It’s been a few weeks but…

What a few weeks it’s been.

We’ve had Murrayfield Magic, we’ve had the demise of the Bradford Bulls as a top four Super League side, been beaten by Celtic Crusaders and Salford City Reds, we’ve seen London Skolars get their first win, we’ve seen Workington Town going backwards, Batley on the up and so on.

How Fantastic is Rugby League?  The troubles still rumble on in Australia with an incident from 2002 leading to the suspension of Matthew Johns, former league star and Channel 9 presenter.  Whilst over here, Danny Sculthorpe and Danny Brough get a weeks suspension for an alochol related incident on the way home from london.

At home though, where the important things are going on.  The Buffaloes are still unbeaten and going well at the top of the co-operative rugby league conference national.  Having a 100% record so far this season, with 14 games to go. 

This last weekend saw us travel down to Hemel Stags who this year seem to be one of our closest rivals, who were running in second place, a defeat to them would have seen them jump to top spot in the table, with us a point behind.

However, the resiliance of the Buffaloes proved too much for the Stags, and with only 16 men, we won 22-18.  One touch judge thought he was despatching trains the way he had his flag up, and was on the field more than the Hemel Coach Troy Perkins.  Read the match report here.

Troy was up to his usual tricks trying to referee the game from the touchline and sometimes on the field as well.  At Half time Troy button holed the referee trying to sway his thinking and after the game allegedly abused the three officials, so much so two refused to stay in the club house.

Post Match there were no pleasentaries, as is the norm in our competition, much to the disappointment of our supporters.  Not to worry we will invite Troy to make up for it when Hemel come to our ground.

On to this weekend and we have reversed the fixture with Gateshead Storm, meaning that this weekend we are away to the Storm, playing at the Thunderdome as a warm up match to the Gateshead Thunder Vs St. Helens game in the Carnegie Challenge Cup.

Storm come to Bramley on Thursday 25th June with an 8pm kick off.

We sent out a press release informing fans of this switch of game and this lead to an interview on Yorkshire Radio, who do us proud in terms of coverage.  JD on Radio Leeds also gave us a mention on Sunday afternoon

Catch my interview later on this week on Yorkshire Radio.

Away the Mow.
