STRANGE(R) THINGS HAVE HAPPENED AT THE TOP!!
Just a quick blog to report on the result of the Bristol-v-Gloucester game at the Memorial Ground yesterday evening. 11,917 attended a windy game, dogged with that fine rain that gets you really wet!
Anyway, with sore throats even by half time, we were biting our nails and anticipating the worst, with seconds to go and a score line at 12-11 to Gloucester.
Bristol gained possession and with a sequence of 16 phases, in the last minutes of injury time, replacement Jason "Chippy"Strange was able to grasp the ball and go for a drop kick, 30m from the posts.
The home supporters went absolutely crazy with delight as the ball dipped over the cross bar to end the game at a 14-12 defeat for the cherry and white's.
Richard Hill was clearly delighted with his team's win, if not necessarily the tidiest technical performance of the season to date and us at CDL are thrilled that the flash of our pink logo on the back of the boys' shorts is continuing to cause havoc with the opposition's ability to keep their eyes on the ball!
