CHAMPIONS LEAVE IT LATE

26/9/2015

 
Men's champions Cheltenham were given a scare by Caledonia before edging a 16-15 victory at Ponds Forge, Sheffield, today.

The Scots staged a superb rally to recover from 12-9 down towards the end of the third period to claim a brief 13-12 lead with goals by Andrew Woodall (2), Alasdair Campbell and Mark Speed.

The game went to 14-14 before goals by Michael Thomas and Mark Banwell settled Cheltenham nerves and made the score 16-14. Chris Campbell added the final Caledonia goal six seconds from the end.

The Bristol-Lancaster clash was also decided in the final period. With four minutes to go, it was 8-8. Then the 'old firm' of Alex Parsonage and Tom Curwen scored vital goals to snatch a 10-8 lead for Lancaster. An Ashley Castle penalty reduced the gap near the end.
