Leeds Through Fog For A Rugby Thriller

Dec 01, 2022

The weekend’s fog still hung over West Yorkshire as Leeds Beckett took to the field against perhaps their closest rivals in terms of geography: Durham. Though the day was dull, little did we realise we were in for the brightest of thrillers.

Having spent a year of ‘study’ in Durham many years ago, ickledot opted to give both sides a half by remaining behind the same tryline for the whole game. This proved to be a wise decision as he managed to capture the speediest tries.

However, the resulting photos perhaps don’t give a fair impression of the game. Though Durham certainly began the stronger of the two sides, scoring four tries in the first half, the hosts never quite lost touch, being only a converted score behind and pushing for an equaliser, by game’s end.

Although Beckett may have played better in ickledot’s absence, it’s the best he’s seen them play this season. The squad must have growing confidence for the second half of the season. And congratulations to Durham for hanging on!
