The 1st XV game at Blackburn is off, as is the Hawks’  game at Bowdon. The Vikings’  game at Preston is doubtful.  However,  Sale v Cardiff Blues is due for broadcast on Sky at 3-30pm,  so why not watch it over a pint at  the club?

Contraray to what the handbook says, next Saturday is NOT a free weekend. The Wolves are playing Northwich away on Saturday, Jan 23rd. There is also an error concerning the last match of the season. We are due to play Altrincham Kersal at home on April 10th, not April 3rd, which is scheduled to be a free weekend, but could very easily now be taken up by the delayed Blackburn away match.

We are advised by the league that we will play Aspatria at home on Feb 6th and New Brighton away on Feb 27th.

The Vikings will play Leigh 3rds away on Feb 6th and the Hawks will play Preston Grasshoppers at home on Feb 6th.

A limited number of tickets are available for Sale v Toulouse at Edgeley Park next Sunday, Jan 24th (it’s not on TV). Contact Keith behind the bar or director of rugby Daz Lucas.
