MATCH REPORT : Saints almost produced a stunning comeback but eventually went down 22-12 to Catalan Dragons in a classic at Langtree Park. With seconds left and just four points behind they nearly pulled off the incredible and snook in at the corner. But the final pass didn’t stick and the Dragons held on. In truth, the visitors were the better side and did the bulk of their damage in the first half. Saints showed flashes but were down 12-0 at half time. Inexperience showed on a number of occasions and the Dragons took full advantage scoring two well-crafted tries. In the second, Saints scored a flyer through Sia Soliola before Thomas Bosc hammered home two penalties. Alex Walmsley then set up a barnstorming finish with a rampaging try four minutes from time. But with the ball flying from side to side the final pass just went to ground and Catalan wrapped up the match. It was heartbreaking for a youthful Saints’ side who were down on numbers but displayed enough heart. The home side were missing James Roby, Tony Puletua, Mark Flanagan, Jonny Lomax, Josh Perry, Willie Manu, Ade Gardner and Anthony Walker so could only bring Lance Hohaia in at six for Paul Wellens who moved to his new position of 13. With Flanagan injured, James Tilley was named on the bench for only his second appearance in the Red V. Catalan welcomed back a number of first team stars including Thomas Bosc. |
