i dunno if u have been too busy but have you given up on them or forgotton about them ??
come on o "great one" it always made interesting reading

pads8ball

apologies but for some reason not been able to log-on through normal route -don't know if others have had the same problem

any way here goes

A TEAM - another good reason which shows as players pull together we can compete -excellent performances by the stand in capt Mooney and boycie with 4 out of 4 followed by good 3 out of 4's by Danny/Dave Woods/Rowey and our mr consistency Gary Willis could him achieve an England trials almost twenty years after his last one.

B team -not so good with us drifting in new players because squad players have for what ever reason not been committed - however some more experienced players are not performing and really need to. We will have a lot trialing on November 30th so hopefully next year we will have a more consistent turn-out. Russ Binnington is proving his worth and has been a welcome addition to the team.

Ladies again proving they are on the up -great performances all round but particularly from Sally/Sharon/Leanne and the ever consistent capt -Michelle.

Juniors - in a hard fought battle came back from 20- 12 to 20-18 before running out of sream and going down 24-20. A welcome return to form from the capt Callum Prince with 3 out of 4 the pick of the bunch.

Well now onto other matters.

The AGM WILL BE HELD ON 7TH DECEMBER B4 THE LAST MATCH OF THE SEASON AT 10.30AM - ALL CARDHOLDERS ARE ENTITLED TO ATTEND.

Trials for all players outside of the top 22 and new trialists are on November 30th at the moment this includes the following players who have played this year

Adrian Newton
Myles Deluse
James Blant
Max Billingham
Mike Scott
Kev Smith
Graham Wakefield
James Pinder
Tim Taylor
Harry Charambolous
Brett Linaker
Trev Brown
Darren Christian
Paul Gwyther
Scott Williams
Rory Redmond

THE TOP 3 OR 4 IF they play in the next 3 games could still secure a top 22 place.
These will need to play on the 30th with all new trialists for the 8 places which will play off against the 15-22 ranked players for a place in the starting line-up for the first 3 games next year.

Players almost definitely secure for next year are
Gary Willis
Steve Mooney
Neal Jackson
Paddy Prince
Carl Rowe
Karl Fenton
Danny Rhodes

with a bit more to do are
Dave Woods (Hol)
Adam Moss
Dave Smith
Mark Pickworth
Lee Applewhite
Carl Richardson
Danny Whitaker

those competing for the 15-22 positions for the second trails on the 14th December are

Dave Woods (SLEA)
Simon Baxter
Steve Jakes
Tony Longmire
Alan Ray
James Ray
Wayne Blackshaw

As people can see lots to play and this is just a snapshot for the moment -things will become much clearer after the next 2 games - good luck all
