Best wishes to Capenhurst RUFC

The last few weeks has seen the squad dwindle due to work committments/injuries/holidays etc - despite the results in the league we have worked through the weeks to get a squad - however this week we struggled too much and had no alternative but to concede the cup game to Capenhurst. The decision was not taken lightly as it would have been great to meet up with a team we met in last years cup final. We apologise to Capenhurst for the non game but we wish them well for the remainder of the season. Also apologies to Reg Robinson and the league for conceding.

The results in the cup saw some interesting scores with the victorious teams now going onto the quarter finals and only two games away for a slot at finals day.
The Bowl competition is from teams in 3 North and 3 South - the teams in 3 North progressing were:-
Penrith 2nds - they received a bye from Lymm 3rds.
Clitheroe - their excellent season keeps going as they claimed a decent victory away at Southport 3rds - Clitheroe got to finals day last year and will be looking to go one better this season - we wish them well.
Tarleton 2nds - they keep racking up the points as they have over the last few weeks as they claimed an excellent victory over Holmes Chapel 1sts.
Rochdale 3rds - they got over their 100 point defeat last weekend as they beat Broughton Park 3rds in a high scoring game.
Thornton Cleveleys 2nds - another team who lost by 100 last week - but a remarkable turnaround in results saw them victorious by 83 - 14 away at Carrington 1sts (the hosts have accused Thornton of loading their team on social media but Cleveleys dont work like that) so an excellent win for the Thornton squad.
The last 8 sees the above 5 teams plus 3 from Division 3 South - Capenhurst, Widnes 2nds and Village Spartans.
We wish all the teams well in the competition.
Carnforth - we need to re-group / attend training Tuesday / commit to Saturday as we travel to face Thornton Cleveleys for a 3pm kick off.
