Latchford Albion A 12Bold Miners A 14
BOLD got out of jail for the second week running. It was winger Mike Mitchell who stepped out of tackles to plunge over in the corner, the conversion was missed.
The big Latchford outfit replied with a converted try to lead 6-4 at half time.
After the break Gary Talbot marshalled his pack well bringing forwards Graeme Bannister, Dave Davies and John Mayor thundering in to the Latchford pack and this constant pressure led to sub Gaz Mercer sending big Dave Davies crashing over out wide.
The only sour note in the game was when Bold full back Ste Dumphy was carried off with a serious knee injury.
Bold's lack of discipline, conceding several pointless penalties, led to Latchford re-establishing their lead when the right centre raced in under the posts.
Another two points from the kick and Bold trailed 10-8.
But again Bold produced the goods when the inspirational hooker Gary Talbot put Joe Haggerty away to score under the posts. Steve Rybczynski ensured the two league points went to Bold as he calmly added the extras.
Man of the match was Graeme Bannister, with captain Richard Mayor, Gary Talbot and Alan Lethbridge all playing well. Back to top
