Well its only the second week and already we have a massive game along with a lot of interesting contests. There is a clash of B teams as well.
Gorton Con Club vs Prince of Wales
The games don’t get much bigger than this. Two of the favourites for any competition they participate in face off early in the season. The Gorton and the Prince sides will be eager to establish their dominance and have talented players throughout their squads.
Last season: Gorton Con Club 3 vs 5 Prince of Wales
The Holdsworth vs Waggon & Horses
The Holdsworths will be eager to secure their first three points on the board and will likely feel confident at home. However, I have a hunch that they will be significantly stronger this year with a few new additions.

Prince of Wales ‘B’ vs The Buxton
The Prince B all came back last week buzzing that they were in the game, and why not? The Studio are a class team, with some brilliant players. On to this week though, and the Prince B will be looking to turn the home-field advantage into 3 points. The Buxton surprised quite a few last season and will be looking to continue their fine performances since joining the league.

Steelworks Tavern vs Clayton Con Club
The Steelworks at home can be among the most difficult teams to face, and they will be looking to get the job done this week. They managed to get a good away point last week against a completely new team, which can always be a banana skin, but they will want more. Clayton had a good draw last week as well, but with their new players, they will be hoping that they can start to pick up more points earlier this season.
Last season: Steelworks Tavern 7 vs 1 Clayton Con Club
Strawberry Gardens vs Studio Bar
They took their time to get going last year, but once they did, they started accumulating a steady number of points. They will be hoping that the hard-fought-away points they secured last week are just the beginning. Despite being underdogs even at home, they are aware of this. The studio can say whatever it wants about them that hasn’t already been said: they have been an exceptional team, and there doesn’t appear to be any reason why that won’t continue. They have even improved their team’s quality. Will it be up to captain Chris to secure the three points once again this week?
Last season: Strawberry Gardens 3 vs 5 Studio Bar
The Sidings vs Strawberry Duck
The Sidings last week relied on tried-and-tested team players, and they performed really well away to the champions. What was noticeable last week was that the Sidings have got a much larger squad this season, and I have been told they are all of a good standard. They are playing an unknown team in the Duck and will be cautious but optimistic. The Duck can look at this season almost as a free hit; they don’t yet know where they feel they should finish. The teams facing them will also have no idea what the team is like, which could result in some very interesting nights and results.

Waggon & Horses ‘B’ vs. Gorton Con Club ‘B’
The Waggon B team comprises both seasoned league players and relatively new ones. This unique composition presents an intriguing challenge. Will the experienced players impart their expertise and enhance the skills of the newcomers, ultimately leading to improved performance as a team? The Gorton B team, led by Wayne and bolstered by new players, demonstrated a promising start this year. Overall, the prospects for the team appear promising.
