich coaching staff and on obvious familiarity didn't help matters either.
