Swinton Report

[Spelly]

Lions 34-36 'Ornits.

For the second week running, we lost by just a frustrating two points! 

We dominated the first half, and let 24-10 at the interval, but Rochdale certainly bossed the second period. In the end, they scored seven tries to our six, so the margin of their victory is probably just about right. 

Kidd left out Wood, Saywell, and English, as he uses this competition as an expeeriment, to find who our best seventeen are. I don't think there's any doubt, that trio will be in our line-up when he's finalised his plans.

It's the Pinks at home next week, and much as I'd love to turn over my least favourite team, I'm not holding my breath!

Could you have kicked the last second conversion Spelly?

Heard the last 2 mins on the radio - real heartbreaker that last conversion attempt!

Could you have kicked the last second conversion Spelly?

It was from the left touch-line, and he's a left-footed kicker, so it couldn't have been more difficult, but he'd already landed one from the same spot earlier in the game! 

When you said "you" I presume it meant us as a team, rather than me personally!

I did actually mean you

Surely you'd have made it with adrenaline alone?!!!

Thanks for the compliment mate, but I'm more than happy being this side of the touch-line!
