v SKIPTON 3rds 8/3/08

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeasy now!!!

The Viscounts returned to their victorious ways with a hard working graft job up at Skipton. Played in shocking conditions, the 'Counts toughed it out against a big Skipton pack with the backs deciding to leave their hands in Otley. With the Saracens called off, we nicked Mossy and his mate James and headed up confident after our big win against Skip earlier in the year. In fact it was our 1st win!!

With a gale blowing across the pitch, bringing sheet rain with it, Viscounts decided to run everything and after a 70 meter break from James in the center, a couple of phases later he had scored under the sticks for Skipp to kick an easy goal. Skipton returned and scored when their scrumhalf ran through unopposed from a line out for a converted try.

HALFTIME SKIPTON 7-7 VISCOUNTS

The 2nd half started with Skipton on the attack for a good 15 minutes which only excellent defence, particular one tackle by farmboy Shep, kept the scores level. Viscounts were relived by a great clearance from Beefy and from that point stayed in the Skipton half. A couple of drives nearly got the try that would win it as time was running out before James went on a solo run and off loaded to Beefy who weaved through next to the posts for a 7 pointer. The kick off was caught and Beef launched it into touch for the final whistle.

FULLTIME SKIPTON 7-14 VISCOUNTS

Saturday saw the return of a Viscount Legend. Hally slipped in at 9 as if he had never been away, just a shame he brought that shite weather with him!
