My first CC Final. Holdsworth was so pro-Yaaarksher full stop. He never made Pendlebury pack down properly all game, so that as soon as the ball came out the scrum, he was stood next to our first receiver ready to tackle them.
The Pendlebury ball knock-out was pure luck, whilst Platt said afterwards instead of passing to Elia (the forward pass), he could and should have just scored himself.
But at least one of the Saints players was kind enough to show Wilf Ball the George.
It was a great game of rugby, obviously disappointed with the result, but it could have gone either way.
Calella here we come
Glad I wasn't the only one wanting the scum to win yesterday, rather a big club go out than them.
As for Barcelona, normal service resumed, not overly keen on Catalan at the minute but hope they hand them a mighty good hiding
"The great fallacy is that the game is first and last about winning. It is nothing of the kind. The game is about glory, it is about doing things in style and with a flourish, about going out and beating the other lot, not waiting for them to die of boredom." Danny Blanchflower.
Might have been written by a footballer about football - but never a truer word............
Just realised I can't make the semi final if we get through!
