Looks like I have wrongly attributed a try to Norm in my report. Can somebody tell me who scored the other try so I can strip him of the honour please

I dont need charity on the try front!
Report from Bakewell (beat you to it Colin)
DERBY RFC 3rd XV 33 pts. BAKEWELL MANNERIANS 2nd XV 33 pts
6th October 2007
This cliffhanger of a match was full of sporting twists and turns, two of which saw Mannerians reduced to 13 men through injury. The first half belonged to Bakewell, as Jack Duncan at No.10 turned in a display of immaculate kicking, with three penalties and two conversions, having added a try himself. Bakewell’s other first half try came from No 8 James O’Neil, after rugged back row work from Marriott and Ed Armstrong. Things were looking rosy. Derby had scored two tries, but Mannerians were leading by 23pts to 10pts at the break. Bakewell’s pack were matching Derby’s sturdy unit, their backs looked superior, and the early start meant that England v Australia on TV awaited.
But it all changed at half time. This is junior club rugby. The referee, who had done an excellent job for the first half, handed his whistle to a Derby compatriot, and rejoined the home team. Bakewell chairman and stalwart prop Rod Bell retired hurt, and Derby kindly loaned them a sub, but from then on Bakewell were on the rack. Scrummaging became a very nervous affair for both front rows and also the new referee; Bakewell’s scrum was under pressure, and their supply of lineout ball dried up. Derby steadily began to claw their way back with a converted try, and penalty goal, and later two more tries. In reply, the endeavours of Elliott and D. Driscoll in the loose kept Bakewell in contention, and Duncan added another try, converted it himself, and kicked a penalty, taking his personal tally to 28 points. With minutes remaining, Bakewell’s lead had been cut to three points, and we entered time added: just enough for a final penalty in front of the posts to earn Derby their draw.

| You would have thought Bakewell could have told me who scored our other try! Perhaps it was their man Duncan - looks like he did everything else! |
