Fleetwood 3rd 22 vs Bolton 4th 14

Playing into a strong headwind, Bolton went 3 tries down in the first half, 0 - 15. Then just on the stroke of half-time, the referee, Sean McGlue, was caught in a melee of players, and went down like the proverbial sack of spuds. play, of course, carried on, until the players realised the ref was lying face down on the pitch. The half time whistle was blown and the referee was escorted from the pitch. One of the Fleetwood non-playing players was hastily seconded and given the whistle.
As the second hald started, Bolton took advantage of the wind to spend time in the Fleetwood 22. James Gallagher took the route 1 option to cross the line, conversion added by Joe Harte, 7 -15.
Shortly, Chris Lane, playing his first game for the club, showed quality under pressure as he drove two player over the line, to open his account, 14 - 15. Game on.
But Fleetwood were to have the final say as they added a try in the last minute, 14 - 22.
