IRONMEN SHOW STEEL IRONMEN 28 – 20 ALL GOLDS SATURDAY 29 JULY 2017 STEBONHEATH PARC The All Golds’ quest for a League 1 Shield final place got off to an inauspicious start as the Ironmen condemned Lee Greenwood’s side to their fourth straight defeat with their first win in this fixture since 2013. They were indebted to a late recovery after the All Golds had themselves clawed back a 16-8 deficit to lead 20-16 with 15 minutes left. It had all started well for the All Golds with Brad Kislingbury’s 13th minute try but it was cancelled out by Curtis Ford – one of four debutants fielded by the Ironmen. The home side took the lead through Andy Gay after a defensive error had given them a repeat set but Steve Parry crossed for his customary try to cut the home lead to 10-8 at the interval. It was extended soon after the resumption thanks to a converted try by Morgan Evans and the Ironmen looked in control. However, Phil Cowburn scored from a Parry kick and Ben Stead took over the kicking duties from the injured Courtney Davies to knock over the extras. The All Golds were soon in front after a classic team try started by Mo Agoro and finished by Joe McClean after Cowburn had broken into the backfield to supply the scoring pass. Stead’s goal pulled the All Golds 20-16 in front but the last quarter of an hour belonged to the home side. Ben Jones started the recovery with a close range score before Shaun Tennant picked up a chip kick and extended the lead to 26-20, Jones adding the two for an eight-point lead, which proved to be the clincher.
