  IMPROVED PERFORMANCE BRINGS NUMBER OF SMALL WINS AND PROMISE Salford RLFC 0  Oulton Raidettes 42 Match Report  David Clegg Not for the first time in recent weeks, Salford Ladies’ team was required to perform another ‘David & Goliath’ act, last Sunday, when they entertained Oulton Raidettes in their final home game of the season, though without the successful outcome of the Biblical story. With a team comprised of older teenagers, and only a couple of more experienced players, the home side had to contend with successive onslaughts on their defence, and frequently on their try line, from a team of older, physically stronger and more mature opponents, who revelled in their physical superiority throughout the encounter. After receiving buffettings from Cardiff and Swinton in their most recent games, the Salford players were determined to improve on those performances and make their mark on the game, despite the odds being so heavily stacked against them, and this...

A 26 man brawl broke out shortly after as Derby Day tensions spilled out on the field.

  VALLIANT REDS DAMAGE LIMITATION SUCCESS Salford RLFC 0 Castleford Tigers 22 It would be difficult to imagine two more contrasting sides than those on display in this ladies’ home league fixture with Castleford, on Sunday afternoon, with the Salford players being overshadowed by the significant physical prowess of the much more mature stature of the visitors. It was in their contrasting styles of play however, that the difference became most evident, with each team playing very much to their strengths, and both doing so extremely well. The quite notable improvement in the teamwork of the Salford side, over the season, progressed to a new high. Their ball-handling skills has now reached the point at which they were able to dominate possession for reasonably lengthy periods in a game, in which they were so outsized by a much bigger, stronger opposition, that it became a a great asset. The visitors for their part appeared not to feel the need for much of this, as their physical ...
