2022 Woolston Rovers Matchday Programme Bradford Dudley Hill 16072022

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 Bradford Dudley Hill in
the National Conference League Division Two.
We welcome the players, supporters and committee of Dudley Hill to Woolston and
hope that they have had a safe journey across town and enjoy our hospitality today.
Our relationship with Dudley Hill goes right back to the very beginning of the National
League in the 1985-86 season, when they were one of the founder members along
with ourselves and eight other teams. Over the ensuing years we have had some great
meetings with both sides having their fair share of success.
We have had an inconsistent season in truth; one week we look very impressive but
then the next week we look very ordinary. We have suffered with not having a regular
side; having to make eight or nine changes each week doesn’t allow you to get any
familiarity with each other’s play. Hopefully over the remaining six games we can get on
a good run and cement our play off place; as we all know, once you are in the play offs
you have a great chance of getting promoted.
Today is ‘The Big Bash’ and we welcome our loyal supporters, sponsors and past
players to the game; we also have ‘All the Fun of the Fair’ on site providing fairground
attractions and ‘street food’ for your enjoyment. From 4pm the DJ will be in place and
then a live band will come on at 6pm. It really does promise to be a great day.
Our NWML side had a great win last time out over Thatto Heath Crusaders ‘B’ and
although they have no game today, they will be back in action next weekend at Leigh
East ‘A’ and that is followed by a home game against Liverpool Lizards on Wednesday
27th July, kick off 7.00pm. Please get along and support the boys.
You will see further in the programme the fixtures for our Junior teams who play tomorrow.
We have plenty of excellent players (and coaches) within our Junior ranks so if
you have a spare hour or two in the morning please try and get along and show them
your support, either here at Monks’/Hillock Lane or in one of the away games.
Next weekend will see our Junior Section host a ‘War of the Roses’ Festival over two
days; on Saturday Under 7s-Under 11s will face Yorkshire opposition on Hillock Lane,
whilst on Sunday it will be the turn of our Under 12s-Under 15s to take centre stage on
the Limestone Construction Field, Monk Sports Club. If you can get along and support
our youngsters, then it will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your attendance today and we hope to see you again very soon. Why
Enjoy the game
