Re: C1 v Gateshead away Sunday 4/9/11 : Mon Sep 05, 2011 7:58 am
Just wanted to say a big thank you to the Supporters Trust for arranging the bus to Gateshead.Baz won the draw and donated the prize back - nice one, Baz.
Thanks to Gateshead for making it a cheap day out with the £1 entry fee too.
I echo Wanderer's comments about the performance. We were very dull first half. We played with more confidence in the second half and our kicking game improved considerably.
The funniest moment of the day ...
Dom Dee scores career best try!
The ball is collected inside the Dons' half; he jinks inside one man, moves further infield and finds a gap; the defenders are far too slow to catch this slippery eel of a prop-forward ...
He moves further infield and spots another gap; two more defenders try to close him down but to no avail. He crosses the halway line and waves goodbye to the three players who try in vain to make any impression on the man who would have won the 100 metres race on the nearby athletics track!
The announcer declares the try is scored by Dom Dee!!
It was the best ever try scored by a man who was still sitting on the bench ... it was in fact an excellent try by Gareth Potts!!
