North One West

Being relatively new to this Forum, there seems to be a general lack of coverage of the comings and goings of the season so far What are peoples thoughts on the season so far?

Thought it would be good to get other people involved rather than hijack that specific thread. After all there are more than those teams involved.

Former Burnage player (colts, 1st XV and eventually Vets), long standing member and former President.

I think it would be fair to say that the standard of rugby in this league has improved over the years.
It also seems that the step up to what was National Three looks to have become a little more difficult, where last year's run-away success story have struggled to maintain their form.
Likewise, De La Salle and Anselmians seem to have had trouble adjusting to North One West. Having seen both clubs play, it seems a little odd. In my humble opinion they seem to have the players and neither side gave up, still pushing hard at 80 minutes.

We're up at Penrith this weekend and I'm looking forward to their legendary hospitality.

Saints were desperately unlucky on Saturday and fully deserved to win . We  received a red card on 50minutes for a coming together of heads which the ref admits he didn't see and sent the player from the field of play based upon the football player reaction of BPs 10, who was as much to blame  . We played 30 minutes out conceding 2 x penalties (rugby God's not shinning on Saints ) ...

Shame ... Would have loved to catch up with you

Don’t worry we will catch up soon enough !!! Monty don’t great

2 games off half term and my final league predictions for what it's worth -

Six points separate 2nd & 9th... it's an even league. Carlisle out in front, a good side but they've rode their luck in a couple of games by all accounts & that can easily change. Only takes a decent run of games to put you into contention. I feel it'll go all the way to the last game.

Now why would you do that?
