  SALFORD FALL BACK INTO OLD HABITS Salford RLFC 10 Warrington Wolves 60 Match Report David Clegg A vastly improved second half performance by the Salford Ladies’ team, stopped the winning margin of this, overall, one-sided contest, from being significantly greater for, with the Wolves racking up 32 points in a mere 27 minutes, all the signs were for something worse. In fairness, it has to be said that the visitors side comprised of up to seven current Wigan players on dual registration, alongside at least four former Salford players ,namely, winger, Caylee Miller, forward, Megan Condliffe, scrum half, Ellie Costello ,and stand-off, Michelle Davies. With Miller running in five tries, and Davies slotting over eight goals from eleven attempts, that contingent of former Salford favourites had a significant say in the final difference in scores. After a magnificent win, the previous week, over the Bradford Bulls, it had been hoped that the Salford side had turned a corner in their ...

  SALFORD NOTCH THEIR FIRST VICTORY OF SEASON A most outrageous ‘snatch and grab’ of the ball, by long-serving centre three-quarter - operating on this occasion at loose forward - Alex Simpson, seven minutes from time, sealed Salford Ladies’ whole team’s ‘snatch and grab’ of the spoils, in last Sunday’s match against Bradford, thereby registering their first victory of the season, and also their first with the almost entirely new squad, which had been assembled very late on in the close season. In what must have been one of her most significant contributions in her time with the team, Simpson, one of only two players now who were in the original squad which launched Salford’s first season, spotted her opportunity to steal the ball from an opponent, and, with the try line at her mercy, raced the twelve metres to ground it near the corner and put them in the lead for the first time, in what was their first home game of the year. Twice, Bradford had led, and twice, Salford replied w...
