NURL 2nds – 14
Lancaster – 12

By Jo Robinson

Following on from the previous week’s faultless victory against Bradford, the NURL 2nd were confident of another triumph over little known Lancaster in the Bucs Plate Quarter Finals. This was demonstrated in the opening exchanges with a series of powerful drives from the training shy Aidan Robson, single-handedly taking the Owls deep into Lancaster territory. However, handling errors brought NURL’s advance to an end, a consistent theme that dogged their performance.

NURL 1sts – 56
Bangor – 0

NURL faced international opposition on Wednesday when Last-season’s Welsh champions Bangor were welcomed to fortress Cochrane Park. After twice defeating Scotland’s finest in Napier in 08/09 the Newcastle Death Machine was highly confident going in to another home-nations encounter.

With Bangor travelling from the far west of the Britain after a 7 a.m. departure the odds were firmly in favour of the undefeated Newcastle cabal.
