County Cup finals
Anyone who may be interested the Colts and 1st team finals take place tomorrow, Tuesday April 7th at the Tigers ground.
Colts game is between South Leicester and Hinckley and due to kick off at 6, with the senior game due to kick off at 7.30 , between South Leicester and Syston.
There is usually a small admission fee but can't tell you what that may be.

Re: country cup finals
Admission is a fiver. 'Attendance' expected to be in the order of 15,300 (including season ticket holders).
Edit: as a premium double header, season tickets may not be valid for this fixture.

Re: County Cup finals
Double victory for South 10-9 in the Colts against Hinckley, and 34-27 against Syston and a hugely biased ref who shouldn't be allowed to ref any higher than vets.

Re: County Cup finals
Syston came back superbly in the mens game.
I saw the second half of the Colts match and Hinckley were denied a clear try by the officials, it was shocking officiating!

Re: County Cup finals
Syston did come back well, helped by a couple of very dodgy try decisions. I was too far away to see the Hinckley try decision but they did seem confident. The actions of their full back though were just stupid and deserving of a yellow card.

Re: County Cup finals
I was right in line and it was clearly a Hinckley try, so obvious.
Agree regarding the actions, very silly, but brought about by very poor officiating.

Re: County Cup finals

Re: County Cup finals
I couldn't see clearly the first claims for the Hinckley try but after the play on the ball was definitely grounded over the line. Despite this though, Hinckley fell down in a number of areas and really didn't deserve the win on the day.MJ Chairman wrote:Syston did come back well, helped by a couple of very dodgy try decisions.

Syston battled hard as underdogs and did well to take the lead after half time. I think it was closer than many expected at that point.

Re: County Cup finals
From what I saw of the Colts game Hinckley dominated possession and territory and should've put South away but still the try not being given was the most shockingly poor piece of officiating I have seen in a while. I thought Hinckley were very hard done to.I couldn't see clearly the first claims for the Hinckley try but after the play on the ball was definitely grounded over the line.

South Colts try came from a kick with the sun shining over the top of the clubhouse end blinding the defender in 22.
The mens game was very entertaining.

With a name like Massarella you would think hinckley would be home and dry. I've just realised the senior official for the senior game was Mr Garner.The Boy Dave wrote:From what I saw of the Colts game Hinckley dominated possession and territory and should've put South away but still the try not being given was the most shockingly poor piece of officiating I have seen in a while.

Re: County Cup finals
Both also share the inability to ref the scrum as well as their name

Re: County Cup finals
Never really took that much notice before.
Since when did definitely grounding over the line not become deserving of winning a game of rugby that was lost 10-9?I couldn't see clearly the first claims for the Hinckley try but after the play on the ball was definitely grounded over the line. Despite this though, Hinckley fell down in a number of areas and really didn't deserve the win on the day.

Obstruction? Refereeing errors the other way?
