A great performance from both sides, that went right down to the wire. SOAS will almost certainly be back in the play-offs, and they totally deserve another go, as would Wolfson had it gone the other way. Great match anyway!<br /><br />The only downside with this match was the notice that penalties for buzzing wrongly just as Paxo is finishing are still in force. Thankfully, both sides falling foul of this means the outcome wasn't impacted in any way.<br /><br />And, once again, my condolences to the family of Mr Bostock, who has sadly passed away since recording the series.<br /><br />On Monday, Queen's of Belfast play Birmingham; the week after, St Andrews take on Worcester of Oxford.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06254840979557920582noreply@blogger.com
