NRFC looking for a good 2006...

As we move into 2006 NRFC are in reasonably good shape.
5th in the table - only two wins off 2nd spot - and in the quarter final of the cup, with the chance to meet Lonsdale in the Semis.

The team has a rejuvenated spirit about it now which must be a welcome sight to the new gaffer Timid Mick, as they hit an early low point away to May & Bakers.

A few new faces arrived and a couple of regular players returned to the fold which saw the results turn around too.

NRFC are now looking to kick on in the second half of the season and pick up as many points as they can in their remaining 9 games to boost their final position and even target a top 3 finish. Their first scheduled game of 2006 is away to Lonsdale on the 8th Jan, but this has the potential to be moved due to NRFC's cup game.

In that cup game, they face high flying Racing Club Fantana in a game that has twice been postponed. Should the boys manage to get through that tough tie they can look ahead to a semi-final against Lonsdale, and a possible place in the final against Ladzio or Ascot who play on the 8th of Jan.
