This saturday coming is a local derby of Irlam Hornets vs Cadishead Rhinos it promises to be a huge game but most importantly its in memory of simon annis a salford lad who passed away recentley serving for our country.
Please get down and support both teams and help raise money for a good cause, it promises to be a good match with the 2 teams not facing each other for a good few years.
the kick off is at 2.00pm at lord street cadishead rec
i thought this deserved a thread of its own due to its nature.
please get down and watch a great game !!!

yeah cant wait, i was wondering if this was going to be the game that was in memory of simon annis

lets have rugby league showing some huge support for a young man who everybody on this forum will of heard about!

I was going to start a thread myself about this, so I'm pleased to see this on here.

I think this game is going to be huge. Both teams seem up for this tie... with league points at stake and a cup to win... it couldn't be any bigger in my opinion.

I don't think I've felt this excited about a game for years... I guess being assistant coach at the Rhinos gives it an extra edge for me, but for everyone involved at both clubs... it's something we've all been waiting for.

I hope both teams can put on a quality game without any problems... and both stand proudly to remember Simon.

I will definitely be there I only live across the road and im an avid rhino's fan and have been for some years

Gutted I can't be there. I'll be at Silver Street watching Irlam FC against Holker Old Boys. I wish the Hornets played on a Sunday.

I have a feeling that you'll be missing the better game.

just looked at rhinos website and it says the match is away to hornets, is this a mistake

no we share the same ground

sorry left brain in pub of course they do

Hi, goin to come and watch this, is the game still on? all our pitches have been closed cause of the weather.

The Cadishead pitch has superb drainage and should be absolutely fine... Yes I know it's Irlam at home... but it's the same pitch.

good to see so many people turn up for this game!

Irlam took the two points,bragging rights, and trophy

the final score was 19-6 i think, it was a very physical game from start to finish

my game only lasted for 5 minutes though because i thought i had dislocated my finger, turns out its broken

Fantastic turnout. I made it 25 - 6.
Cadishead seemed to struggle with the conditions more than Irlam. They dropped too much ball, and hardly completed any sets. good game though, in awful conditions.

I had it as 21 - 6 to Hornets which is backed up by the league website.
I`d agree to much dropped ball by the Rhinos , Irlam handled the conditions better and were deserved winners in the end.

it was a great game both teams played the best they could in the conditions they found themselfs, I thought the tribute to simon at the start of the game was excelent the turnout was rather good I cant wait until the next one, well done to both teams hornets and Rhinos

I was exceptionally proud to have been involved in the occasion today. The atmosphere was superb.... Never seen that for a game at amateur level... and the fact that 2 local sides could generate that feeling was nothing short of amazing.

Hornets deserved the win today... we gave up too much ball... but from a plus side... the way my team conducted themselves today was a credit and I'm extremely proud of them.
