St Helens team in Wigan Plate semisA St. Helens based team in the Wigan Plate semi-final, what's going on I hear you say. The saga started when Golborne had to pull out and we were asked to take their place in the competition. St. Cuthbert's being a league above us by the rules of the comp... Readmore |
Gone but not forgottenBefore the game started, there was a minutes silence for Leon Walker. Leon had tragically died during the Celtic Crusaders v Wakefield reserve team game the previous weekend. It was performed impeccably by everyone in attendance, thank you. Haydock started the game a little slowly with a number of handling... Readmore |
Haydock Slug It OutHaydock never looked like losing this game but were forced to work hard for the victory by a robust Hornets side.

So Close To The LineThis was a very competitive game by both sides, the final score line didn't tell the full story of the game. The game kicked off in perfect spring conditions and both sides made the most of the weather playing running rugby league. Haydock had the first scoring chance when... Readmore |
Saving the Best for LastThe Weather was just right for playing the best game of the season, we have struggled all year with squad numbers, and availability of players. Today was no difference, out of a squad of 17 we only had 14 players who were able to take to the field. We had... Readmore |
Windy Win For HaydockHaydock got off to a great start in this game despite playing against a strong wind in the first half. But both sides found it easier to play against the wind and the home side found themselves hanging on at the end of this enthralling contest. From the kick off,... Readmore |
Back to basicsHaydock took to the field to try and execute a completely different game plan than the one used all season. This was because they were without key backs in Danny White and Connor Calland, who were both unavailable for the game. It was decided that we would go back... Readmore |
Dollin Excels In DefeatA young Haydock second string with only fourteen players played some terrific handling rugby and made the home side work hard for the points in this see saw encounter.

Four Points At The End Of The RainbowWhat a day I arrived at 10 o'clock to set up the pitch with the help from three of the players, and in racing terms the going was good to soft, the opposition arrived at Haydock, (due to an overload of teams at Shevington the fixture was reversed). And everybody... Readmore |
Roose RoutedHaydock played host to Cumbrian Team Roose in this North-West Counties Division 1 match. Roose were suffering from having several first-teamers taken by the Barrow Club and were severely weakened as a result. Haydock, while not at full strength themselves, were just too strong for their opposition and ran... Readmore |
It's a ThrillerThis game had it all; Big Hits, Slick Handling and a bit of "Biff" to round it off. Both teams can take pride in putting on such a show but it was Haydock who took the points. Travelling to Bold was always going to be a tough encounter for... Readmore |
Unlucky bounce and confidenceHaydock took to the field a little short on confidence, but in lovely conditions for rugby league. The game started with both sides showing their clear intentions to open the game up at every opportunity. This led to game that flowed from one end of the pitch to the... Readmore |
Haydock Have Ten Try Game.A wonderful day for a rugby match and I'm not just saying that because we won, the weather was just right, not to hot and with just a slight breeze, the first day of spring and it showed.From the kick of Haydock let the opposition know they were in for... Readmore |
Doubly disappointingFor the second week running Haydock had to travel without a number of their big guns, through a mixture of holidays and illness. This again caused the team's structure and system to have to change, especially with winger Connor Calland missing from the back line. (Get well soon Sally).... Readmore |
Bears Avenge Early Season DefeatAfter a three week lay off and only 15 players available to play, Haydock were always facing an uphill struggle against a strong West Bank team, who were on a high after beating the league leaders last week. The only thing was nobody expected the hill to be so... Readmore |
