Couldn't make it and couldn't listen on the radio so had to settle for 'watching' on the Sky Sports updater! I think if anyone said that we would only lose by four points before the match most of us would have taken it. Looking forward to hearing the accounts from those who went.

Barrow 24 Knights 20 FT

Sounds like a superb effort from the Knights against one of the favourites in our division. Another 5 minutes and we might have won as it deffo sounds like we were the fitter side going by Andy's radio com.
A big well done to all 17 lads, things look like they are coming together. Yes it's going to be tough but Dave and the lads will give it their best and going on today's effort there is a lot of hope that the season is a good one.

Great start to the new season although we lost, good report from Andy and abley assisted by m/s Shortle,nice to hear good things happening from DW and no doubt today will be a good learning curb, 24-20 commendable result.

Listened to the game on the radio.Really impressed with our forwards and our fitness levels.Can"t help thinking we could have won that game had we not gifted them early trys through silly mistakes.Still if someone had said we would have come within 4 points of beating Barrow away from home i would have laughed at them.Injury to Staugheir aswell which disrupted things.Thorman and Presley sounded good especially Thorman whose kicking game was exemplory.
Listening to Dave Woods after the game it shows what high standards he expects from his players.Early days but very promising signs.Another easy game next week againsy Fev.Who knows if we apply ourselves correctly cut out the stupid penalties we may be in for a shock.
