Currently 10-0 to Wests Warriors over London Chargers about 5 out from half time

That's the half time score.

Good game, well matched physically but Wests just that bit more organised in attack and defence.

Two quick Chargers tries at the start of the 2nd half. Both conversions missed so 10-8

There’s no doubting the crowd is great but getting battered every week is a sure way for that to disappear. 

 

Jeez they will get battered in the season ahead but Cornwall didn’t get battered today. The best side won but it was a good game and close in the end.

Even with WathBrow in the rebuilding stage that looked generous,wish I was a betting man.

I was shocked by that. Considering Rochdale were -40 to beat Skolars from the same division, I think someone’s made an error pricing it like that but I don’t mind, it will pay for some more food and drink in Portugal this coming week.

Just as a fun aside.

I was stood next to the guy doing the commentary for the Web stream.  He knew the names of all the Wests players and one or two of the Chargers so I assumed he was affiliated with the former.

At one point in the first half he said "Wests must have the best goal line defence of any team in the World... amateur or professional".

I thought it was just a tiny smidgen, a hair of an exaggeration.

Siddal 14-8 West Hull, a really enjoyable and tight tussle.

I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.
