Andy. If you or Sharon are broadcasting your commentary this evening, what frequency will you be on?. Thank you.

Many years ago, I spoke at a dinner, I forget where, with David and I remember two of his stories. The game of Rugby was invented at Rugby School when they were playing football and William Webb Ellis picked the ball up and ran with it and placed it behind the goalposts and said, ' What shall shall I do with it now?' And that's how the rugby ball got its shape. And Keith Jarrett who featured in a very famous win against England in Wales celebrated with his team mates and then went to catch his bus home about midnight. At the bus station, the bus driver recognised him and said to jump aboard and he would take him home to his village. An inspector then arrived and said 'No bus leaves this depot after midnight,' The driver replied that it was Keith Jarrett who had scored 19 points against the English at the Arms Park. The Inspector then said, 'In that case, take a double decker as he might fancy a fag on the way home.'

That was my first reaction to the game, strange. York were the better team but I thought that Swinton were better with the ball in hand. A strangely quiet second half.

Yet another strange game, never looked like losing in reality but made hard work of it, not helped by spoiling tactics employed by Swinton, which is unusual for them as they can and do play some good rugby. Ref made it hard for himself at times, typical end of season game really. Great to see Pauli back, obviously not match fit but he put in some good minutes. We were a bit disjointed in the halves might have been better keeping Dee at 6 and putting Daley into the pack if only for continuity. Swinton to their credit kept at it right to the end and beyond due to the bizarre finish.

I should have added that the Hull player who criticised the referee received a seven match ban.

A very talented Leigh player, and shall we call a 'character', maliciously throws a York player to the ground, no remorse, receives a yellow card and a one match ban which is being contested. Another Leigh player, after five minutes, inadvertently commits an ugly spear tackle for which he is openly contrite and apologetic. He receives a red card and a 6 match ban. A Hull player at half time, criticises Mr Kendall the referee and receives a yellow card. He then says something else and receives a red card ruling him out for the second half. The old adage, Sticks and Stones comes to mind. Am I missing something?

Neil. Will there be any hospitality packages available for this game? I have a dear friend who has a dear friend in Batley and he would like to treat him, and me and others.
