Sale v Perpignan as it happened

Our erstwhile leader Anne received a series of text updates from last night's match - here then are the highlights:

"The players are on the pitch. I'm told the crowd are very excited but that's probably because the don't know Seabass isn't playing!
We are 5 nil down after 2 minutes - crossfield kick missed by Royle.

Now 5 all - close quarters try by Roberts.

Try USAP now 12-5 down

17-5 down

Half time - 19-5. Looks like Schoey may have picked up a knee injury.

Looking bleak!

Good news is Schoey seems to be walking ok after the knock on his knee.

No sooner is half time over but USAP go straight through the scrum - 24-5

Try Lamont 24 - 12

Try Doherty 24 - 17

Try Lamont 24 all

Chris Leck - yellow card

Oh dear and now it seems Lamont has hurt his wrist.

Full time 24 - 24

Not a bad result given how far behind we were.

Thanks to Graeme Bowers for the updates.

Post match update:
Feedback on injuries suggests nothing serious. PSA and KJ pleased. MOM Lamont at full back and Luke."

Thanks to Anne and Graeme!
