Telford 7 - 15 Newton

Unfortunately 7 Telford's excellent winning run came to an end yesterday lunch time as we were defeated by a very strong Newton side.  Despite never giving up, it was the sheer physical size that told in the end, and Telford were unable to deal with 2 or 3 of Newton's key players.

I was very pleased to see that despite going down by a coupple of scores the team never let their head's drop, and continued playing to the very last minute.  Some pride was restored by the evasive George Pope, who went on one of his trade mark solo darting runs to touch down under the posts, the conversion was added.

Well done to Newton they were deserved winners, but well done to us on finishing a very respectable 2nd place in what was a very competitive and well supported tournament.
