After a few hours in Manchester, we headed out to Reebok Stadium in Bolton for the World Club Challenge game. Again, our trusty directions advised 20 minutes for the trip, and 90 minutes later we arrived. It was a wet and cold night - you could pick the Aussie's- all rugged up!
The atmosphere was amazing - quite unlike any league game back at home. Those St Helen's supporters were certainly a rowdy bunch! The Broncos had a great first half until 2 minutes before half time caught them napping and St Helen's went in to score. They went to the break just 2 points in front.
The Bronco's returned from the break (hopefully a little defrosted) and displayed both great attacking and defensive plays... and in true Bronco's style failed to convert this to points on the board. St Helen's capitalised and with 8 minutes remaining scored to take the lead. The crowd erupted and the game was won. We headed back to our cosy hotel room (obviously I was
not in charge of accommodation!) and crashed. Trip advisor was right - good for one night!
