Where's Sam Pointon these days? He came on for us in the away fixture last season and was a real live.

Does the same hold good for Louis Roach?

Yes, were you not aware of that he signed with Sale Sharks but seems he is getting lots of game time with Sale FC.

Yes I knew he had signed for Sale Sharks but didn’t know he was turning out for Sale F.C.

Another gritty victory in a game we would probably have lost last season. The immaculate boot of Cliffie Hodgson made the difference at the death. Sale FC were a very physical side, we did well to cope with that. Some puzzling scrum penalties against us, but our backs were causing them problems all the time. Great win anyway, we're fifth in the table, a point behind Rams, two behind Club, a further three behind Rosslyn Park and then Mond are four ahead of them.

Elsewhere, Hull Ionians drew with Roth, putting Canterbury bottom.

Agree with the above.
Didn’t see the fracas which saw both Danny and Buster yellow carded but thought we did really well to end that 10 minutes only 7:3 down. I don’t know what was bugging James Williams but he seemed intent on causing problems.
Cheap shot I know but some of the ref’s decisions completely escaped me. I am amazed Sale were not penalised for blatantly obstructing Oli Morris right in front of the touch judge.
Thought Cliffie and Jacques were outstanding.

Wonder what inspired our two South African players today

[kingsheathlad]

Not only Cliffie`s goal kicking but his kicks to touch were excellent making so much ground.Agreed we would of lost that game last season.Fortunately James Williams missed those last two penalties but that is pressure for you,where as Cliffie nailed all is.
come on Mose.......

See above, but in addition Ravai Fatiaki had a fine game, as did Harry O'Brien at fullback.

Mose continue their unbeaten record at home in an entertaining game so five out of five. A welcome win as BM lost away tie at Rosslyn Park 27-21 last week. Not sure what sparked three yellow card scrap but it involved Danny Wright and Buster Lawrence went to help his
mate. Ex BM James Williams was involved but got away with it.

Thanks Martin, much appreciated. Looks like it was an even contest and one we probably would have lost last season.

Anyone heading to Brickfields on Saturday? Heavy ground conditions are what Albion live for. I hope we will be suitably prepared.

I thought James Williams was the third yellow card. What exactly did he get away with?

Pam and I will be at the Plymouth game on Saturday. We are seeing friends in Redruth on Friday first then go across to Plymouth on Saturday.

If anyone wants a one way lift back I will have room for two in my car.

Just let me know.
