Billingham travelled to Sandal with a much changed side, Will Scott, Josh Wilson, Adam Gardner, Adam Sunley coming in and Jobe Roxby making his first start. This had a telling impact on the lions side travelling to Tynedale.


Always a tough place to get a result and so it proved a fired up Sandal backed by a large crowd took the game to Billingham early with a physical edge the younger and much smaller Billingham side struggled to contain. The first score for sandal proved a kick in the teeth, a knock on at the Sandal 5m allowed the home team to race 95m with a brilliant breakaway.

Billingham came back with a similar fortunate score through Joe Ross. Sandal
Finished the stronger and picked up another score before the half. Peter Evans left the field with Dom Mcalorum both carrying knocks. Josh Wilson and Adam Gardner on after the break to provide energy. Billingham upped the pace and scored some great scores through Luke Wilson, Joe Ross and Jobe Roxby. Unfortunately the young side for the first time this year let themselves down with some lapses in defence and sandal powered back. Scoring off a nice break and at the death to take the 2nd bonus point away.

Always a tough ground to visit and the changes, Christmas break and the impressive sandal team proved too much on the day. The unbeaten run is over but it’s time to learn and move on 12 huge games to go.
