WELCOME MESSAGE H ello and welcome everyone to Tilsley Park and to all the players, officials and staff from our visitors today, the Gloucestershire All Golds. A special welcome to our match sponsors Stephen Owen and The Ultimate Fantasy League who are good friends with our assistant coach, Chris Baxter. These guys are a group of devoted rugby league fans supporting the expansion clubs and your contribution is greatly appreciated. Hope you guys enjoy your day at Tilsley! A couple of very positive news snippets to share with you all and I’m both delighted and proud to say that a recent audit on the Rugby League Inspires Foundation has received encouraging feedback. This is part of the Sky Try partnership and our GM Ryan Cousins, along with his team of coaches, have delivered a very engaging program throughout Oxfordshire. We are awaiting official approval on the work but Ryan had this to say “Generally speaking we have ticked the boxes and in a few exceeded. The assessors recognized we have some limited resources but what has been established with schools and our participation figures show the determination and commitment of the team to deliver. We’ve got some good green lights and a few things to work on but all are constructive points to help the momentum of the foundation.” The second piece of good news is with England student international Charlie Greene who’s now back in the squad. Charlie has been on duty with England the best part of two months which the club and coaches have supported. The positive news is Charlie’s potential has been recognized and earned him a <strong>RL</strong> sports scholarship and we’re thrilled for him and delighted to have him back in the squad. Well done young man, you are a great example of what honest hard work can achieve and get you. Oxford’s ability to help players with its connections and pathways is still delivering. Head coach Tim Rumford has created an opportunity for a couple of his lads to train for a week with our DR partners Castleford Tigers. It will be a great experience and it is a wonderful example of our partnerships working off the pitch. It’s a pure opportunity to impress and I hope it’s grasped with both hands to make the most of it. Naturally if anything develops we will keep you posted, but for now well done Blues coaches and good luck lads. I’d like to say huge thanks for rallying to the cause at Barrow, Mark Timbrell, Clarke McAllister, Harrison Rumford and Olly Smith all jumped in to help the backroom crew. Thanks lads you were and very appreciated! Back to today and it’s the last game before League 1 splits into the top 8 playoffs and Shield play offs, for which the fixture draw will be out very soon. Last time when we were at home against York, I thought the lads had a good say in the pattern of the game but the quality of the Knights halves was instrumental for them. Then Barrow with 16 hours of traveling is always a huge challenge and our first half performance wasn’t shabby. The spirit and effort is apparent, but unfortunately against top four teams our lack of experience and quality is falling short. However, I’m hoping that the lads take the positives from these matches and stitch them together for a big performance against the All Golds. Self belief and hard work has delivered well for Charlie Greene, so let’s transform that into the whole group. JJ is no doubt following you lads today on twitter, so put in a shift for him! Good luck lads and I hope you all enjoy the game. Adrian
