and field position given away by a<br />
penalty, the Cougars pulled away<br />
to lead 24 - 14. Though Lamont<br />
Bryan’s show of strength as he<br />
scored despite the attentions of<br />
at least four defenders kept the<br />
<strong>All</strong> <strong>Golds</strong> in touch, the score went<br />
unconverted and they trailed 24-18.<br />
KEIGHLEY COUGARS<br />
vs. ALL GOLDS REPORT<br />
SAME OLD SCENE<br />
following a broken hand. Almer<br />
Tagayuna received a knock to the<br />
elbow and then one to the head<br />
when he returned to the field in<br />
the second half and may face a<br />
week or so out.<br />
KEIGHLEY COUGARS 42<br />
– 18 GLOUCESTERSHIRE<br />
ALL GOLDS<br />
Sunday 17th April, Cougar<br />
Park, Keighley<br />
Courtney Davies and others all<br />
took bangs of varying severity<br />
leaving Lee Greenwood with a<br />
selection headache before the<br />
game against Keighley.<br />
After quickly equalising<br />
Rochdale’s early score through<br />
the excellent Jamie Murphy,<br />
the <strong>All</strong> <strong>Golds</strong> fell behind to two<br />
quick tries which seemed to be<br />
the preview to another collapse.<br />
However, this did not materialise<br />
and at 20-4 they were still just<br />
about in the game at the break.<br />
After a period of pretty dire play<br />
in the second half, the Hornets<br />
extended their lead and that<br />
looked to be that but two tries<br />
in almost as many minutes from<br />
Phil Cowburn (thanks to Jonny<br />
Leather’s ball steal) and Leather<br />
himself, as he supported a<br />
magnificent break from Lamont<br />
Bryan.<br />
However, a mistake on the next<br />
set conceded an interception try<br />
and there was no way back from<br />
there.<br />
TEAM: Jamie Murphy (t, 2g);<br />

WRITTEN BY CHRIS WILSON<br />
At Keighley it was the same story.<br />
The <strong>All</strong> <strong>Golds</strong> were competitive<br />
for much of the game but<br />
conceded 12 points in the final<br />
ten minutes to give the scoreline<br />
a lop-sided look to it that wasn’t<br />
really deserved.<br />
One serious bright spark was<br />
the performance of new signing<br />
James Rowland who oozed class.<br />
His kicking game earned the<br />
<strong>All</strong> <strong>Golds</strong> repeat sets and he<br />
dummied his way over for his<br />
side’s opening try before giving<br />
Brad Kislingbury his first try for<br />
the <strong>All</strong> <strong>Golds</strong>.<br />
Sadly, Courtney Davies and<br />
Jamie Murphy couldn’t convert<br />
but the <strong>All</strong> <strong>Golds</strong> led 8-6. By the<br />
interval, the Cougars were 18-8<br />
ahead thanks to tries scored from<br />
repeat sets donated by <strong>All</strong> <strong>Golds</strong><br />
indiscipline.<br />
Rowland’s sublime pass put Joe<br />
McClean through a gap and the<br />
second row celebrated his 50th<br />
<strong>All</strong> <strong>Golds</strong> game by racing through<br />
to score under the posts.<br />
Again on the back of possession<br />
The Cougars had a try disallowed<br />
in similar circumstances to one<br />
Josh <strong>All</strong>ison had chalked off in the<br />
first period but the end was near<br />
and with 15 minutes left, Keighley<br />
captain Paul Handforth saw a<br />
gap and sent loose forward Ash<br />
Lindsay through it for the try.<br />
A penalty immediately afterwards<br />
and a try with the last play of the<br />
game blew the scoreline out to<br />
42-18. Harsh and unfair, but the<br />
story of the season so far.<br />
