Dragons v Celtic

[cumberlandsashes81]

From Brewery field in Wales... seems to be a half-decent crowd there. Celtic are wearing their red 'away' strip.

Dragons coming off a close loss to Saints and Celtic coming off their first win.

Just about to kick-off... Celtic will kick-off proceedings...

 

[cumberlandsashes81]

Hannay scores out wide for Celtic... Came from field position after Dragons coughed up the ball bringing back a Celtic bomb... a penalty later and Celtic are in...

 

[cumberlandsashes81]

YES! Bird responds for Catalans!

Great 40 / 20 from Bosc (?) sets up nice position for Catalans to score from...

6-all now...

 

[cumberlandsashes81]

Possible try for Catalans disallowed... nice kick into the in-goal knocked on from one player to another...

 

[cumberlandsashes81]

Elima in! Popped a great pass and up the middle... too easy... Bosc takes the kick with his jersey half ripped off...

 

[cumberlandsashes81]

Another try! Mogg in from a Bird kick...

A dodgy character, but gee he's a fine player (Bird, that is)...

 

[cumberlandsashes81]

Meanwhile, Sheffield lead Toulouse 12 - 0...

 

[ParraEelsNRL]

go dragons and toulouse

 

[cumberlandsashes81]

Guissett bombs a try... dropping a simple pass in front of the line...

 

[ParraEelsNRL]

dropped over the line from celtic

 

[cumberlandsashes81]

Great defence from the Dragons! Tangata-Toa seemed assured of scoring then but is denied!

 

[ParraEelsNRL]

lost ball from celtic in attack, come on guys, hold the ball.

 

[ParraEelsNRL]

catalans forward pass.

pretty scappy so far

 

[cumberlandsashes81]

Celtic sqaunder a great opportunity from a one-on-one strip... have some great forwards but Celtic don't have any attacking potency in the backs...

 

[cumberlandsashes81]

Celtic just can't hold the ball when they need to...!

Drop it always when they're in great position to score...

 

[ParraEelsNRL]

nice try catalans.

perry scores

 

[cumberlandsashes81]

TRY! Perry goes in from a GREAT Gossard run - beating about three tacklers...

22 - 6 to Catalans... half-time...

 

[ParraEelsNRL]

22/6 half time to catalans

 

[ParraEelsNRL]

TRY! Perry goes in from a GREAT Gossard run - beating about three tacklers...

at least we are able to watch this match ;-)

Yup! It's a bit scrappy but it's nice and open...

Why is Perry wearing no. 7? Wasn't he named on the bench?
