Well where do i start, 2 out of 3 and growing in confidence, ok last week was a slight hiccup but came back this week knowing we had to dominate from the start, but after being 5 nil down in the first
5 mins, i thought this is going to be a long game.So once we got our first points on the board everyone started to work together and communicate, we finally sussed out there backline and then controlled the game, with tactiful kicking and sticking to the game plan we found ourselves scoring trys and collecting penaltys and knotts had no reply, so once again great win lads and lets keep it going throughout this long and enduring season.

It was a very spirited performance from the Hornblower’s who came out of the changing room fired up for the game. The atmosphere was great considering the past two games and the lads knew they ware in for a hard game as always from Knottingley. There was some fantastic opening tackling from the newly returned Dirk Von Dike who really set the pace over the whole game. Further tries were scored by Dave moss Blundell who powered over for two tries in the game and had a very good first game back after the cricket season. Dan Gravill continued his good form with a very good running game and really stood out at fullback there for was rewarded with a score. The next score was rewarded to the temporary skipper Bob who also converted four of the eight tries in the game. Adi Potter, Webster, Sykes and Bulmer also got over the white wash. Over all the boys really pulled it out the bag and was rewarded with a excellent win.
