Saturday 8th January
1st Team
Home v Southport, KO 2:15pm
1st team are at Home to Southport in the league with a 2.15pm KO. First game of 2022 and the first since our magnificent victory away in at St Benedicts just before Xmas. This will go down as one of the great performances with just 15 players in the squad, several debutants, players playing out of position and a very young side going up to Cumbria to produce an outstanding display of pride, commitment and great Rugby.
We narrowly beat Southport earlier in the season and they sit just below Park in the league. As always we are expecting a tough game and we are looking for a win to keep us in 3rd place in the League.
2nd Team
Home v Linley & Kidsgrove KO 2:15pm
Our 2nd team are also at home with a 2.15 KO and play Linley & Kidsgrove 1st XV. We lost the away game earlier in the season but are looking to have a strong 2nd half of the season starting this week. We need a couple of wins to move us up the table and we have a strong team out this weekend.
3rd Team
Away v West Park St Helens, KO 2:15pm
The 3rds are away at West Park St Helens. We won 20- 12 earlier in the season in what was a very evenly matched contest. They will be strong at home so we expect a tough return match.
Sunday 9th January
Ladies
Home v Trafford MV KO 2:00pm
After the festive break the Women’s 1stXV host Trafford MV this Sunday. We lost the away fixture, but the score line very much hid a sterling performance from a significantly depleted Winnington Park squad. However, with players returning from injury we should have a much larger squad to face Trafford for the first return fixture of the season. As we head into the second half of the season we also very much look forward to introducing the eligible U18s into the playing squad for the senior team. The focus of the U18 players will be to continue to support the U18 squad, but it now means they should have access to rugby matches every weekend.
U13, U15, U18 Girls
Home training
Colts
Away v Tyldesley, KO 2:00pm
The colts are away at Tyldesley on Sunday in a friendly. They currently sit top of the Colts B league and we look forward to watching them play at home in a coupe of weeks time. They are turning into a really good team and we have high hopes that they will do well in both League and Cup competitions this season. They have already won the preliminary C league this season.
M&J teams
Little Ruggers will be available at 9am for all children in preschool and reception and really focus on fun, getting active and those early ball skills.
