North One West 2019/20

Hi folks,

I suggested starting this new thread ready for our new season a few weeks ago.
No one said "don't bother" or "don't be daft"
So I contacted forum admin to double checked it was OK to start a new thread.

So here we are, good luck for the new season

Wilmslow 36 Burnage 32

A very close game which could have gone our way with some joined up thinking
Mark Jennings (ex Sale Sharks centre) was extremely influential

Loo competed well with a few key faces missing (not an excuse, the better team won) but were crippled with an inability to win lineout ball. At least 4/penalties were kicked to the corner (excellently by the new 10 I might add) only for the ball to be tossed away. At least of those ended up behind our own try line 2 minutes later for a 14pt swing! Not blaming our stand in hooker - played out of position and we got found out. Worrying to be honest.

Penrith looked dangerous with ball in hand as usual, but the score could definitely have been closer. Loo down to 13 for a while too for 2 high tackles, one of which advantage was played and a try was scored followed by a retrospective yellow card.

Prett disappointed to see our captain getting stamped on right under the refs nose at the command of one of the Penrith coaching staff - poor form all round that.

No complaints about the result, polish a few rusty elements and get a couple of players back in and we'll do OK.

Hopefully

Loo were outstanding today, could have been more, so good to watch.

Wilmslow deserved win in a good game with the backs looking good. Ref not great but a quick game on a warm afternoon.

Oh and a fiver to get in.

Some interesting results elsewhere but a long way to go.

Important win for Burnage , Port obviously competitive at Penrith position now clearer at both top and bottom but I think we need to give it another 4 games given the number of close games as well as the od odd thrashing.

Watching from sunny Spain at the mo.

Two maximums at both the top & bottom. Looks like another year of anyone on their day can win. Good win for Loo vs manx, Bro pk ship 60+ point to Loo last week then go & put 60+ on Keswick, who I fear will have a long season. Surprised by Penrith at the top & Northwich towards the bottom. Big game for Loo vs Vale this Saturday, hopefully a bumper crowd to cheer the boys to a win. Looking like we have a bit of depth to the squad atm, well stocked in key positions.

Loo 20 - 14 Vale of Lune
