Memorable game from 2014/15 – Roth v Plymouth Albion

This memorable game from the 2014/15 season saw Titans host Plymouth Albion in round 3 of the Greene King IPA Championship.

Rotherham made heavy weather of this one against a combative Plymouth outfit, before they eventually ran out narrow 30-25 winners.

Titans missed out on the bonus point as Jordon Davies crossed for a brace and Michael Keating nipping in for one; James McKinney bagged 15 points from the tee in a game which was in doubt until the final whistle.

Post match coaches comments:

Lee Blackett: “It was a really, really bad day at the office, it was a win but a disappointing performance. We didn’t come out of the blocks and we didn’t appear in the right state.

“We made many mistakes with the ball in hand and that cost us the extra point. We need to be a lot more physical against Jersey this Saturday. A massive improvement is needed because if we play there like we did in the first half we’ll be beaten.”
