Fax 13

Cougars 12



Lost the second half 1-0 after taking an almighty battering. Our defence was awesome.

Your defence in the second half was great.Bucket collection for bradford raised £2.67pence well done to everyone .

Gutted we got so close without a better result. That was a great local derby.

Well done boys. Came away with nothing but pride, boll**ks to super league.

Nothing but praise for Keighley, you came with a plan and it didn't half work in shutting us down. Fair play to JD he's pulled together a very talented squad that made you look a division above us at times, your attack was well organised and sharp and your defence was solid. You guys will be well up there come the end of the season and I look forward to my trip to Cougar Park.

Damn , wish I could have gone to that.......sounded awesome !!



Well done Cougars

Thanks DARE kind words, very proud of the lads tonight even in defeat, we have a lot to look forward to.

Stealths post title sums tonight up so well ...we were fantastic and gave Halifax a real battle ..but I still came out of the Shay cursing our defeat ..



This was no go at our boys but more an indication of how far JD has taken us ...



The Cougar Army were yet again amazing , it was at times, Swinton all over again and praise must go to the vast majority of Fax fans who were happy to concede they had been in a real battle.



Watch out the Wire you have a right game on your hands..

Cougars were fantastic tonight.



The fans even more so. Cracking atmosphere.

Every respect for the cougars. You played a full part in what for me was a good but not great game. we (halifax) never looked fluent and whilst I felt there was a lot of laying on that went unpunished you had a game plan that very nearly did the job

Overall a very enjoyable evening and i think cougars will go well and suprise a few people along the way. Good luck to you and I'm looking forward to the return fixture especially with a few of Mr Taylor's brew thrown in

I have had my reservations about the bonus point system but it seems to be justified in games like that and the Fev game, When the team plays like that,even if they lose they deserve something, and, in fact, the bonus point we got today pushed us above Dewsbury and into 3rd place.

A fantastic performance last night. Who would have imagined us matching (if not bettering) the likes of Halifax 12 months ago? A real shame about the result, but great to take the bonus point.



Full credit to JD and the players, things are really coming together. We improve week on week and I think there's more to come.



Bring on the rebirth of Cougarmania!
