There were plenty of games played today thanks to the usual climate conditions arriving back off holiday. It was nice to see some decent rugby being played as well, with some interesting scores to ponder before the season kicks off for real.
I went to the Leigh Sports Village to see the home team take on a full strength Warrington side, where Richie Myler scored four tries to make sure his team won 60-16. Elsewhere George Carmont scored in the last minute to deny Wakefield a win, resulting in Wigan's 40-38 victory. Huddersfield's academy side edged out Whitehaven at the Recreation Ground 22-24. Over at Humberside, Hull FC won 28-16 against their dear rivals from the east of the city, Hull KR. Salford thrashed Swinton 50-12 while Featherstone saw off Blackpool 20-10 at the newly named Bigfellas Stadium. Doesn't quite have the same ring as the Chris Moyles Stadium, does it?
These were just a few scores I was able to get hold of at this time. But at the end of the day I'm just glad rugby league is getting back into the swing of things ahead of the new season. Its been too long since England lost to Australia in Leeds. There are only twelve days until the start of the new season. I for one, cannot wait!
