RAMS CASH IN ON 'DOGS HANGOVER

With an air of inevitability, the Bulldogs came crashing back to earth with a bump on Sunday afternoon at the Tetley's Stadium, as Dewsbury recorded a convincing 36-16 win over their local rivals to boost their own survival chances and dampen Batley's hopes of a top six spot. Recalled winger Ian Preece (pictured) was one of the rare successes for the visitors on a miserable day, the highlight being his try-saving chase and tackle on Austin Buchanan.

THANK YOU FROM THE BOARD

The Board at Batley Bulldogs would just like to say a massive Thank you to all that went to Blackpool to cheer on our players last weekend. The players and coaches did a excellent job in bringing the Northern Rail Cup to Batley. As a thank you and to keep the feel good factor going we have reduced admission price for our game against Keighley on the 1st August to £10 adults, £5 concessions and £2 kids. The players will be available with the cup for pictures straight after that game. And to make the celebration even better all draft lager, bitter, cider will be £2 all day. Bring along your friends, family, work mates and lets fill Mount Pleasant and give the players another boost as we push for a top six place.
