We went over to Featherstone yesterday as Mrs Maghullsaint's great nephew was playing for the Midlands Academy.
It's 20 years since I last went there and they have done a lot of work to make sure that the ground will be suitable for SL - three new stands and a plan to move the pitch about 20 yards which will allow them to build a fourth stand.
The game finished 56-8 to Fev who looked bigger, older and fitter than the Midlands boys. A couple of odd things, to my eye. The clock is not stopped at any time, even if there is an injury break, and the ref blew up 90 seconds early. It was also one of the worst refereeing displays I have ever seen, missing a spear tackle, blatant forward passes, and blowing up against Midlands at any time for what seemed to me to be non existent lying-on. It made me nostalgic for Mr Child.
