Dalton 24, Bold Miners 18

UNDER-strength Bold produced a brave show against Dalton. From the kick-off quick-thinking Darren Anders sent Chris Anders over for the first try.

Bold prop forwards Chris Kean and Ricky Mayor started to dictate and after a strong run from Mayor Keane scored. However, Dalton's big pack began to get on top and two quick tries and a conversion put them in front at half-time. Bold started the second half strongly and after a great run from G Bannister, Ste Perry went over in the corner. Anders converted. However two tries and two conversions put Dalton 24-14 in front. Bold never gave up and after good runs from D Scott and Ian Honey, Neil Kilshaw went over in the corner.

Grundy Excavations man of the match was Chris Burgess and also in great form were Dave Scott, Ian Honey and Darren Anders.
