	Pontefract (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
		Pontefract (its name comes from the Latin for "Broken Bridge") is a town in the county of West Yorkshire, England, near the A1, or Great North Road, the M62 motorway and Castleford.
		Pontefract is one of the few places in Britain where liquorice can be grown, due to the sandy nature of its soil.
		Pontefract has a park with a racecourse on the outskirts of town, and nearer to the town centre is the very pretty Valley Gardens which has an aviary, and a fine avenue of flowering cherry trees that are well worth a visit in the springtime.

		Pontefract, who ended the first half the stronger, continued the second half in the same vain scoring another try to take the lead for the first time at 15 – 18.

	Reports
		In the club house afterwards the Pontefract committee decided that Edu Hanoken was the Tigers man of the match for the way in which he carried the ball forward strongly and enthusiastically for the full eighty minutes.
		Pontefract were fully occupying the Tigers pack in the close quarter encounters and with the wind were gaining some territorial advantage.
		This lead to some loss of momentum and it was Pontefract who had the last word when, five minutes from the end when, a long miss pass gave replacement wing Paul Novak space to run in at the corner for an unconverted try and leave the final score 33-20 in Tigers’ favour.

		In accordance with Policy T2, major warehousing developments would be unacceptable in the Knottingley area, except where the operation would utilise the canal system as the primary means of transport or where it would have direct access to the strategic highway network.
