Well, I took some stick last week for the Clarksonesk metaphor concerning the performance against Darlington, so this week I'll stick to the facts.
City were deserved winners with 4 tries a conversion and penalty to Park's two penalties kicked by Phil Morse in the absence of Marcus Rutter who was sidelined due to a dead leg sustained in training on Wednesday. Although the Park pack utterly destroyed the Durham City scrum, there was no penetration and the back's apart from Scotty at scrum half and Griff at full back were poor on the day.
Let's hope Santa brings an early Christmas present next week at home to Gateshead.
