Quote Marto="Marto"WIZARDS EARN GRAND FINAL PLACE AFTER BUFFALOES SEE RED AND YELLOW

Bramley Buffaloes 16 (6) v Warrington Wizards 27 (19)
Warrington Wizards started well and deserved their victory as they showed good control throughout the game. The Buffaloes started poorly and were playing catch-up from as early as the 17th minutes. However they showed great resilience to make a game of it despite the referee’s interventions. In the past there have been some very feisty games between these two well matched teams, however surprisingly this was one of the better games, although the numbers dismissed and sin-binned would suggest something to the contrary. Games of this magnitude need experienced officials and the RFL have a responsibility to appoint as such, sadly this was not the case today and the game suffered, however the best team won on the day.

I think that last paragraph sums it all up perfectly - well done Andy! Bramley didn't look interested for the first 10/15 minutes and Warrington certainly were more hungry for the ball and it paid off. However, Bramley tend to be slower to get out of the blocks and pile on the pressure as the opposition tire in the latter stages of the game and sadly we were prevented from doing so yesterday.
It certainly wasn't a dirty match by any stretch of the imagination (zero blood/body/broken bones count I imagine) but I would agree that the best team won and the discipline that has vastly improved this year under Mark just seemed to get lost, at a big cost for an automatic place in the final.
Let's hope that heads don't drop and we can turn it round next week against Underbank - COME ON BRAMLEY!
