A very generous report from Ben below… from this point of view, the Rovers O30s simply wanted the 3 points more. A disappointing conclusion given the Old Boys bottom-of-the-table predicament. We still have games in hand to make up the deficit, but the games are fast running out and not about to get any easier. If players can’t sufficiently motivate themselves for a 6-pointer derby, then it’s
