'Burn bright as spring sunshine

A bitter wind blew through the streets of Tarleton last Sunday and headed straight for the Rugby fields, where we camped our pitch as close to the windbreak of the clubhouse as possible.

11 hardy souls braved the cold and supporters were not only warmed by the fantastic Tarleton hospitality, bacon butties and strong tea, but also by the quality of the play laid before them by both sides. We played 4 7 minute quarters by the end of which a draw was agreed a fair result. Video evidence, 2 ipads recorded the games, suggest the referee of quarter 3 and 4 should get shares in specsavers, but the truth be told the 11 on show were given a masterclass in defending and tackling in order to hone their skills for the upcoming tourneys. Everyone on this evidence has made excellent progress and picking teams for the tourneys will be a nightmare.

Rochdale rock up to our place this Sunday, please be on site for 10 this week as we want to KO by 10.30 due to security for the soccer game later in the morning.
