Weekend Preview

Play at last?

Thursday, 16 February 2012By Roger Holmes

Rugby returns to Littlemoor, on the pitch anyway, this weekend.

Bob's 2nd XV welcome Leigh Vikings for the return match from earlier in the season, where a young speedy set of backs made some of the more elder statesmen in the pack feel very old indeed.
Although having played only once since the turn of the year, it was a convincing home win, so they go into just the second game of 2012 ..err...unbeaten!

Kick off is 2.15pm and our referee from the Manchester Soc. is Mr. Peter Bramwell.

Meanwhile the 1sts make the short trip over the 'wrong side' of Pendle to Holt House home of Colne & Nelson RFC.
It's always a tough derby match at Colne and although at the bottom end of the table they have had a few good wins of late.
Ollie Mac's troops will be looking to erase the memory of the 24-0 reverse at Littlemoor in October. A horror show 1st half, leaking in all the points led to a totally scoreless 2nd half.

kick off again is 2.15pm
