The team had a number of changes and absences, including their massive chinned captain Chris Cockton who was in France for the weekend enjoying the culture and heritage of one of the oldest countries in the world. In other words, he was getting smashed watching the rugby.
After the short journey up the motorway, something seemed different about this Bolton side from the previous week. Perhaps it was the fact they were playing away, but despite a positive spirit in the changing room this didn't quite translate to the pitch.
If you’re looking for detail here about the game, I’m afraid you’re not going to get it, as my memory doesn’t work when I’m playing rugby. Bolton never gave up, and this showed in the second half when against the run of play chubby 9 Mike Singleton broke out of Boltons half, passed the ball to centre John Keech, received it back again and threw a Les Towler-esque dummy before scoring the only points of the game.
After a disappointing result, Bolton are determined to rebuild and pull some results out of the bad in the back end of the season.
