The Lions!

Hello, a happy new year to you all, and it's great to be back! We started the 2020 campaign last Sunday with a pre-season friendly at the Pinks. We kept 'em out for about 20 minutes, but from then on, the diff between FT, and PT players told, and it finished 52-4 the wrong way. Two more friendlies await us, with 'Ornits (Mazey and Co as well) away on Sunday week, before we host Wire-ish the Saturday after, which is part of the deal that took Matty Ashton to the HJS. Our opening league match is up at 'Haven. It's never easy up there, and Charlton's Crew will defo be "up for it" on their return to the middle tier. As I mentioned on the previous forum, the walk this year will be (again) when you mob are the visitors, and I'd love some Widnesians to join us on the trek from Barton Bridge to Sale. Please watch this space for updates on how we can raise some dosh for Bloodwise, and the MNDA. Spelly.

Former Lion, with Widnesian connections, Chris Atkin, is heading to Bradford, and he's in their squad for the Giants' visit to Odsal on Friday.

He always had that "summat about him" whilst he was with us, so it was no real surprise when he became a Robin on a FT contract. He's since been a Pink, and a Tiger.

Along with his good lady, and little one, he lives only about half a mile from Chez Spelly.
