Managed to get to watch Irlam v Orrell on saturday after missing the last few games, and it was a good close game.
The scoreline flatters Irlam a bit as it was a lot closer than it suggests.
From last year Orrell have a lot of new faces and some good players they will defo shock a few teams this year if they manage to keep hold of there squad.
Irlam's fitness probably won them the game in the end after they were behind 0-8 within the first 15 mins but came back to get in front and win the game.
I agree something has changed at irlam but at times saw flashes of the team last year, they just seem to want to score everytime they have the ball rather than just accepting the tackle!!
But well done orrell who were a good clean physical side and i hope they can keep going !!
