Under par Coalville come away with a draw

As games go this one could be said a tale of two halves the hosts had the better of the first the visitors the second.Coalville started the match missing Will Keeling and Jordan Gadsby through injury.With five minutes on the clock though the visitors took the lead Michael Richmond burst the Bosworth back line with Myles Griffin adding the final touch down out wide.That's about as good as it got for Coalville as Bosworth took control with three penalties and a converted try to lead 16-5 at the interval.Stern words from coach Ben Toft woke the visitors up as Richmond charged down an attempted clearance by Bosworth and in the melee that followed George Blackburn went over and Billy Savory added the extra points followed shortly after with a penalty by Savory.On the hour mark Bosworth stretched the lead to six points with a try.Coalville threw every thing they had at Bosworth in the final ten minutes and the hosts tried every trick in the book to repel the onslaught but were caught using illegal tactics as Savory landed a penalty to reduce the Bosworth lead to three points.The last play was called with Coalville in possession but over eager play by Bosworth caught them offside,the resulting penalty out wide was sent between the uprights by Savory to earn the visitors a draw.Joe Rumming acting captain of Coalville said after the game "we were below our best today and Bosworth stepped up their game but at least we came away with something".Coalville are next in action on Saturday the 5th November at home to Matlock 2.15pm kick off
