North One West 2019/20

At one point the ref looked at the Northwich defensive line, waved them back from offside, Northwich turned the ball over, he looked at the loo defensive line and immediately blew a penalty for offside! At one point he penalised loo for calling a forward pass, gifting Northwich 3ptd right in front of the posts!

I think criticism of refereeing in the bar, post match is almost inevitable.
But I suspect we all get the "rub of the green" on occasion.
Certainly some Burnage members were apoplectic about the referee's performance after our game at Waterloo.

However, I think continuing that on here, well after the fact, is quire poor form.

We were dissatisfied with the referee at our away game at Northwich.
A Northwich supporter berated the referee post match. The referee (bless him) offered the guy the number of the secretary of the referee society and recommended a refereeing course. Oddly, the bloke backed down really fast.

A very gritty win for Loo over a strong AK side. Very similar gameplan to Birkenhead - kick to touch and roll the maul from wherever it may be. 

Week off for N1W this week. Any idea if the three games cancelled last week at Bowdon, Bro Pk n Stockport will be played? Last thing we need this early is a back log.

I understand Port game at Northwich switched to Bramhall due to flooded pitch.

Burnage,28 Penrith 18
An excellent game of rugby
A smashing, sociable, afternoon with our friends from the North.
Penrith a little unlucky to get nothing out of the game.


We visit Broughton Park next Saturday at their place, looking forward to going there to watch the game

Broughton Park 21 Burnage 6
Congratulations to Park on the victory.
A series of yellow cards and 25+ penalties cost us dearly.

Bowden have some decent players, unfortunately for them, not enough. Made Loo toil for the opening 15 but couldn't hold out for ever. Loo pressure eventually taking over. Bowden got on the scoreboard in the last 5 minutes. 63-10

It's obvious but Wilmslow look the team to beat, not impossible, if it were at home I think there'd be more of a chance. All depends on availability, but I can't foresee many leaving Wilmslow with a win.
