And so, quite rightly the best two teams in the division by a country mile went to Featherstone and in an entertaining match played in a great spirit – the Buffaloes just failed in their attempt to do a clean sweep and win the treble.
With Dodworth getting out of the blocks at a faster pace than the “Buffs” they sprinted to an early 14-0 lead.
The Bramley side picked up the pace and Keiran Hudson crossed for a try to see the first half finish with a score of Buffaloes 4 Miners 14.
Again, it was the South Yorkshire side who started the half better and a converted try put them into an 20-4 lead.
Tries by Keiran Hudson and Codey Downey brough the “Buffs” back into the game at 12-20, sadly as the Bramley fans were dreaming of a late, late victory Dodworth scored again to take them into a 26-12 lead.
Keiran Hudson completed his hat-trick just before the game ended with a 16-26 defeat for the gallant Black and Ambers. Fair play to the Dodworth Miners side who deserved their victory on the day and the Bramley club congratulate them.
A League Leaders Title and the YML Trophy to show for all the hard work and efforts during the season and the Buffaloes can look back on a highly successful season.
The treble may have been lost but everyone at the club deserves to be congratulated for a great season and some spectacular tries and matches to remember.
Walter Garside
Recently we featured Walter Garside in our latest “legends” article and, together with a couple of programmes which featured Walter, we were able to pass them over with copies of the “legends” article to his son Phil who sent us the following message.
“He read the Bramley legends article over and over again and he could recall all the names in the programmes. Even some of the ads: Bramley steam laundry, in particular, stirred up old memories for some reason.
“The programmes and the Bramley Legends write up certainly brought a smile to his face and he could clearly recall his time at Bramley.
“Many thanks for pulling the information together – It certainly made his day. Kind Regards, Phil.”
