Dunbar 6,902 Report post Posted January 26, 2019 West Bowling beat Hammersmith 42-12. I was hoping for a Hammersmith win and a home tie in the next round I could get to... but not to be. Well done West Bowling. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopping Mad 816 Report post Posted January 26, 2019 Tense, tight game at Scawthorpe as Bentley pipped the Army 18-16 in front of about 650 spectators. The visitors led 6-0 after eight minutes and 8-6 at the hour mark before two tries, both converted, gave the Yorkshire League club an 18-10 lead. The Army got a converted try in stoppage time but, despite the referee adding another four minutes, Bentley held out with some comfort. Bentley, who trained over Christmas to be ready for this big occasion, looked fit and determined. A test for anyone in round two! Admission was by donation and an eight-page programme sold for £2. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most people seemed happy enough to buy a programme and chuck a donation in the buckets. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopping Mad 816 Report post Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) 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. Edited January 27, 2019 by Hopping Mad 3 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hopping Mad 816 Report post 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. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
