Littleborough 42 BOOTHTOWN TERRIERS 40
Littleborough 42-40 Boothtown Terriers Boothtown suffered a heartbreaking defeat to a side that beat them 50-6 at the end of last season showing how much they have improved in the off season and with some quality new signings signs are that it cold be a more success...ful campaign.Boothtown got off to a great start when new signing Scott lindsay went over in the corner rawson couldnt manage the conversion.
This spurred the home side on and they responded with 2 converted trys one awarded despite the home player going over the dead ball line skipper rawson having a long discussion with the ref refusing to disallow the try the terriers then took control of the game when Graham Charlesworth jinked his way over from 20 yards rawson converting ben mallas then forced his way over out wide and when scott lindsay forced his way over for his second rawson converting it was 20-12 to the terriers at half time.
The second half started and it wasnt long before the terriers were back on the score sheet Jason dodd going over in the corner after a great ball from Charlesworth the terriers were playing some great rugby and when wayne scott went over in the corner from a scrum base move it was 28-12 terriers.The home side then had there best spell scoring 3 converted trys to take the lead 30-28 when they scored again it looked like game over at 36-28 but the terriers scorched back up field Charlesworth stepping his way through for a super individual effort Rawson converting 36-34.
Littleborough then scored again with ten mins left unconverted before dodd went over for his second with 5 mins to go rawson converting 40-40.Boothtown still had a couple of chances to put the game to bed but then conceded a dubious penalty and the borough scrum half slotted over his sixth goal from seven in an outstanding kicking display there was still time for him to miss a last minute pen from halfway with the last kick of the game and despite outscoring the home team 8 tries to 7 the goalkicking ended up being the difference between the 2 sides.Dave Featherstone was outstanding for the terriers who on this evidence will not be pushovers and should more than hold their own this year once they tighten up the defence.
