Phew...that was close!
Scarborough did a Morley and set off like a train scoring four tries and securing the bonus point within no time at all. It wasn't as quick as Morley's 15 minutes but it was still good going.
In all honesty Scarborough rarely got out of 2nd gear and we aren't good enough to win matches at that level. PP came back gradually throughout the match keeping the scoreboard ticking over.. eventually they ended up taking g the lead with around 10 minutes to go.
Most people probably still thought Scarborough would come back if only we could shift into a higher gear. Thankfully we did in the last two minutes and scored a 5th try to secure the match.
Tough day. PP a good side clearly playing with the shackles off and that was to their benefit.
Big crowd but a little flat.
We'll refereed.
All three Scarborough teams recorded victory's with the 2nd team putting a big score on Beverley (60 odd I think).
Some interesting results today. Good for Cleck and West Leeds but not good for Brid or Morley (big surprise).
Blackburn romped in easy winners.
Game of 2 halves!! Much like the England Scotland game the other week...
Scarborough playing a very high tempo first half capitalising on PPs mistakes. PP were still sat on their coach trip and it looked like a 60 point game to scarbs.
Second half was a role reversal, PP we’re playing the better rugby and moving the ball well.
Speaking to some Alicadoos in the bar after they were very complimentary of the PP attack when they finally got going.
Not to criticise referees but we couldn’t believe how the scarbs player didn’t get a yellow after that tip tackle on our hooker, ref had his cards out and after a while put them back while he was receiving treatment.
If that had happened and park didn’t get a yellow in the last 5 it could have been one of the comebacks of the season.
For the neutral it would have been a great game to watch!!
