On form Fax against an off form Batley

Agreed but I think we will miss Dominic Malloney's contribution

Doms absence will be more notable against Barrow in the next match...

We will need all 17 in top form for that one to have a chance

I think it will be alot closer than that.



i have a friend who plays for batley, they are really fired up for this as they want revenge for our earlier win (surprisingly they think Ronnie did them out of it in the first half), they will push us, they know how we play and can defend.

MOM Penky. Think he's getting his form back now

Going for Fax 28 Dogs 12. Cant get to this one cos of work but think we will have too much for them.



MOM Black.

Big headlines on tonights back page of the Courier Fax still my team says Rhino.The article says Fax should be in the top flight and he wants us to do well. I think he is creating an atmosphere where we think we will walk it and then Batley will be all guns blazing.I think this will be a close one.

Fax 34 - 6 Batley.
