Two unusual goals ensured Barrow and Salford played out a 1-1 draw Where does leave Salford's chanced of qualifying for the play-offs? Author - Michael Haldsworth Tyler Smith scrambled the Bluebirds into a 37th-minute lead from Ben Whitfield's cross with his fourth goal of the season. Salford claimed the striker's effort had not crossed the line or that the ball had been knocked out of keeper Matty Young's grasp. Barrow provided a greater attacking threat in the second half, with Dean Campbell and Whitfield flashing shots over the crossbar. The former Barrow loanee Cole Stockton was denied his 14th goal of the campaign after 60 minutes by Wyll Stanway's third crucial save of the night. Smith should then have doubled Barrow's lead only to be denied by Young. A stunning view and sunset at the ground This did prove to be something of a turning point as Salford grabbed a deserved leveller after 69 minutes. Attempting to punch clear from under his crossbar, St...

First signs of positivity for Salford in the Super League Salford Red Devils achieved their first victory of the Betfred Super League season by defeating Huddersfield Giants. Author - Sophie T Both teams entered the match eager to secure important points, with the Red Devils looking to build on their recent Challenge Cup success against Bradford Bulls the previous week. Jayden Nikorima delivered an outstanding individual performance, but there were many other players across the team deserving of the Man of the Match recognition.

Salford picked up a potentially valuable point The Ammies came from behind to secure a 2-2 draw away at Swindon Town in League Two, earning a valuable point on the road. Author - Josh T In a game full of attacking intent, Swindon took the lead twice through Tom Nichols and Harry Smith, but the Ammies responded each time, with goals from Hakeeb Adelakun and Kelly Nmai ensuring they headed back to the North West with a share of the spoils. Swindon made a blistering start, almost going ahead inside three minutes. Former Salford goalkeeper Connor Ripley launched a ball over the top for Kabongo Tshimanga, who found himself one-on-one with Jamie Jones. The Ammies keeper stood tall to make the save and then reacted quickly to deny Miguel Freckleton on the rebound. The hosts didn’t have to wait long to break the deadlock, though. Will Wright’s corner was met by Nichols, whose volley took a deflection off Lewis Warrington and wrongfooted Jones to give Swindon the lead. Discover more match r...

Salford fans can now start looking forward to the rest of the Super League season The Red Devils have been given the green light to field a full-strength side against Leeds Rhinos on Saturday after the sustainability cap imposed by the Rugby Football League was lifted. Author - Michael Haldsworth Confirmation that a takeover of the club being formally approved by RFL Commercial will come as a huge relief to everyone associated with the club. In addition to their long-term future now being guaranteed, it means there will be no repeat of head coach Paul Rowley's farcical team selection against St Helens that saw them thrashed 82-0 in their first Super League fixture.  This 15 try victory was the heaviest winning margin in the league's history. From a Salford perspective, it represented a low moment in what has been a fairly successful era for the club.  Click here for more Super League news from Manchester Super News Party atmosphere expected for Salford’s first home game This...

Salford's promotion hopes were dented away at Wimbledon AFC Wimbledon climbed to second in League Two after a hard-fought victory over promotion rivals Salford, with Matty Stevens netting his 16th league goal of the season to settle the contest. Author - Jamie P The hosts started brightly, with Marcus Browne stinging the palms of Salford goalkeeper Jamie Jones with a powerful strike from the edge of the box. Josh Neufville then tested Jones with a curling effort, and while the keeper did well to keep it out, he flapped at the resulting corner, punching the ball straight to Ryan Johnson—who could only head over the bar. After the break, Wimbledon had strong appeals for a penalty turned down when Omar Bugiel appeared to be pulled down while trying to connect with a Jake Reeves cross. However, the breakthrough came in the 65th minute. Stevens pounced on a defensive lapse, dispossessing a Salford defender before surging forward unchallenged and drilling a low shot into the bottom l...

St Helens ran riot against depleted Salford in record-breaking Super League opener A youthful and understrength Salford Red Devils were thrashed at the Totally Wicked Stadium. Author - Liam C For St Helens, Tristan Sailor marked his debut in stunning style, crossing four times as Saints ran in 15 tries. Morgan Knowles and Harry Robertson both grabbed braces, while Lewis Murphy and Kyle Feldt also got on the scoresheet in their first outings for the club. Jonny Lomax, Curtis Sironen, Mark Percival, Jack Batchelor, and George Delaney completed the demolition job. A closer look at a bad night for Salford Salford, still awaiting confirmation of their takeover and restricted by salary cap constraints, were only able to name a 16-man squad, featuring eight debutants. Saints wasted no time asserting their dominance. Knowles bulldozed through a flimsy Salford defence inside five minutes, before Murphy finished off a slick team move just moments later. Percival converted the first but misse...

An easy day for Manchester City as they thrashed League Two Salford City Manchester City breezed into the fourth round of the FA Cup with an emphatic 8-0 victory over League Two side Salford City at the Etihad Stadium, powered by a James McAtee hat-trick. Author - Macca Jeremy Doku chipped in with a brace, Jack Grealish ended his lengthy goal drought, and young talents Divin Mubama and Nico O'Reilly also found the net in a completely one-sided affair. City’s ruthlessness was on full display as a much-rotated team delighted their fans with a dominant performance against Salford, a club owned by the famous ‘Class of 92’.  Gary Neville, one of the co-owners and a former Manchester United star , became a target for relentless taunts despite not being in attendance. Meanwhile, his former teammates Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes had to endure all of this from the stands. Another step in our journey but a step too far in our third round debut. #MCISAL pic.twitter.com/PvQ7sJZ9e4 — Salf...

Salford moved up to 9th place in League Two First-half goals from Luke Garbutt and Tyrese Fornah secured Salford’s third consecutive League Two victory as they overcame Barrow. Author - Sophie T  With the game winding down, Kylian Kouassi sealed the result with a late strike 10 minutes from time. The match had started evenly, with little to separate the teams until Garbutt broke the deadlock in the 21st minute. His teasing free-kick curled into the box, seemingly begging for a touch, but it eluded everyone and nestled into the top corner. Salford doubled their advantage just after the half-hour mark. Matty Lund delivered a precise pass to the edge of the area, where Fornah’s somewhat scrappy strike took a deflection and found the bottom corner.

Author - Sophie T Conor McAleny opened the scoring, capitalising on a defensive blunder, before Cole Stockton netted twice – one in each half – to secure a dominant victory for the Ammies. Notts County had an early chance to take the lead after just 10 minutes when Alassana Jatta broke through on goal, but Salford keeper Matty Young stood his ground to produce a crucial save.

 Leigh Leopards 20-22 Salford Red Devils 𝗙𝗨𝗟𝗟 𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗘 in partnership with @homestogether . ⏱️ #BeTheRoar pic.twitter.com/dqX3qxnnSo — Leigh Leopards (@LeighLeopardsRL) April 8, 2023 There was a memorable match between two of Greater Manchester's Super League teams. In the baking sunshine, Salford Red Devils registered a Betfred Super League Rivals Round victory against Leigh Leopards. Easter is always a highlight of the rugby league calendar. Today’s encounter would normally be the first of two Super League fixtures this weekend, but a change of schedule means we’ve now got five days to reset and prepare for the visit of Castleford Tigers next Thursday. It was clear quite early on that Salford was intent on playing quick and our first set gained massive metres via the ruck speed of Andy Ackers. After both sides traded sets, a dropped ball on halfway allowed Leigh an opportunity to build their first meaningful attack. Lachlan Lam received the ball around 30 metres out...

A cocaine dealer from Weaste has been jailed after GMP's anti-gang cops in Salford caught him in a car with ketamine, before they went on to uncover the raft of class A, B, and C drugs he intended to sell. What happened then? Luke Oliver (28) became the latest to be rumbled by officers from our Operation Naseby disruption taskforce that has helped drive down shootings in the city by over 70% since its inception two years ago after 300 arrests, over 300 car seizures, nearly 130 house searches, and around 50kilos of drugs recovered. Manchester Crown Court heard how Oliver was spotted by patrols in Weaste in April in a vehicle linked to a cannabis dealer who the Op Naseby team had recently helped to jail. Officers stopped the black Volkswagen Golf and spotted cash and observed that Oliver – the sole occupant of the car – appeared nervous and looked as though he had taken drugs. During a subsequent search of the vehicle – under section 23 of the Misuse of Drugs Act – they found fiv...

Click here to read the full match report from the Salford Red Devils website. In front of a rocking AJ Bell Stadium crowd, the Red Devils produced a thrilling performance, making it two wins from two against the Rhinos this season. Paul Rowley’s side started brightly and on the front foot, with some clever work on the right from Deon Cross allowing Ken Sio to score his 14th Betfred Super League try of the season. The Red Devils quickly made it two with some more incisive play – this time down the left. Harvey Livett – in his first appearance of the season – found a burst of pace to power past Leeds defenders and offload to Tim Lafai. The Samoan quickly found Joe Burgess on the wing to stroll over unopposed. Leeds did find some life moments later, however. The ball was worked left and a flick by David Fusitu’a allowed A...

You can watch the highlights in the video below. Footage courtesy of the official YouTube Super League account. The hosts were first over the try-line after 7 minutes – Toby King weaving through a gap in the Salford defensive line to go over towards the left of the sticks. Just before the half-way mark of the first forty, King scored again in a similar position to his first to extend the Wire’s lead. In the 27th minute, Ryan Brierley saw yellow for holding down at the play-the-ball, five minutes before Matty Ashton dived over in the left corner for Warrington. Brierley returned from the sin-bin in the 37th minute and set up Ken Sio in the corner two minutes later, finding the winger with a neat grubber kick. Warrington struck again five minutes into the second forty through Joe Philbin, who crashed over under the sticks. Andy...
