It's clear that Div 5 will once again be a very competitive place to play this season.



Some big changes will happen at Newton in the next week or so...watch this space!!

That was for a high tackle mate by another member of the team, i did my Paul Scholes effort but another lad went too high too.



Good luck for rest of season

Some very close ones again - reckon Bolton will be too strong for Wigan, St Cuthbert's over Chorley, gotta go with Bury over Eccleston, Newton-Westhoughton will be very tight, having played and beaten them both in the last month it's hard to call but just gonna give it to Newton, Wild Boars should just pip Rylands in another close one, and Crosfields over Widnes.



Bolton Mets vs Wigan Bulldogs

Chorley Panthers vs Wigan St Cuthbert's A

Eccleston Lions vs Bury Broncos

Newton Storm vs Westhoughton Lions

St Helens Wild Boars vs Rylands Sharks A

Widnes Tigers vs Crosfields

Come on, we're all waiting!!

St.Helens Wild Boars 24-10 Rylands



lots off mistakes from both sides today but our defence was awsome!! we was down to 9 men at 1 point through sin bins but we held them out.. we switched off last 15 mins and let them score twice. good team effort from our boys

Eccleston Lions 30 - 18 Bury Broncos





We just didn't switch on. Eccleston started strong but couldn't break us down and Bury scored first, then it was tit-for-tat with Bury deservedly leading 10-12 at half time. First 15 mins of the second half we were awful, couldn't tackle, kept dropping the ball in our 20, giving penalties away, etc. A team as strong as Eccleston will always punish that and ran in 3 tries. Thought Eccleston were good, seemed to read our game and controlled the ruck area very well, ran hard and their defence was tight (though we didn't help by sending our forwards in one at a time!!). And they seem to be getting bigger!!!



Other results:

Bolton Mets 16 - 34 Wigan Bulldogs

Chorley Panthers 22 - 26 Wigan St Cuthbert's A

Newton Storm 6 - 24 Westhoughton Lions

St Helens Wild Boar 24 - 10 Rylands Sharks A

Widnes Tigers 14 - 12 Crosfields

Did you play Cronus?was a good game.both side's played some decent rugby at times.

No, still trying to get my knee fixed. Played against you last year at our place though.



Yeah was a good entertaining game and played in good spirit, you boys took control for longer periods than we did and did the what I was trying to tell our lot to do! God knows why, but they didn't listen.



Looking forward to the return! (might be fixed by then)

I wasnt training and couldnt make it Saturday, but im led to believe weve had a few players sign on of very high quality, with super league experience.



I'll believe it when i see it with my own eyes, tuesdays training should be interesting....

Looking forward to it.

got to be disappointed with losing at weekend then!?

Have faith!





A couple of new faces will be joining the existing coaching staff at Newton Storm this week. Both coaches are from Newton and are experienced Academy coaches from a SL club. Some new players will be joining the team too, two/three for sure on Tuesday this week with others to follow in coming weeks.



All the lads have bought into what the club are trying to do and hopefully this will give the OA a big boost and will help them turn things around.

I hope so mate, looking forward to it
