Most people seemed happy enough to buy a programme and chuck a donation in the buckets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopping Mad Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Just in from the Lock Lane-Longhorns tie. Says it all that the home team were absolutely begging for the final whistle. Down to 12 (after a 70th-minute red card), and with the All Ireland champions camped on their line, Lock Lane held out to win 16-10. For much of the game, however, Longhorns were the better team. Stats for possession and field position would be in their favour. Unfortunately, the visitors displayed more madness than method when threatening the Lock Lane line, though the hosts defended very well. A 16-page programme was included with £2.50 admission. Crowd was about 300. Horrible weather - cold with a bitter wind - for playing and spectating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big improvement on their (Longhorns) score in the Challenge Cup last season when they lost 58-10 to West Hull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I watched that tie, too. Before kick-off today, one of the Longhorns officials told me their players are now much less raw and naive than at West Hull. They certainly impressed me this afternoon. Lock Lane knew they'd been in a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you enjoyed the game. Didn't make it in the end as by the time I'd gone out cycling, got some lunch and sorted myself out the 2pm kick off was too early for me. Ended up going to watch York City instead, should have saved my coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopping Mad Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 One thing to add from my chat with the Longhorns people: on Saturday afternoon, they watched the East Leeds-Batley Boys tie. They were shocked by the amount of abuse the match officials received from the sidelines. Wouldn't happen in Ireland, they said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
