Brave Novos push leaders all the way

Darlington moved seven points clear at the top of D and N One with an extremely hard fought four-try 34-16 win over a very competitive Novos. Once again Novos showed a real spirit to come back from 15 - 6 down at half time to edge ahead with 15 minutes to go, alas Darlo are not top for no good reason and they ground out 2 tries in that time, one a typical forward effort and a final opportunist try as Novos pressed they intercepted to score and deny the bonus point.

As disappointed as Novos were it provides further evidence that we can pull out of our current position if we display the same form and heart going into the second half of the season.

Man of the Match - Pete Twentyman, its becoming a habit for the talented 19 year old!
