Crosfields ARLFC - Welcome

Good afternoon and a warm welcome to Crosfields ARLFC at the Webb Security Recreation Ground, for the opening game of the 2019 season.
Today, we welcome the players, supporters and officials from Clock Face Miners, for today’s Kingstone Press NCL Division Two Round Three game.
Clock Face Miners were promoted last season through the play-offs, beating Woolston Rovers at home 19-6, then beating Millom away 12-16.
This season’s opening game was away at relegated Shaw Cross Sharks and , despite scoring four tries apiece, Clock went down 24-16, with Luke Leyden scoring
a hat-trick of tries and Karl Hunt the other, with Webster tagging on two conversions.
Last week, Clock’s opposition were in the Coral Challenge Cup, so found themselves with a blank weekend.
Crosfields opened the season with a good victory over Bradford Dudley Hill, with Nathan Taylor picking up a hat-trick, with Luke Walker, Jack Reid and Hayden
James also crossing. Reid added 5 goals and Jack Lewis slotted a drop goal.
Last week however, we were below the level we expect to be at and went down 33-16 at Askam. Taylor, Walker and John Whittaker crossed for tries, with Walker
and Reid adding conversions.
This year marks the 30th Anniversary of Crosfields winning the BNFL BARLA National Cup. Throughout the season, we will take trips down memory lane to
celebrate the achievement and will hold a special re-union day, towards the middle of the season. Today, Round One, Crosfields v Jubilee (Featherstone).
There will be a minute’s silence before today’s kick off, in memory of Paul Hodgkinson, who we tragically lost last year. Paul would have been 50 years old today.
Our Sponsor Focus today is on Anthony’s Travel, who have provided coaches for our away games for over 5 years and their service has been excellent. I thank
Richard and his team and all our sponsors, for their continued support.
We continue to be challenged by the junior and youth leagues fixture programme. Last week we had just two home games, but tomorrow we have 9. Extra work
for the kitchen and bar staff, but we’ve already shown we can cope by hosting ELEVEN games two weeks ago. ☺
Good luck to everyone involved today.

Yours in Sport
Mike Donnison

Crosfields ARLFC – In My View, by Phil Hodgson

                                  THERE are occasions when, on seeing a scoreline in a paper or on a website, you’re almost forced into a `double-take’, wondering whether your
                                  eyes have deceived you.
                                  That happened to me on Saturday night when I checked on the result in the BetFred Super League clash between Catalans Dragons and Salford
                                  Red Devils.
                                  I’d been covering the Coral Challenge Cup tie between Hunslet and West Bowling (who performed really well, despite the 56-10 scoreline,
                                  incidentally) and had been travelling home - to my, desk to deal with other Cup, plus BARLA National Cup and Kingstone Press National
                                  Conference League reports – while the match was being screened live on Sky, so I’d no idea about who had won.
                                  I’d have fancied the Dragons beforehand, to be honest, although I wouldn’t have been surprised by a Salford victory. But 46-0? Never in a
million years would I have anticipated a margin of that magnitude, especially as the Frenchmen had done so well in edging Warrington Wolves the previous week, while the Red
Devils had come off very much second best against St Helens.
Perhaps those two games were a factor in the scoreline in Perpignan. Mindset is so important in sport, and there were hints in one or two reports I’ve read that the Dragons took
victory for granted.
On closer inspection, though, there seems to have been little between the sides until close to half-time when Salford, having notched an early try, suddenly began to cut loose. On
that basis it seems that the Red Devils may more have grown into the game than given Catalans a shock, although the Dragons will certainly have been stunned in the end.
Whenever I see results such as those I’m reminded of a surprising scoreline from yesteryear.
One was from way before my time, in the 1953-54 season, when Liverpool City hosted Warrington in a league match.
This was in the era of a 30-team single league. City, as usual, were near the bottom of the table, while the Wire would finish the season with three major trophies, lifting the
Challenge Cup, the Championship and the Lancashire League. Indeed, if they’d managed to win the Lancashire Cup they’d have joined Hunslet, Huddersfield and Swinton in
pulling off the magnificent All Four Cups feat.
Liverpool that day, though, were no respecters of reputations.
Warrington returned from Knotty Ash humbled by a 5-2 defeat. Keith Macklin, in his superb book `The Rugby League Game’ recounted: “The reaction to the result in
Warrington was as humorous as it was predictable. When the football editions of the newspapers appeared on the streets stay-at-home supporters bought a paper, looked twice
at the result, then went back to the newsboy and bought another paper, convinced there had been a misprint.
“It was a great moment for Rugby League, for nothing is more tedious than the foregone conclusion.”
That’s how the scoreline in France, if not the result itself, will always resonate with me .

Crosfields ARLFC – Round One

Saturday 2nd March 2019 - Crosfields 33 Bradford Dudley Hill 20
Crosfields opened the 2019 campaign with an excellent victory against Bradford Dudley Hill at the Webb Security Recreation Ground.
It looked like it was going to be Crosfields’ day from the first set. Luke Walker chipped through on the fourth tackle. The v isitors full back seemed to have the ball
covered, but slipped at the crucial moment and Walker followed up, hacking the ball on and winning the race to touch down. Jack Reid converted for a lead of 6-nil.
BDH immediately put pressure on Crosfields, who were working the ball out from their own line. Reid spotted an opportunity and his long pass found Walker, who broke
through the opposition line, racing to the half way, before drawing the full-back and feeding Nathan Taylor to sprint the last 50 metres for the try. Reid converted and
Crosfields were looking good at 12-nil.
BDH recovered well with their big pack driving hard, but it was quick hands to the wing, which saw Damian Smith go over in the corner.
The first penalty of the game gave BDH possession and position to mount another attack, which brought the reward, with a similar play moving the ball wide for Martin
Southwell to touch down in the corner. Kyle Bateman converted superbly from the touchline, to reduce the arrears at 12-10.
Crosfields put themselves on the back foot, when conceding penalties, giving BDH three consecutive sets to the Crosfields line and the defence was eventually broken,
when Seb Russo went over from acting half to put his in front 12-14.
Reid steady the ship again for Crosfields, working with the forwards to push the play deep into opposition territory, then caught out the defence with a dummy, to go over
                                                                                                                                                                                 Luke Walker
for a try and to regain the lead for his side at 16-14.
The bigger BDH pack tired towards the end of the first half and John Whittaker made a great break to set Crosfields up for another attack. Reid chipped through to the
corner were Taylor was on hand to score.
Minutes later the home side were over again. A steady set from the pack took the team into the opposition half. Reid’s towering up and under, split the full-back and
wing, who unfortunately for BDH both attacked the ball, knocking each other over, for Taylor to pick up the loose ball to score. Reid converted for a half time lead of 26-
14.
The half time rest was welcome relief for BDH and they started the brighter of the two sides after the break. The pack worked hard to take the play deep into Crosfields’
half, then a grubber to the corner was pounced upon by Smith for his second, whilst Bateman converted again from the touchline to get within one score of the home
side at 26-20.
Crosfields looked to be on the scoresheet next, only for them to be pulled back for offside.
Walker then went close, but in taking the ball dead, refused to release it and was sin-binned for a professional foul.
BDH could not take advantage of the extra man, as Crosfields defence held firm.
On Walker’s return, Crosfields played a steady set, taking play close to the posts, where Jack Lewis slotted a drop goal for a 7-point lead, 27-20.
Minutes later Joran Williams broke through and a superb pass to the supporting Hayden James saw him race in from 20 metres. Reid converted to complete the scoring
and a deserved victory at 33-20.                                                                                                                                                 Jack Reid
Jack Reid was awarded the Crosfields man of the match, whilst BDH’s went to Seb Russo.
                                                                                                                                                                              John Whittaker

Crosfields ARLFC – Round Two

                  Saturday 9th March 2019
                  Askam 34 Crosfields 16
                  Crosfields crashed to defeat at Askam, as the home side controlled the ball and manged the weather conditions much better than the visitors.
                  From the kick off, Crosfields couldn’t stop the ball going dead and Askam had the first possession.
                  The wind was strong and both sides played tight sets, until Crosfields gave away a penalty on the last tackle and the attrition from the big Askam forward broke the
                  Crosfields line for the opening converted try and a 6-nil lead.
                  With Askam’s confidence raised for this match having been beaten 72-nil in the opening round at West Bowling, they worked steadily down-field and a fortuitous bounce
                  from a kick on the last, collected by Askam had Crosfields on the back foot. John Whittaker looked to have stopped the attack, but an offload in the tackle saw Askam go
                  over for another converted try. 12-nil.
                  I a rare foray into Askam territory, Crosfields gained a penalty on the last tackle, which turned out to be their only repeat set of the game. Nathan Taylor looked to have
                  scored in the corner, but the effort was disallowed for a forward pass.
                  A few minutes later, Jordan Williams forced a knock following a deep kick downfield. A steady set from the Crosfields pack set position, for Jack Reid to feed Whittaker
                  inside on a set play, for the visitors’ opening try. Reid converted for 12-6.
  Joe Clarke      Just before the half-time break, Askam were awarded a penalty for a high tackle, which was duly despatched for a half time lead on Askam 14 Crosfields 6.
                  Crosfields’ expectations were high starting the second half downhill with the wind behind them, but they were unable to secure enough ball to mount any real pressure.
                                                                       An early sign of what was to come, as Crosfields gave away the first of four consecutive penalties in the second half.
                                                                       The repeat set was defended well, but the visitors dropped the ball on the first tackle and Askam took full advantage
                                                                       and crashed over for a converted try. 20-6.
                                                                       Five minutes later, Crosfields knocked on again close to their own line and Askam worked their tried and tested solid
                                                                       drives and crashed over on the fourth. 24-6.
                                                                       Coach Ian Boden decided to change around his troops in a bid to break down the opposition and get his team on the
                                                                       front foot, but two sin-bins in two minutes for Jack Lewis and Williams, thwarted the action as Crosfields were reduced
                                                                       to 11 players.
                                                                       Two more tries were conceded, with one conversion in this critical period, with Askam leading 34-6.
                  Finally, Boden was able to make his changes and Crosfields suddenly received three consecutive penalties, to take them forward. Hayden James went close, then Luke
                  Walker chipped to the corner, where Taylor collected for a try.
  Scott Turton    Then, in stoppage time, Walker produced a great break from his own half, rounding the full-back to score. He quickly kicked the conversion, but there was no time to re-
Jordan Williams   start the game, as Askam took the spoils at 34-16.
                  The pack worked hard, but too little possession and too much tackling took its toll. Phil Brazendale was the pick of the pack, whilst Taylor and Walker looked dangerous
                  on the few occasions that they had the ball. Jack Reid’s organisation and determination earned him the Crosfields man of the match award.

                 The Alliance opened the 2019 campaign with an excellent victory at Ecclestone Lions.
                 After a short period of resistance from the home side, Crosfields were soon in control. Tries were plentiful in the opening half, with the game
                 over by half time, as Crosfields led 4-26.
                 The visitors improved in the second half, keeping the tiring home side scoreless.
                 Memorable tries from Alex Clutterbuck, Bailey Hartley, Tay Boyne, Lou Wainwright, Aaron Holliday (2), Jack Williams and Nathan Hamilton, with
                 Brad Stanway kicking 6 goals.
                 Sam Hughes and Jack Williams had excellent performances, with Lou Wainwright judged man-of-the-match.

Aaron Holliday
                 Saturday 9th March 2019 – Crosfields Alliance 12 Burtonwood Bridge 28
                 The Alliance’s first appearance of the season at the Webb Security Recreation Ground ended in defeat, as Burtonwood Bridge exacted some
                 revenge following the Alliance’s last minute victory in the Warrington Cup.
                 The Alliance started well and on 10 minutes Aaron Holliday, crossed for a try and Brad Stanway converted.
                 The lead doubled 10 minutes later as Crosfields chased a kick which bounced kindly and Alex Clutterbuck won the chase for the ball. Stanway
                 kicked his second goal for a 12-nil lead.
                 Two tries before the break, by Jack Graham and Will Weir, followed by a penalty from Jos Woods brought Burtonwood back into the game. Half
                 time Alliance 12- Burtonwood Bridge 10.
                 The second half belonged to the visitors, with Jack O’Neill, Rikki St Peir and Almer Salvilla scoring tries and Woods slotting three more goals, for
                 a final score of Alliance 12 Burtonwood Bridge 28.

                 Today the Alliance are away against Leigh East A.

Good afternoon and a warm welcome to Clock Face Miners, to the
Webb Security Recreation Ground.
This being our local derby of the season, we are sure to have a
close, tight game.
Starting the season off against Bradford Dudley Hill. We competed
with much bigger opponents and in the end, it was our effort and
class that has shown through.
Last week, I think our attitude lost us the game, before we even
passed a ball. With Askam coming off the back off a big loss and us
thinking we only had to turn up to win, which came back to bite us
on the backside and gave us a grounding we needed.
We need a much improved performance this week and a lot better
attitude.

Good luck to the boys and let’s rectify our mistakes from last week.
Thank, Ian.

Crosfields ARLFC – Masters AGM – www.rugby-league.com - 26/02/2019

                                                   The Annual General Meeting of Masters Rugby League took place at Crosfields ARLFC, Warrington at the
                                                   weekend with almost 20 Member clubs in attendance.
                                                   The day saw the usual AGM business dispensed with and the 2019 Masters Rugby League year was officially
                                                   launched with a photo call for the Clubs.
                                                   Chairman of Masters Rugby League, John Wroe, was full of praise for achievements of Masters in 2018 which
                                                   included hosting the incoming Australia Masters tour, over 30 Masters travelling down to Ille sur Tet to help develop
                                                   Masters in France as well as the total number of registered teams hitting 40 for the first time.
                                                   He was also enthusiastic about the prospects for 2019 when again the Galia Tots (Ille sur Tet) will host over 40
                                                   Masters from England during June, Great Britain Masters will make their 4th tour to Australia and the number of
                                                   domestic clubs is set to grow further.
Secretary, Martin Flynn, reported the details of 2018 with 161 opportunities to play Masters in the year, up from 36 in 2014. He added that 14 new clubs had already
expressed interest in forming Masters teams for 2019.
The independently reviewed Masters accounts for 2018 were presented and showed the Masters game to be in a good position although with many potential
challenges ahead. Martin also confirmed that donations to Masters chosen charity, the Rugby League Benevolent Fund increased to over £4000.
The formal AGM was followed by an Open Forum for member clubs to air subjects of interest and make suggestion on moving Masters forward. In a lively session
topics from referees to international development were discussed.
Perhaps the highlight of the day was the official announcement of the launch of Women's Masters Rugby League. This new variant of Rugby League is for female
players over the age of 30 and will be played to the same law modifications as Mens Masters.
Chairman of Masters Rugby League, John Wroe was enthusiastic about the prospects for Women's Masters Rugby League, as he looked forward to the Women
joining the Masters family.
Women's Masters Lead, Kath Wilson is looking forward to first game in March and reported: "The reaction on social media has already been tremendous.”
At the end of the meeting, there was a round of applause for their efforts over the last year to all the members of the Masters Management Board, all of whom give
their time and hard work freely to the Masters community.
Here's to another great year of Masters Rugby League in 2019.
