ALL GOLDS MATCH REPORTS WRITTEN BY CHRIS WILSON 14 OXFORD BAGGED ALL GOLDS 38-10 OXFORD SUNDAY 25 JUNE 2017 PRINCE OF WALES STADIUM After their big win against Hemel Stags, the All Golds approached their game with Oxford with confidence but after an hour’s slightly uninspiring play, the sides were locked at 10-10. Not for the first time Steve Parry inspired his side with a vital contribution. Just minutes after Harvey Burnett had levelled the scores, his flat pass sent Harrison Elliott crashing over under the posts and from then on, the All Golds were in charge. Mo Agoro had first given the home side the lead in the second minute scoring from a Davies cross-kick but former All Golds Marcus Brooker and Casey Canterbury had crossed for undonverted tries to edge the visitors in front. Lewis Reece had marked his 50th All Golds game with a spell in the sin-bin but Oxford failed to take advantage and on his return, the All Golds captain burrowed over for a try, Courtney Davies goalling for a 10-8 lead at the break. Once Elliott’s score had broken Oxford’s resistance, the All Golds made hay against a tiring side that had used their bench and had only 14 or 15 fit men available. Parry scored again before Chris Barlow trotted over in the corner and James Walter marked his 50th All Golds appearance with a touchdown. Billy Brickhill finished the scoring with a superb team try created by powerful forward surges and slick hands.

Three Barrow tries in the opening ten minutes and two in the last ten gave the scoreline a lopsided look but the promotion-chasing Raiders were always in control. Head coach Lee Greenwood lamented the flat performance by his side on their fourth trip to Cumbria this season: “Credit to Barrow they were very good. In spells we looked dangerous but we came up with too many errors in possession,” he said. “Its hard enough coming up here but we gifted Barrow far too much field position and they punished us. “Conditions were awful so it didn’t make for a great game. We were well beaten and will work hard in training ahead of Toronto.” Barrow rattled off over a point a minute in the early stages with tries from Martin Aspinwall, Dec Hulme and Shane Toal and a Lewis Charnock goal with the All Golds’ only reply coming from a Jack Mitchell try converted by Courtney Davies. A second try from Toal and a Charnock penalty after the half time hooter made the interval score 20-6. A Nathan Mossop touchdown was the only score of the half until the final ten minutes when Hulme and Ryan Fieldhouse went over to keep the Raiders on the heels of the top two.

He was also able to select Alex Gaskell for the first time since late March. But the All Golds could hold their heads high after a committed performance which saw them battle hard for the full 80 minutes and score two tries, the second from Lewis Reece worthy of a place on any highlights reel after Joe McClean shrugged off two tackles in a 40 metre surge before finding Luke Stephens in support, Reece looming at the youngster’s shoulder for the scoring pass. The Wolfpack continued their seemingly unstoppable march to the Championship with their 14th straight league victory achieved in the manner of many others by powerful forwards and exciting backs finishing clinically. Their 11 tries were shared between ten players but they could perhaps have had half a dozen more as time and again superb goalline defence from the All Golds prevented the Wolfpack from adding to their tally. Steve Parry had scored for the All Golds in the first half but there were injuries to Danny Fallon and the luckless Gaskell to contend with as the All Golds battled hard, making the Wolfpack work for their points. Despite the defeat it was a great day for the club who fully embraced the adventure of a game across the Atlantic and created a positive impression both on and off the field.

SUNDAY 25 JUNE <strong>2017</strong><br />

PRINCE OF WALES STADIUM<br />

After their big win against Hemel Stags, the<br />

<strong>All</strong> <strong>Golds</strong> approached their game with Oxford<br />

with confidence but after an hour’s slightly<br />

uninspiring play, the sides were locked at 10-10.<br />

Not for the first time Steve Parry inspired his<br />

side with a vital contribution. Just minutes after<br />

Harvey Burnett had levelled the scores, his flat<br />

pass sent Harrison Elliott crashing over under<br />

the posts and from then on, the <strong>All</strong> <strong>Golds</strong> were<br />

in charge.<br />

Mo Agoro had first given the home side the<br />

lead in the second minute scoring from a<br />

Davies cross-kick but former <strong>All</strong> <strong>Golds</strong> Marcus<br />

Brooker and Casey Canterbury had crossed<br />

for undonverted tries to edge the visitors in<br />

front.<br />

Lewis Reece had marked his 50th <strong>All</strong> <strong>Golds</strong><br />

game with a spell in the sin-bin but Oxford<br />

failed to take advantage and on his return,<br />

the <strong>All</strong> <strong>Golds</strong> captain burrowed over for a try,<br />

Courtney Davies goalling for a 10-8 lead at the<br />

break.<br />

Once Elliott’s score had broken Oxford’s<br />

resistance, the <strong>All</strong> <strong>Golds</strong> made hay against a<br />

tiring side that had used their bench and had<br />

only 14 or 15 fit men available. Parry scored<br />

again before Chris Barlow trotted over in the<br />

corner and James Walter marked his 50th <strong>All</strong><br />

<strong>Golds</strong> appearance with a touchdown.<br />

Billy Brickhill finished the scoring with a superb<br />

team try created by powerful forward surges<br />

and slick hands.<br />

It was all a bit reminiscent of the Keighley<br />

game way back at the start of the season and<br />

another all-too-rare glimpse of what the team<br />

is capable of.<br />
