On Saturday we went away to play camp hill in Birmingham, Mrs Mpofu's old school, with out our captain and star full back. We were confident going into the game but suffered a rude awakening as the re scrum capped centre burst through us for their opening try. A good response and try from Loydall got us back in it but red scrum cap scored again to make it14-5 at half time. Paddy price saw red early in the second half and charged headlong into a ruck only to be cautioned by the referee. From the resulting penalty the ball was kicked into touch and the line out was mid way through when paddy again broke the peace. The ball was still in the air as he took out his opposing number. As the ref called him over he admitted that he hadn't gone for the ball but the opponent instead and narrowly avoided yellow. After an injury scare Tildesley broke throw and scored only to have the lead opened again by camp hill to 21-12. George Patrick scored of a superb him by Ran Scott to make it 17-21 and the uncharacteristic success from the tee by Loydall made it 21-19. We toiled on but to now apparent effect but when the clock was red the ball was pun wide and Ran Scott received and pass and dived over for the victory 24-21 (with a poor missed kick by loydall in front of the posts)
