Buxton 12 Bowdon 40

Apologies for not getting the match report in the paper. I did not really stand a chance as I could not even get the score right. I texted 37-12 to the Miller Holmes League, and not 40-12. We will be fined £10,000 and have to wear ladies clothing for the next 3 home games Oh yes and be deducted 20 points. (Rule 567 para12 sub para 12b.)
It was a stirring performance against Bowdon and if, there is always an if in a third team match report, they had not gone uncontested with 20 minutes to go, who knows. It was only 19-12 at that point after all.
It was great to see Gytie back on the field and to see that he has lost none of his impact. There are a few bruised and battered rib cages down Bowdon way I shouldn’t wonder. With Tidser thundering into their defence it was quite like old times. Good to see some of the U17’s back (They were all over 17!) Getting a bit of proper rugby before heading back to their winning ways in their league.
Two good tries, Simeon’s had a touch of individual skill whereas Big Birds and the hand of Gytes was just a good old fashioned forward effort.
Impressive defence from Dave T of Monk’s bar. We will have to have a spell that surname competition at the next court. Talking of which, I hope no one was ill afterwards? Good to see Jimbo and Mr Proctor back as well!
