Colne 2nd 13 vs Bolton 4th 10

Good news - at least the rain held off while the game was played
Bad news - too late, the pitch was already reminiscent of the trenches in WW1
Given the conditions, this was never going to be an expansive, free flowing game. It got well and truly bogged down midfield for most of the game.
After an extended mifield tussle, eventually C&N concede a penalty which Joe Harte pops over, 3 - 0.
As Bolton react to a couple of off the ball cheap shots, Colne take advantage to score, 3 - 7
And so it remained at half time.
Once again the game got stuck in the middle, with both teams failing to make much progress. Then , surprisingly, Bolton strung together several good phases of possession and Harte slips thru a gap and with one man to beat feeds Jack Crompton who finished it off under the posts, 10 - 7.
Bolton concede a penalty, 10 - 10
Bolton concede a further penalty, 10 - 13.
Bolton are awarded a penalty in the Colne 22. And the referee indicates final play of the game.
Good news - the penalty is in front of the posts
Bad news - we decide to go for glory or bust and we knock on :-(
