Hornets having a party 37 -36

Hornets 19 -18 up at the break.

Well done AAA pest control services a great sponsor of the club ! And what a bargain for fans.

Rochdale Hornets gained ground on big spending Oldham today with resounding win over Newcastle

Well done to Mayfield.

Elsey and Riddy back and Newcastle know about it !!!!!

There is no doubt that the club is putting everything into getting through it's appalling injury crisis. Credit to the management team who must be funding the deals. I would think that the players signed this week haven't come cheaply. Hopefully we start to move up the league table tomorrow !

Just noticed two short term signings to help fill some of the gaps. Looks like the management are ''burning the midnight oil'' to try and put out a competitive side out this weekend. C'mon the Hornets !!

Peeing Down this morning Anita

Just like last season the Hornets are hit by injuries early. It must be soul destroying for all the people putting the hours, commitment, effort and money into the club. No shortage of effort from a good group of players yesterday and with a full side its different result although still a loss I think ! Oldham lads were too big, strong clever and aggressive but the Hornets lads stuck at it. At 14-6 Lewis else was starting to unpick their left edge and his injury gutted the team. Beating Oldham was never on the cards yesterday. Congrats to them and lets get behind the club for what is now a massive test at Workington next week As a foot note I think that Lewis Hollidge who was thrown into the stand off role did very well, a big strong lad with great prospects. C'mon the Hornets !!!!!

Hornets doing it tough with the spine of the team really disrupted by injuries but I'm sure that the lads that come in will give 100% . Not a season breaker this one but I would love to have seen a full strength Hornets side against Oldham.

I am sure that if we are struggling to turn out 17 the coach will look at what Bradford have to offer..

Good summary of the game ! The lads did get drawn in but hopefully its a learning curve ! Onwards and Upwards. If Riddy and Greg had played the whole game we wouldn't have needed the late goal kick. We would have been 'out of sight'

Good to have him for another year. There is a really good feel about the club at the moment

Great result and a good entertaining game yesterday. As suspected, Midlands are a decent team but Hornets stuck at the task and got the result. I was surprised by the stadium, much better view and closer to the action than I expected, with top class facilities. A great place to visit.
