Vikings blunt below-par Hurricanes
IAN GOLDEN Alexander Stadium, Sunday
MIDLANDS HURRICANES 12
GOOLE VIKINGS 13
GOOLE ground out a one-point win over Midlands in a gritty game of Rugby League, played in front of a record Alexander Stadium league crowd.
A total of 920 were in the ground, so it was unfortunate that they witnessed a match that wasn’t up to the Hurricanes’ usual standards.
If Goole’s aim was just to stop Midlands playing without playing attractive rugby, they did their job well.
The Hurricanes were eventually outmuscled by a Vikings defence that was solid, and although they showed little in attack, they did the job when it mattered.
