Widnes win Northern Rail Cup
I’ve finally broke my duck. I finally have a sporting memory worthy of being my best. Sunday 12th July 2009, Widnes Vikings 34 Barrow Raiders 18. Before the game, I felt that this had to be it – defeat, and obviously it’s me. I had missed the 2007 triumph against Whitehaven in the same competition […]
Peel Hall 6-3 Crosfields
Crosfields lost their last game of the season to Peel Hall. Crosfields went ahead through Matt Gardner but that goal was soon cancelled out at the other end. The game stayed pretty even throughout the first although the score at half time was Peel Hall three Crosfields one. In the second half Crosfields pulled the […]
Crosfields 2-5 Cromwell
Crosfields lost again in terrible fashion against a Cromwell team who played with just eight men. After a goalless first half Crosfields manager took off defender Daniel French and Cromwell went 4-1 up. Kirby brought French back but it was too late the damage had been done. Crosfields created loads of chances and should have […]
Crosfields 1-11 Bruche

The first half performance was okay but in the second half they fell apart and to make it worse they lost ‘keeper Stuart Hitchen through a leg injury. He was […]
Crosfields 1-5 Newton
Crosfields had a good game against Newton but went down 5-1. Crosfields didn’t deserve to concede as many as they did and the score really was flattering for Newton. In the first half Crosfields could have got back into the game. Substitute Josh Grimward missed a penalty after Nick Hamblett had been brought down in […]
Fife 11-5 Crosfields
Crosfields were embarrassingly beaten by nearest rivals Fife despite a slight comeback in the second half. In the first half Crosfields were terrible. They defended awfully and Fife scored after just thirteen seconds. It was 5-0 after ten minutes and it seemed like another battering for Crosfields. They went in at half time with the […]
Crosfields 1-6 Moorfields
After the performance of last week Crosfields will feel disappointed they didn’t do better. A few uncharacteristic mistakes from Crosfields ‘keeper Hitchen gave Moorfield the perfect start. Hitchen wasn’t to blame though. Crosfields showed the same spirit and determination but they didn’t attack as well as last week. They had glimpses of the Moorfield goal […]
