Would like to thank all for great night last night at the sportsmans dinner, also would like to thank all who help out as well, great job john

Bored at work the other day and read the history of St Helens Rec/Pilkingtons Recs that my brother sent me over. It was a good read. I always knew that St Helens sustained 2 professional clubs for a period and found it surprising that Recs were so sucessful. How crazy would it have been if they survived and St Helens still had a derby day!! After speaking with my family, it seems that following recs in end in 1939 my grandads brother (the only recs fan in the family) began to follow Wigan week in week out as opposed to St Helens. He was also a big fan of Pilks later.

Good site, keep up the good work.

A big well done to Pilks u14s who today competed in the Saddleworth U14s tournament , played 3 games against Chorley , Saddleworth and Waterhead and came away unbeaten. Every player can be very proud of there efforts who gave there all , and are now starting to believe in there abilities.Confidence breeds confidence and this was evident today to all parents and coaches alike , well done lads, keep up the good work and be positive in all that you do.

to no name you are not able to play for u13's if really you are 14 you have to play for the right age group which is u14's or if you are good enough you could always play for the team above which would be u15's.sorry hope this helps because it wouldn't be fair to let you play if you are to old for the team.you can play above your age but not below it. this you understand is a ruling from barla and also for insurance purposes.see contact details if you are still intersested.

presentation for last seasons under 12s cougars + pumas will start at 2pm at the cricket club.

The Under 12's presentation is still on as planned.

This is no more than this set of lads Deserve they have worked hard all season and hopfully we will Take this on to next season and fully challenge for the Championship. Well done to all the Lads! .

what a credit both the pumas and cougars are to the club. the pumas with their 14-0 win and superb rugby, to pick up the trophy. then the cougars, although they did not win their game, what a brilliant display of rugby. a end to end battle, in which either side could of won. unlucky for us, it was saddleworth. but with two u12 teams like ours, no wonder we are still proud. three finals two trophies and fifteen playing for the service area, keep it up and maybe next year, we might even do better....

Dave/Alan,
PLease thank your players & sub's for the way they conducted thereselves at the under 12's final at Blackpool on the 29/4/07, you were all a credit to your club and coaching staff Dave Roughey no matter what you and your coaching Staff & Chderyl have always been grasious in defect, the sub's were such a laugh and the support you had from the young lads (who were no more than 9 years old ) from behind the players dugout,was fantastic.

I have to say that some Pilks Pumas coaching staff was still living in the grease era, but he looked good, just nissed the tight jeans @ dark glasses lol x

I WUD LIK 2 APOLERGISE FOR MY BEHAVIOUR ON THIS SITE , IE MAKIN CHILDISH COMMENTS ABOUT A RESPECTED MEMBER OF THE PILKS COACHIN STAFF. I WUD ONCE AGIAN LIK TO SEY SORRY TO ANY 1 I MIGHT OF AFFENDED

Sometimes the most simple things can be overlooked. In a time when alot of effort is put into recruiting new players into clubs, one small but significant aspect to get right is that first night the new person comes to training at the local amateur club and their introduction to life at a club.

The attached 1 page document pulls together some good practice from Clubmark Clubs and everything listed already happens at the majority of clubs, it is after all just common sense. I don't want this to come across as teaching people to 'suck eggs' it is i feel an important matter and one the game must get right if it is to continue to grow.

What should clubs do with ?First Timers??
All of this is just common sense however it is surprising just how many times the simple things are overlooked. The following points are guidelines for clubs as to what to do when they get a new person attend their training session. It is recommended good practice that all clubs adopt a standard approach to newcomers ? does this happen at your club?

All new members at the first training session will be:

1. Shook hands with by the team coach, welcomed to the club and asked their name.

2. Introduced to the team ? their name and where they have come from i.e. school

3. Formally introduced to two players before training who will be asked to look after the person during the session and ensure they are coping and made welcome by other team-mates

4. Provided with a ?Club Welcome Pack? containing membership details, contact details, season fixture list/calendar etc. (A stack of welcome packs should always be held by each coach in the boot of their car).

5. Spoken to after the coaching session by the coach, listen to them on how it went and encouraged to continue

6. Spoken to along with their parents, there parents told about the club, its code of conduct for matchdays, volunteering opportunities and of course that their child showed some great promise and the club really enjoyed having him/her turn up.

7. Asked to sign registration forms or leave contact details (if appropriate)

Why should clubs always do points 1-6 for every new member?
Point 1: Welcomes them to the club in a formal and friendly way, eases their nerves & ensures their presence is not missed
P2: Gives the rest of the team opportunity to relate to the person and make contact (then or further on into the session)
P3: Immediately gives the person two buddies and someone who will talk with them
P4: Provides literature for the new person and their family to read following the session
P5: Ensures the person has opportunity to speak to the coach, ask any questions etc.
P6: Parents of child are reassured, welcomed to the club (Rugby League is a family sport) & have the opportunity to ask any questions

hi jon i have been trying to email you a team pic for under 9's and a match report but it keeps bouncing back.i have sent other emails and they have been fine so i don't know if the prob at my end or yours and this is the only way i could contact you.could you get back to me please many thanks tracy

to conners mum i think the right age group for conner is the 8s as he is only 9 in september.the age grouping works on school years and not birth year.although conner can still play for the 9s as children are allowed to play a year above their age.the choice is yours. look on the contacts page for jeff or tony .we train on thursdays at 6 pm city road

Thanks to all the coaches who turned up at last nights meeting.

I have a son who is 8 he will be 9 in september. we have just relocated from cumbria where he used to play rugby for under 10's he would like to start playing here so does anyone know if there are any spaces for him and who i should contact?

hi conners mum my son plays for u9's and i'm sure thats the age group that your son falls into.your son is very welcome to come and join us the coaches name is neil clarke if you click on teams and then under 9's his number is on that page.there is training this sat at 11:30 bishop road.give neil a ring and he will confirm the training times.hope to see you soon tracyx

Well done pumas for a hard fought win yesterday. A good team performance and some excellent individual skills shown, KEEP UP THE HARD WORK. Also well done firstly to St Pats for a great gameand secondly the referee as it was only his 2nd game ever in charge and his first was for the cougars v Orrel which finished 10 mins earlier.

NO THANKS!

Can 'The Thinker' please keep their thoughts to themselves, the draw on Tuesday night was made fair and square and comments like yours will only damage the reputation of the club and the team, if wish to respond please email me and dont hide behind an alias, thanks.

Just to back Dave up regarding the Tuesday night draw, I was also at the meeting along with two other coaches and the draw was fair. Maybe the "THINKER" should attend a meeting or find another website.

Well done Dave Rough and dave Lever and I fully support your comments - comments from the Thinker show a distinct lack of thought!!

u11s let keep playing well and finish the season of better than we started it

come on pilks we are playing well lets keep it up

Under 16's another good win against Woolston. But hard game next against Haydock at home, this game could decide 2nd place in league. All players make sure your at training this week.

well done cougars on the win on sunday believe it was a good, clean game. KEEP it goin lads

The comments below were taken from the north west counties 13/15s forum again more good press for the the club. Mark/Dave.

Pilks 40 pts - Golborne 30 pts

Great game by both sets of players! - Nice to see some genuine rugby league played without the fanfares seen at other matches and by players who want to play for their clubs and enjoy their rugby!

Top class referee too, only matched by great post match hospitality by Pilks - thank you!

Keep going both sets of players - well done!

More good reports, taken from 8-12's website:
Pilks Recs Cougars 14 West Bank Bears 0
Would like to say what a pleasure this game was to watch this morning. Pilks are a great footballing side, and worked hard all game. Must however praise West Banks grit and determination that was apparent throughout the game. 14-0 down at half time, West Bank never gave up and kept a clean sheet throughout the second half, with strong defending.
A great game played by both teams, played in the true spirit of rugby league.
Congratulations to players, coaches and parents of both sides.

Ralph/John, I know your both busy but if possible could you update everyone with the situation of the club with the closure very near. I believe there was a commitee meeting yesterday, any news, thanks.

YES would be interesting to know what is happening the club shuts march 31st, there seem to be a lot of rumours spreading like wild fire across the town and parents starting to worry 69 days till club closes and ends ??????

Dave in answer to your question, yes the club situation was discussed at length, and an annoucement will be made most likely at the end of Feb, however due to the ongoing discussions with certain parties, nothing can be announced until they are completed. I know you want to hear something more positive at this late stage, but until t are crossed & i's dotted they cannot say more than the matter is well in hand

Hi all

there will be a meeting to explain developments in the near future. Can I start by saying that the club will not end just because city road closes, if we all believe we Recs through and through then the closure of City Road won't signal the end. What I can say is that come the end of March we will have another base in the locality where we can be based and make use of for after match refreshments. Playing fields will be as they are at the moment but I can say that negotiations are in hand to establish a long term base and playing facilities FOR ALL AGE GROUPS!! so keep positive, stop the rumours and trust me i am going to get this sorted out for the benefit of everyone. As soon as I have something concrete which i hope will not be long off I will convene a meeting and tell you all, bear with me it is not an easy task as there are a lot of conflicting factors to negotiate around and a variety of interested parties. Just keep playing the good rugby that we are doing and this will come together.

From the coaches and the parents, great performance from the PUMAS against INCE yesterday, well done!

Hiya Mick - sorry i had not seen that post in which case you are spot on. yes looking forward to the final details. Well done to the under 16s and 14s keep it going lads much better this season. Well done as well to the under 11s and the Pumas som good results against tough opposition.

just like to say what a good game of rugby it was yesterday under 11 and nice set parents you have got.st judes

Great game yeterday under 9's, well done a keep it up

Ralph the initial post i was replying to has been edited hence my response.
I take a gander at all the sites across the nwc there are some cracking sites and it is good to see how much work is being done at all the clubs.
See you at the lancs cup final, when we find out where and when it is.

Well done to under 16's against Blackpool, another win 16 - 48. Great performance once again. 100% improvement this year played 13 won 10 lost 3. What a season so far compaired to last season when we didn't win a game.
Once again boys well done from all parents and coaches (keep up the good work)

Jon, seem to have a problem emailing you at the address on the main page, it is returned as address unknown.

Well done to all the under 11 lads today. We had a good game against St Judes. Lets keep it going.

The two teams were not PUT to-gether they were drawn to-gether.
The Pumas now go into the plate competition and if all works out you could have both teams competing in the Blackpool finals.

Hi Mick - nice to see your comment on our web page - I don't think anyone questioned that the teams were put together, in fact one of the comments says it is a pity that the teams were drawn together. in any event it turned out to be a great game and the pictures from the game look superb too. Well done lads from both teams you can all be proud of the game and coaches /spectators too for your support and encouragement.

Good luck to Cougars in the next round. Also a big Well done and thanks to the referee, all coaching staff, players and parents of both Pumas and cougars for making it a game that Pilks club should be proud of, in the manner it was played. A great skill level was shown by all players on display. WELL DONE ALL!!!!!

never have i seen two sides play with such a couragous effort as on sunday. pilks and the coachs of both the under 12s should be proud of both sides. its just a pitty we got drawn together in the first game , for both the teams deserve to be in the final with such a performance.well done both sides and come on cougar's bring the cup home.

Well dne pumas tday lads we were far the better team and we proved it with our game today lads thanx pumas

Well done to both sides today, PUMAS and COUGARS. The match was brilliant to watch in which any team could of won. Good luck to the COUGARS in the next round.

Ralph would it be possible in the very near future to organise a open meeting to update parents as to the future plans of the club as the end edges ever closer.I appreciate that people are busy, but think it would just clear a few heads of the constant rumours that spread around the town each week.many thanks tony

Comment on NWC-

Langworthy Reds under 8's parents and coach would like to thank Jeff Brown from Pilkington Recs under 8's for such a fantastic game of rugby yesterday.

Not only did Jeff loan me two of his players (and I might add one of them was his son) but he allowed the game to flow which is how it should be at under 8's and for those of you who have bickered about the loaning of players, believe me these two lads did not back off from tackling and trying to score tries against there own club.

The children and the parents and coaches are a credit to him and your club.

If Jeff does not use this forum, would someone from Pilks please kindly pass on our comments.

Thanks once again for a top game.

Hi Tracy,

I?m the under 8?s coach at Portico Vine club and we played your team this morning. I just wanted to drop the club a line and let them know how much we all enjoyed today?s match. We (Portico) lost today, but your boys were magnificent and (more to the point) they outplayed us in an incredibly fair, clean game.

We were light-handed today and three of your players volunteered to play for us ? these three (Tom, Joe and Jacob) were an absolute credit to the team and to the club. They played with real heart and soul and our parents have asked me to contact you to see if we could get a postal address for the U8?s secretary as we?d like to send the lads some certificates to say thanks.

All in all, it was an excellent morning?s fun and it has really left all of us involved with the U8?s with a great impression of Jeff and the whole Pilks club. I?m a newcomer to Junior Rugby and today?s game reminded me of exactly why I had got involved in the first place.

Could you pass our thanks on to all involved in the U8?s and especially the parents ? who were very supportive.

Good luck for the rest of the season!

John & the Portico Under 8?s.

Thanks for all your support, I'm sure the lads will give 100% and hopefully reach the final, but lets not forget the Pumas are also in the semi final hopefully next week, so who knows Pilks v Pilks final, what a boost for the club as a whole!!
