Field’s wait for win goes on after late, late show...

-

Field’s line-out was wayward at times, and both teams’ kicking left much to be desired while looking for touch or an out-ball.

Otley’s first try of the game came about from Huddersfie­ld possession. Will Milner’s low kick attempt was blocked and an unfortunat­e slip by Jack Mapelsden allowed Otley to venture into an attacking position.

Field didn’t manage to recover their position in time, and while Tom Hodson went to the ball, a gap appeared on the wing and Jack Mackie found his winger Stephen Nolson with space to get to the whitewash from 22 metres out, despite James Davies’ attempts to catch him up.

Smith missed the conversion which still left Field some breathing space to make some ground before the half was out.

Will Milner kicking through was the platform of having points on the board that they needed to start the second half in an improved fashion.

To their credit, they were quick out of the blocks after the interval. Capitalisi­ng on a favourable kick from Otley’s Max Johnson, Huddersfie­ld returned that kick with interest, working it to the right side where James Davies stretched his legs to make up serious ground.

From the resulting rook, Jack Mapelsden found Lewis Bradley, just about gathering the ball, darted through a gap between defenders and cross the line to bring the gap to three points.

While Milner missed the kick, his boot would later draw the game at 11 each all from about 30 metres out
