Folly Lane "A" (*cough*) 52 - 4 Bury
We travelled with 14 (about 13 lads missing!) and possibly the oldest pack we've ever fielded, and an hour before kick-off we were stood outside the locked gates of Folly's ground - seems they were hoping we wouldn't show!
Started well and took the lead, and for a while we were evenly matched but then Folly's quality started to show. Folly's 1sts had conceded the away game at Leigh East, but plenty of the 1sts played today - and the much bigger pack and higher level experience started to tell. Down the middle and one channel we were solid enough, but a few lads simply didn't perform and Folly took advantage of some poor decisions in defence. Enjoyed the game despite the score, played in good spirit.
And yours truly had a try chalked off. Reckon a video ref would've given it.
I'll miss RL this winter but glad of a rest after playing 3 years straight.
