On the weekend the All Golds finally defeated the Hemel Stags 34-38 in dramatic fashion, an achievement that has allured them up until now. This superb result comes off the back of an impressive victory against Newcastle Thunder 26-10 on August the 8th, becoming the first Southern team since last years All Golds to beat a Northern side in 57 weeks! I wasn't able to be at Hemel on Sunday so here are the Newcastle photos. The All Golds now sit 9th in the Kingstone Press Championship 1 table with three more matches to play against Swinton Lions, Keighley Cougars & Coventry Bears.
