Grit and determination was the order of the day, as Percy Park ground out a well deserved victory on the road at Horden. The home side had the wind and slope in the first half and a bright autumn sun at their backs, and pinned down the Park side in their own half for most of the first 10 minutes.

On the last occasion the two sides met at Welfare Park, Andrew Turner was unerring with the boot for the home side, and opened the scoring for Horden with a penalty after the visitors were guilty of handling in a ruck.

This was Park's second opportunity to play on the new all weather pitch at Druid Park and for the second time came away with the spoils. The weather conditions and surface suited fast flowing rugby, and the crowd would not be disappointed in the game, although the home supporters would obviously have hoped for a different result.

PERCY PARK 17 - 31 SUNDERLAND

 

It was shirt sleeve order at Preston Avenue, with no wind to speak of, and weather that was more fitting to a June afternoon rather than the first week of October. Park hoped to continue the battling form of last weekend, but instead slumped to a second successive defeat this time at the hands of Sunderland.
