Bath - do we need help from above

Double dose of Bath

Whilst results have been poor in recent months, at least this season we are not worried about relegation in the same way as we were last.

 

For the bulk of the 2002/3 season we were worried about relegation. Indeed we only confirmed our escape from this right at the end of the season with victory over Bristol.

One crucial game we had to play towards the end of the season was an away match against our St. Patrick's game opponents, Bath. Like us they were struggling, indeed defeat to us would almost certainly have sunk them. In the end we lost the match 18 - 15, a result which was all the more cruel as we all thought we'd won. Bath scored a try in the final seconds of injury time. It was one of the most heartbreaking moments of last season.

To say we were nervous on the day the game is an understatement. On the site someone, I can't recall who, pleaded for heavenly assistance. All of a sudden I found myself with an influx of Pope pictures courtesy of Mrs Goz and Eek. As we're facing Bath again twice in the next few weeks I thought these were worth recalling.
