Derwent Park SC Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 As with all pre season games other than the Ike Southward there is to be no radio coverage of the Widnes game. With that being said join Callum Linford live on Town Fans Home and Away Facebook page from Widnes around 2:50-2:55 for all the action in Anthony Murray and Towns first game of the 2024 season.

Looks like a strong team they are putting out , some missing due to injury they say. Going down and looking forward to seeing how our new lads perform.UTT 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Winthorpe Posted January 6 Author Share Posted January 6 Hope you have a good day down their. Never made it down to Their old ground in our golden days in the 70s. Naughton park if I am right. We played them many times in the late 70s and they were our bogy team and it was never a friendly. We put them out of the lancs cup at home when corquey kicked an amazing kick to beat them 8 to 6. They beat us in the other 3 finals but those were the days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
town blue Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Remember beating them at home when they had a star studded team, if my memory is correct from that team we signed Phil Mckenzie and Kurt Sorenson coached town after playing for Haven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was lucky because I started going away in 89/90 so went to loads of old grounds before they became housing estates. Crown Flatt, Station Road, Athletic Ground Rochdale, Tattersfield, Fartown, Thrum Hall, Central Park, Wilderspool, The Willows, Naughton Park, Watersheddings,McLaren Field plus a few football , union and athletics grounds.

IanMac Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 There’s 21 named on rfl site but it’s alphabetical and doesn’t go as far as W so doesn’t include Walker and Walton. Bradley, Archer and McPherson aren’t named but Billy Southward and a Brad Taylor are. So I reckon it’s a 23 man squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homeandawayer Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Hutton looks a good'n. We're pretty good at snuffing out the first attack but under pressure we can't defend the follow up, there's a gulf in class but still a good workout and should be OK when we finally play league one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't notice Saunders much but Hutton was on the wing and looked quick and dangerous , a bit like when Teare first arrived. Bickerdike looked more at home at fullback when Burns went off . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Town utd Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Burns injury is a worry big loss,hopefully he's not to bad best player before he was injured. defence was good at times,but widnes were to good for town.henson looked good at loose forward had a few good runs and offloads when marwood came on.that looked the best combo of the game,but plenty of effort by all the squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Route66 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 22 hours ago, Derwent Parker said: Remember that day well first game of season after the heartbreak of losing to Salford in play off the season before. Just looked back at the results etc from that season and we ended up losing at home to Carlisle in the qfinal in front of 4000+, i thought it was a terrible year back then finishing bottom of the 8 team league but most of the results were very close. The gap between the divisions was so much closer as well back then, cant take too much from yesterday's defeat ,priority is to be ready for first competitive game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
