but not half as good as A Perfect Leeds Day! M&S (package still not received) had obviously been blitzed of their climate control pants by Saints Supporters as the sun shone down on Headingly yesterday - ideal conditions for running and passing.
My stress and worry levels were reduced by two clear points from 10 to 8 as I strolled round the San Antonio paseo with Marli. I still couldn't watch the match live on TV because of this - I feel so helpless shouting instructions 'get back for this kick' to blokes a thousand miles away.
Anyway, Saints won by the flattering scoreline (flattering to Leeds) of 22 - 18 and go into the next round of the cup. Leeds now get 4 free weekends in their league campaign so they won't have to pray for rain every Sunday from now until October.
Gidley Goes Over in the Corner (the mail)
The lads were great in defence and man for man and pound for pound were much more enterprising in attack. Tony Puletua impressed me in the pack - though we were lucky to have Maurie Fa'asavalu on the field as the Rugby League disciplinary panel had given him a 'broken nose sufficient' verdict after headbutting Ryan Bailey's shoulder a fortnight ago.
I'll be watching the match again tonight - thank you Sky+ - and trying to use modern technology to make Gidley's pass to Gardner unforward!
