Anyone know if our (old)pal Jason lee will be putting on his boots? he can still do a lot of damage.as we all saw in the charity match, did he score 4 trys or just run riot, hes a one man try machine, lets hope he keeps his track suit on like a good coach should,,, GOOD LUCK Dudley, well deserved draw,

This was on the Dudley Hill website.

Is there a time delay on this thread?

Cant wait for the game, there are a lot of similarities to when we last played your lot, you had just been promoted, we had just switched to playing summer rugby, we played a team from cumbria the week before and had a former keighley player as head coach! I hope it all leads to the same result





And Jason wont be donningthe boots again because if he did we would beat you by 50 instead of just by 40 that we will!!









Only kidding looking forward to the tie should be good for the club

I think the side we put out against you this time around will be a hell of a lot better than last time.



It'll be a good experience for your lads to be facing up against the likes of Obst, March, Tadulala, Korkidas, and JD if they play. Anyway I hope wherever the game is played Dudley Hill make a decent wedge and it sets them up for the future.

I hope so too pal, its always good for amateur teams is the third round. Your team does look a lot better than last time as long as we give a good account of ourselves we will be happy, do you think he will play his strongest side possible or give a few fringe players a shot?

I could see him resting 3 or 4 of the veteran players, maybe something along the lines of.



1. Craig Moss

2. James Haythornthwaite

3. Ollie Pursglove

4. Danny Lawton

5. Gavin Duffy

6. Jy-Mel Coleman

7. Danny Jones

8. Andy Shickell

9. James Feather (c)

10. Neil Cherryholme

11. Richard Jones

12. Jode Sheriffe

13. Paul March



14. Ben Stead

15. Jamaine Wray

16. Brendan Rawlins

17. Jamie Shepherd

I think it could be a bit closer if you hve that side out than if you had JD, Korkidas and Obst in, how do you feel about Jode Sheriffe he played for heworth against us a couple of times last year strong with the ball but a bit off defensive wise

I'm quite impressed with him, he looks a good athlete. I think he's got a good chance of becoming a first team regular although we've a fair bit of depth in the pack. He's still quite young and working hard with some of the experienced talent we have at the club should only see him get better and better.

Did look stong like I say im really looking forward to see how a couple of our lads go against professional opposition

This match is of sentimental value for me personally as Dudley Hill was the first game I went to back in 2004 before I started going regularly to watch the almighty Keighley Cougars. I had been a few times in the mid 90s, but I was too young to understand what was going on and don't remember it very well.



Anyone else would have probably been put off going back ever again after that defeat.





We could have got a draw out of it if we were able to score a conversion on the very last kick of the ball.





And so started my exciting times of the ups and downs of Keighley Cougars.







I'm hoping this fixture will be played at home. It would definitely generate more funds for Dudley Hill anyway due to the shared gate.

From my memory, they brought a good amount of fans last time, many of which insisted on wearing the attire of their neighbours in Odsal however.

No dis-respect to Dudley Hill, but the above side should be more than capable of beating them, and by some margin. The problem with playing "lesser" sides is the mindset of the players. They will be pumped up and we are likely to be less so. However, the players we have need to get used to treating every game with equal intensity both off and on the field.



We are a semi pro team who train part time and as such playing a game is actually a critical part of players keeping fit. As such I wouldn't like to see us rest too many first string players and see our league performance suffer.



Good luck to Dudley Hill, but I hope we put on a professional performance to show that we have developed a tougher mental attitude than we used to display in these type of games.
