What a fabulous finish to the match!
We were awful in the first half, flat and nervous, and lucky to get to half time just one down. Much better in the second half and Tommy Leigh take a bow - in the right place at the right time with two great finishes.
That’s a massive win in the context of the battle to avoid the drop. UTG!

A great 2nd half performance, and generally the officials kept good control of the match apart from penalising Connolly our ex CB who used his hands and arms to stop Quigley at every opportunity
