unlilely playoff spot quashed by strong home side

Coalville travelled to Lincoln for their final away match of the season and only a bonus point win would give themany chance of a play off place.The Memorial ground side opened the scoring after yust six minutes when Joe Rumming evaded a few tackles to run in for a try,which Jordan Gadsby converted.There was a lengthy stoppage with the game just 15 mins old,as Coalville's Matt Twigg suffered a broken ankle and was stretchered off the field.The wet conditions were causing handling errors by both sides,when play resumed Lincoln got back into the game with a converted try and 5 mins later Lincoln slotted over a penalty to edge in front.Rumming notched his 2nd try just before the interval forcing his way over in the corner to give the visitors the lead.On the hour mark the hosts again regained the lead with another unconverted try.With 8 mins left Rumming crossed for his hat trick to put Coalville back in front.With time almost up Lincoln were awarded a penalty for an alledged trip,the kick was successfull to give the home side the victory by a one point margin.Coalville play Southwell at home in their last game Sat 5th May kick off 3pm.
