[Durham Saints Analyst @DSaintsAnalyst]

Leeds take the win 38-31 in the end, with a tumultuous end to the game that saw one of our players ejected for going offside. Thanks to @BAFRAOfficial and @CarnegieAF! Stats to follow!

[Durham Saints Analyst @DSaintsAnalyst]

Leeds answer with a 2 point TD of their own, it's 38-31 to Leeds.

[Durham Saints Analyst @DSaintsAnalyst]

A fumbled KR by Leeds recovered by Durham on the 19 in Leeds territory is capitalised on as Durham tack 2 points onto their TD and take the lead for the first time this match, 31-30.

[Durham Saints Analyst @DSaintsAnalyst]

Adding a field goal to his two XPs, Max Watson makes it 30-23 to Carnegie. 1 score game.

[Durham Saints Analyst @DSaintsAnalyst]

Durham fail to convert on a 4th and goal, only for Leeds to throw an interception and hand back great field position. Durham take advantage and score, but don't take the 2 point. 18-30 to Leeds.

[Durham Saints Analyst @DSaintsAnalyst]

Leeds start the second half with a long drive upfield for the TD with 2 pts added on, score 30-14.

[Durham Saints Analyst @DSaintsAnalyst]

And that's the half!

[Durham Saints Analyst @DSaintsAnalyst]

Trading blows here, as @CarnegieAF make a two play drive and take the extra 2 points to lead 22-14.

[Durham Saints Analyst @DSaintsAnalyst]

14-14, sorry!

[Durham Saints Analyst @DSaintsAnalyst]

An instant reply from Durham sees a yard rush from our QB and a converted XP. Score is 14-13.

[Durham Saints Analyst @DSaintsAnalyst]

Trading drives, Leeds end up in the endzone and convert 2 points. 13-6.

[Durham Saints Analyst @DSaintsAnalyst]

A straight drive upfield ends with a QB lateral on the 1 yard line to our lineman who runs it in for a score. XP is good, score is 7-6.

[Durham Saints Analyst @DSaintsAnalyst]

Leeds score, 2-pt is no good.

[Durham Saints Analyst @DSaintsAnalyst]

After receiving the kick and a drive ending 4th and punt deep into Carnegie territory, one of the @DurhamSaints goes down injured on the drive back upfield around the 10 yard line in Durham territory. He's up on his feet and being walked off.

[Durham Saints Analyst @DSaintsAnalyst]

Game day away at @WplRufc against @CarnegieAF. K/O at 3pm. With the @DurhamSaints looking to bounce back with a big W, we'll hopefully be bringing you updates as we go.

[Durham Saints Analyst @DSaintsAnalyst]

So that's the start to our season. Well done to @UoNAF on handing us our heaviest defeat of the BUCS era (including the 36 point deficit losing to @BirminghamLions 58-22 in the 15/16 semi-final!) We play @CarnegieAF away on Sunday and will have a great game!
