Bradford & Bingley
3rd XV 14 – 13 Skipton 2nd XV
Playing a club with a considerably higher league position,
Skipton again fielded a young, adventurous side. The early jousts went in Skipton's favour
resulting in a cheekily taken poacher's try for Jonny Kulik which he unfortunately
failed to convert.
A try quickly followed for Ash Greaves playing his
first game of the season. As a spectacle
the game was somewhat dour with the young Skipton side getting involved in a
wrestling contest with a bigger heavier side and the forwards in particular
squandering the experienced back line available to them who had very limited
chances to show their abilities.
