It was a most entertaining match, but we probably relaxed once we scored 26!
BSJ reckons the referee and his cohorts didn’t cost us the game, but they contributed to our downfall. Ridiculous number of set restarts for some unfathomable reasons and they failed to see any forward passes, except when the Donny players hoodwinked the TJ into seeing one of ours, that probably wasn’t one, which then resulted in a try from the ensuing scrum.
LE gave the penalty count as 3-2 in the home side’s favour, but I had a bigger count of penalties awarded.
All in all the result didn’t matter and the presentation of the trophy after the match was a highlight, especially for some of our younger followers.
