A VIEW FROM THE TOUCHLINE

I would like to wish you all a very warm welcome to The Limestone Construction Field, Monks Sports Club this afternoon for our game against Wigan St Judes in the Impact Performance National Conference League Division Two.

We welcome the players, supporters and committee of St Judes to Woolston and hope that they have had a safe journey and enjoy our hospitality today.

Last time out Rovers suffered a narrow 24-18 defeat to league leaders Waterhead Warriors in a very high quality game with both sides giving their all for the full eighty minutes; the game could have gone either way but unfortunately the bounce of the ball just went against us but if we can produce that type of performance on a consistent basis then we will give ourselves a great chance of being in the promotion shake up come the end of the season.

St Judes have had three wins from their last four games so come into the game in fine form so we will need to be at our best if we are to get the win; personally it will be nice to meet up with second row Kieran Rennox played for the Warrington Wolves Academy up until the end of 2021 before returning to his old club; ‘Reggie’ is a great character and I look forward to having a beer with him after the game.

Our NWML side produced a gutsy display at Golborne Parkside in their last game before losing 42-16; it was a vastly improved performance on the previous week against a quality side. They are back in action next weekend with a home game against league leaders Burtonwood Bridge; please come along if you can and give them your support. The game kicks off at 2.30pm.

Our very first Beer Festival will take place on Friday 30th June and Saturday 1st July; please keep your eyes peeled to our social Media channels for further details over the next couple of weeks. There is also a poster regarding this in today’s programme.

Also in the programme you can find the fixtures for our Junior teams who play tomorrow. There are only a couple of home games due to the Magic Weekend so please come down and watch our Under 7s and Under 9s if you can and show them your support. Our Under 11s are also in action on Monday evening at home but the kick off time is yet to be confirmed.

Thanks for your attendance today and we hope to see you again very soon. Why not bring a friend along with you next time and introduce them to the Rovers!!!
