Burton lose tough bruising encounter

Burton had not played Wolverhampton for 2-3 years, and the last time was a result to forget. Sunday though saw a bright opening for the second week running with Burton scoring first. From the ko Burton regained possession quickly, but an intercepted pass saw Wolverhampton draw level very quickly, and that opened the floodgates. Poor tackling saw Wolverhampton run in several tries before, and full credit to Burton who suffered 3 blood injuries and what appeared to be a serious knee injury, the lads fought back well at the end to end with 26 points. Despite the 67-26 defeat the late fightback is an measure of the improvement of the mental strength in the squad, which is growing.
