SAME OLD STORY<br />
This seems to be the story<br />
of the season so far as the<br />
<strong>All</strong> <strong>Golds</strong> seem to match<br />
their opponents for 60-70<br />
minutes and then fade off<br />
in the last ten to give the<br />
scorelines against us a false<br />
reading and this continued at<br />
Rochdale and Keighley.<br />
The preparations didn’t<br />
start well at Rochdale as a<br />
disruption with the team<br />
bus meant the players only<br />
arrived 30 minutes before<br />
kickoff and this showed at<br />
the start of the game as the<br />
<strong>All</strong> <strong>Golds</strong> started off slowly<br />
and at half time trailed by<br />
20 points to 4. They came<br />
out in the second half with<br />
a spirited performance and<br />
got the scoreline back to<br />
a respectable 26-16 but an<br />
inception try for Rochdale<br />
on 75 minutes and another<br />
try three minutes later made<br />
the final score 38-16. And<br />
that was the same old story<br />
at Keighley. After 60 minutes<br />
it was only the missed<br />
conversions that meant the<br />
scores were not level at 24-<br />
24 but trailing 24-18 with 20<br />
minutes to go a respectable<br />
scoreline was on the cards.<br />
Once again the team faded<br />
late on and 18 unanswered<br />
points from Keighley in the<br />
last 15 minutes meant a<br />
disappointing 42-18 defeat.<br />
50 UP<br />
At Keighley Joe McClean<br />
became just the third player<br />
in <strong>All</strong> <strong>Golds</strong> history to reach<br />
50 appearances for the<br />
Golden Fern. The other two<br />
players being Phil Cowburn<br />
and Matt Bradley. Well done,<br />
Joe. Here’s to the next 50!<br />
