Gateshead Stadium is 15 minutes from my house so I went along to watch them last night. They worked very hard for their win and it was touch and go right down to the last seconds. They lost their way a bit during the early to mid part of the second half when they seemed to lose a bit of concentration and they gave away too many penalties near their own line. But they rallied round and fought back and you could see what it meant to them at the end; they celebrated like they'd won the Challenge Cup! Workington didn't look much like the team which beat us in that play-off game at Cougar Park last season but fair play to their fans (a decent number) who travelled so far to watch them on a Wednesday evening. But the night belonged to Thunder...
