I watched Heath 19 v 18 Old Brod's on Saturday, as this was one of the few games still on. The groundsmen at Heath had done a great job and the pitch was in good condition, despite the elements. The game was hard and uncompromising, with the lead changing a handful of times throughout the game.
The Brod's played really well , but were undone in the final few minutes, when Heath's tenacious forwards scored an unconverted try in the corner. Neither side deserved to lose.... but Heath came away with the spoils. It was a fabulous advert for the strength of rugby in North One and Halifax in particular.
Well done to both sets of players for displaying skill , strength and determination. I hope you enjoyed the ferocity of the contest, as much as I did watching it !
Games as close as this, are the ones you remember most, when you are retired !
