Another fantastic weekend for the senior section.

We should be proud and we should be excited.

1sts, Lions, 3TM and colts winning on a busy Saturday.

Despite not firing on all cylinders the 1st team squad made it 4 in 4 against Ilkley. Again showing our heart and fitness with some late scores.

A fairly even first 30 on a windy day, we pulled 2 scores just before half time to lead 15-5, Kirby, Peter and Dixon.

The second half we had another wobble, again showing that in this league the moment you step off the gas you will be punished. We extended the lead to 22-5 through Dixon but Ilkley as expected came back to bring it close at 22-19. Fortunately we pulled ourselves together to score again with hat trick hero Kirby. 34-19

Happy with the win but we have so much more to give, I think the prospect of a real tough test at Rossendale will bring this out in the squad. We have never won there, it’s something on our list to tick off!

Depleted and lads playing in foreign positions the Lions continued their equally impressive start beating DMP away 32-19. Hugely impressed with the desire of the senior section at the minute, really pulling together to get these results. 3 huge away wins for the lads with a tough one coming this week.

Finally the 3TM got a game, thanks to Whitby for making the trip! Great to see the lads getting some time and even better seeing some of them training! Great win 60-7

The colts travelled to Northern again with injuries! But pulled off a fanatic result winning 70-12. Some great work done by the lads and coaches bringing 2 teams together playing the Billingham way.

It’s been a fantastic start, all to do with the work done at training. People really stepping up with plenty of serious talent to come back into the equation.

Another big week coming up!
