Bolton 4s notch up their first away win of the season

After 15 minutes of mid-park play Bolton pushed into the Blackpool 22, with strong runs from Mitchell Dwyers and Steve Taylor. Blackpool conceded a couple of penalties and from a quick one, the Bolton backs were the recipients, and then in a tackle the quick offload, to prop Reece Sullivan, who just happened to be loitering in the right place and he ploughed his way over the line for his first try for the Club. So on his all-time list of things to do, he now has only to score a conversion, a drop goal and run the length of the pitch to score.
The very heavy pitch was now slowing the game down and the Bolton forwards gave as good as they got to ensure that Bolton maintained their lead. Good performances today from Jack Crompton and Ross Chamberlain in the back row. And the backs took their chances when they could, with Steve Taylor finishing off one such chance. 14 - 0.
After a poor restart in the second half Bolton conceded a penalty, which Blackpool kicked. 14 - 3. But the game became one of stalemate, as the heavy pitch took its toll on the players.
