The last words spoken before kick off was “Do the basics right, and the points will come, and didn’t they just?
Two beautiful tries in the first ten minutes set the tone for the game. Professional rugby was being played. Finn and a brace of Doms leading from the front, but it was the backs that proved the most pleasant viewing. Sid, Charlie R and Rhys had their best games of the season so far.

A little bit of handbags every now and then isn’t a bad thing. It just solidifies a team, and that was shown in the second half. A wave of tries brought an early end to the game.
When Sir Issac Newton wrote about action and reaction he never had rugby in his mind, but Finn and his band of warriors did.
Final score Leek 50 Newcastle 0. Well done blue boys!
