Well done Newton & Wild Boars!
Crosfields 30 - 26 Bury
Really disappointed, we definitely lost this game ourselves - a shocking 15 minute period in defence where we let 3 tries in killed us, we improved and were the better side for the most but just couldn't convert our chances. Some terrible handling, passing and decision-making did us. Crosfield tried a bit of bullying with a LOT of knees going in but we handled it well. They had 1 sent off for dissent and 1 sin-binned for dissent in the same incident. Plus 1 from each side sin-binned in a little fight after our 6'9" second rower went 40+ yards to score, and some little

I particularly enjoyed being offered out by their coach/manager, clearly suffers a bit of small man syndrome.
