All credit to Siddal for a fine defensive display, midway through the second half it looked like they were crumbling but they tenaciously stuck to the task and even scored a try at the death.

A nice big, flat pitch which looked in reasonable condition considering the weather we've been having, but I don't know what it was like in the middle. The ground coped with the crowd, but only just. The area around the pitch was flat and would have benefitted from a shallow terrace (like the Fylde ground where Blackpool played). But obviously that depends on what size there usual crowd is.

Nice clubhouse with a selection of beers and hot food and drinks. Outside were more food stalls selling BBQ and pulled pork.

All in all I thought Siddal put up a good effort, well done.



Edit: I thought the ref (Jamie Bloom) was reasonably fair.

Heartily agree with Dreamer about the match. Siddal are a good tough side who put a lot into the game. The venue was OK and coped quite well. I too though Jamie Bloem was fair and in fact if you were a Siddal fan you may have though he favoured Keighley with a penalty count 8-5 in our favour. Scott Leatherbarrow continues to impress and Brendan Rawlins had a stand-out game.
