If by starting brightly you mean giving Barrow a penalty in there first set and completing a set (which I'd be intrigued to see how many we did) then yes, we started brightly.

I did say until their second try

Well the only plus for me was that we weren't nilled!

Oh and they didn't reach 100.

Very good day out spoiled only by a 60min delay on the M6 (which cleared on passing an AA van repairing a car

) and that 5h!t3 wearing OUR colours on the pitch.

I wonder how many Championship One sides would have let so many points in and scored just one themselves? And to be honest our try was the only time we even looked like scoring. In fact we were that bad I never once called the ref

think batley have the hardest run-in

And that was after about 8 minutes, wasn't it?

Seriously we looked as though we'd given up, at 18-0 - I know I had!
