Not a great start to the 2009/10 season but not a bad one either. We lost to Leeds in our first game that I really think we should have won. Then got a good win away at Bradford Maroons but then a tough close game vs Dragons that again we had in the bad and let slip away. That left us with a losing record again.

We went away to Tyne Met looking for a good performance and we def got that up there. I think everyone played one of their best games of the season, we moved the ball well and everyone had a really good laugh.

Manchester was another tough one vs a team of U18's who just wanted to run-run-run. Half the team didn't actually get there until we had already started the match. We started well enough with 3 of our U18's and myself and Chris Law. Was a hard game as they had some really big guys who were getting every rebound for them so we didn't get much chance if we didn't make our shots. They hit a big three on the buzzer to take it to overtime but then in overtime we showed our experience and even without Garnet we beat them comfortably by about 13 in the end.

Looking forward to the weekend and hopefully we can come away with a win against Stockport to move us level with them in the table and move us closer to the top where we belong!

Well, we are now 8-1 and we are doing quite well. We still have a lot to work on if we can get all 15 players playing together and on the same page but I'm sure we can get there!

Bring on next week vs Huddersfield. I think this could be tougher than the first two matches but who knows how they will play?

I've also updated the team photo with the one taken on Saturday.

Well we had a big match this last weekend and although we won it. It wasn't the most impressive victory. I felt we had much more to give and I really hope we work on this over this week's training sessions.

Garnet is away so we really need to work hard and come together as a team and really show what we can do as a team.

Looking forward to the weekend as it will be a tough one but still very confident going into the weekend.

Well, we almost did it. We should have won that match. We had them but we just turned the ball over too much early on. If we had played in the 1st half like we did in the 2nd half then we would have won that match.

I'm just gutted but well done to Mansfield, they seemed to want it more than us and I think it will give some of our players a wake-up call that was needed to show them what we need to do in order win games against the better teams in our league.

In the end I think this loss might help us as I think we have had a really easy start to the season. I'm pretty sure that next week will also be a tough one as Bradford Dragons are meant to be a very good team with an excellent guard playing for them.

Come on the Saints!!

Hey,

Well we got our first league win of the season and overall it was a good team performance, everyone played well I think. Again, it was a close first half and then in the second we pulled away.

They hardly had any players due ti injury and then Jamie Loftus got his 4th foul quite early and so from then on they struggled with out height of Pawel and Rik. We could have won by much more but we ran our bench and also Swaine got 38 points with some awesome shooting.

Big weekend this weekend, double header with the 2nd round of the Cup vs Luna Mansfield Stars who are also unbeaten.

Well, we have the first league game of the season this weekend vs Huddersfield and they are really going to want to beat us after we beat them by 35 2 weeks ago. It should be another tough match as was the first one in the first half. We will have a tough practice 2nite and then hopefully be ready for the game.

Come on Saints!!

Hi,

I'm just testing out a flash gallery. It is very basic but I think it looks a little better than what we had before.

Hope you all like it :)

Hey there,

We had our first game this weekend. It started out very close and both teams were playing hard and although there were 3 refs not many fouls were being called.

I enjoyed the match and it was good to get back into it. I and I think everyone felt that they needed a bit more practice but I'm sure we will all click and start getting on the same page soon enough.

We still have some more guys who have signed up so we have a deep bench this year and plenty of people to come and play. Should be really enjoyable and I'm looking forward to the rest of the season.

We play them again in 2 weeks so should be an interesting one.

The first game of the season is coming this weekend. It would be great if we could get some people there to watch. It might be a scrappy game being the first one of the season but we are confident that we can get the win and advance to the next round.
