BROUGHTON
RED ROSE 19 SEATON 22
Both teams deserve a lot of praise for an excellent game of rugby league
which hung in the balance until the final minute. Brutal defence by both
sides meant scoring opportunities were kept to a minimum but Seaton
opened the scoring after good hands by Lewis Crellin and Callum Phillips
put Carl Stephenson through a gap to score and with Jon Richardson
adding the conversion Seaton were 6-0 up. Harry Kaufman scored an
unconverted try on the stroke of half time to bring Broughton back into
the game. The first quarter of the second half was all Broughton and
Brad Nixon and Kaufman both scored good tries and with Nixon adding a
conversion and a drop goal Broughton had a 15-6 lead. Callum Phillips
brought Seaton back into the game after a fine solo try with Richardson
adding the conversion. Shane Ackerley put Seaton back in front scoring
under the sticks and with Richardson adding the conversion Seaton led
18-15.Broughton came back and scored after Seaton dropped a kick on the
last tackle and at 19-18 it looked like it was Broughtons game but
Seaton just wouldnt give in and after good work by Seatons forwards
Daniel Watson crashed over to bring an end to a fantastic game of rugby
league.
