SEATON STARTED THIS GAME BRILLIANTLY AND SOME BIG DEFENCE FROM THEM FORCED AN ERROR FROM THE HOME SIDE. FROM THE RESULTING SCRUM JAMES WILSON CROSSED TO GIVE THEM A 4-0 LEAD.SEATON HAD BARROW CAMPED ON THEIR LINE AND THE HOME SIDE WERE LET OFF THE HOOK BY SOME BIZZARE REFEREEING DECISIONS.THE REFEREES DECISIONS TOOK THE MOMENTUM OUT OF SEATONS GAME AND HANDED IT TO THE HOME SIDE.ON THE BACK OF THESE DECISIONS BARROW SCORED 2 TRIES TO TAKE A 10-4 HALF TIME LEAD.DANNY HARGREAVES SCORED OUT WIDE  FOR SEATON TO BRING THEM BACK INTO THE GAME BUT THEN MORE OF THE SAME FROM THE REF TOOK THE GAME AWAY FROM SEATON.
 
THIS WAS THE WORST CASE OF REFEREE BIAS WITNESSED BY THE SEATON COACHING STAFF AND THE COACH LOAD OF SUPPORTERS WHO ATTENDED THE GAME.THE REFEREE TOOK SEATON BACK 15 METRES WHILST ONLY TAKING THE HOME SIDE BACK 5 METRES, THIS ALLOWED THE HOME SIDE SO MUCH TIME ON THE BALL WHILST SEATON WERE GETTING HIT BEFORE THEY COULD PASS IT ALSO THE SEATON LADS HAD TO USE UP SO MUCH ENERGY TRYING TO GET BACK 15 METRES. THE HOME SIDES MARKERS WERE NEVER SQUARE ALL THE GAME AND THE REFEREE ALLEGEDLY KEPT FORGETTING THE AMOUNT OF TACKLES HE GAVE THE HOME SIDE AND THEY WERE REGULARLY AWARDED 7 PLAY ATTACKING SETS.THE HOME SIDE DONE 6 KICK CHASES AND THEIR BACK LINE WERE 5 YARDS OFF SIDE ON EVERY ONE - THE REFEREE SAID THEY WERE ALL ON.
