2022 Woolston Rovers Matchday Programme Normanton Knights 05082022

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 Normanton Knights in the
National Conference League Division Two.
We welcome the players, supporters and committee of the Knights to Woolston and
hope that they have had a safe journey across town and enjoy our hospitality today.
We have only hosted Normanton once before, and that was in 2020 just before the
season got curtailed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They have been in fine form this
year and currently sit in fourth place in the league table, two places above us. We are
currently occupying the final play off position but with Dewsbury Celtic breathing down
our necks we know that a win today is vital if we are to remain in the top six.
Last time out we entertained run away league leaders Heworth and for sixty minutes
we really held our own and at only 12-10 behind we had a great chance but unfortunately
three late tries for the visitors saw them claim the win.
Our NWML side are once again at Leigh East ‘A’ this afternoon (12.30pm kick off) and
they will be hoping to back up their huge win over Liverpool Lizards last time out and
get back into the top four. They are away again next Saturday at Halton Simms Cross
before hosting local rivals Crosfields ‘A’ on Saturday 20th August; 2.30pm kick off.
Our final home NCL game of the season is on Saturday 3rd September when we host
Dewsbury Moor Maroons; this will be a big celebration day with sponsors and past
players invited and following the game there will be a Race Night commencing at 5pm
and then around 8pm it will be ‘Bongo Bingo’ time. Make sure you are free that day as
it will be great entertainment.
Thanks for your attendance today and we hope to see you again very soon. Why not
bring a friend along with you next time and introduce them to the Rovers!!!
