Update

It’s been a while since I posted anything here so it’s about time I rectified things. Rugby-wise things are looking good at the moment. The U14s side I coach played a friendly a couple of weeks ago against their local rivals Chorley who play in a division above the one in which we play. With both teams at full strength Leyland ran out winners by 19 points to 10. This came on the back of another victory in a friendly over them about 3 weeks earlier. Things are looking promising for next season for us. A good test will be the 9 a side tournament at Chorley on Sunday when we will be playing against teams who all play at a higher level than us. With three of our key players absent it will be interesting to see how we cope.

On the professional front Saints inflicted the heaviest defeat EVER (75 – 0) on their fiercest rivals Wigan. Not only that but we prevented them from scoring and beat the score posted against Wigan the previous week by Leeds of 70 – 0. It was a great feeling watching us do that to a side that has crucified us on many occasions previously.
