Ian McGeorge was injured in the warm up and Jamie Robins injured his knee early on in his come back game.
Ben Jones returned to the back line to replace the unavailable Haydn Petch, following a spell at 7. James Wells filled Bens boots, the rest of the squad was largely unchanged.

the team were still feeling sorry for themselves after a tight defeat the previous week, away at Barny, the attitude should have been to take it out on visitors Blyth, but this wasnt the case.

We knew this was going to be a difficult one, our decision making let us down, allowing Blyth to comfotably beat us 35-11. The Consett points came in the form of one try from John Astbury and two penalties from Nick Cook.

Really disappointed following a call to arms to get a big crowd on the sidelines, sorry all!
