reds v lankelly

Well game off , game on , after an hour of waiting for a pitch we then find out the home team only have four players.
After a quick chat with Robert and Graham we said they could pull in some under 11's so we could have a game . Long way to go to stand up for an hour and half then dont play.

Well they pulled in a big prop and a couple of quick boys to help but from the word go we matched them then outplayed them.
Upfront it was nice to call back Tom from illness and what a game he had , his rucking is outstanding at the moment and was well missed last week, and to cap it all a try which was well deserved. Next to him was James who was on fire with some very strong running today well done James. Next up the other prop today was David who today showed us the David we came to no from last year , upfront and aggresive and also took a clean catch at front of line out and drove over to score a self made try . Our fourth forward was Jago who today was first to all breakdown and tackles , but was there to take a pass from the outsides when needed. These four players set the platform for the outside and it showed today .

For the first time i can remember Lewis and Kieran ran the show ,with Lewis getting his forwards on the move the Kieran shouting and getting the outside going , both of them scoring there own trade marks trys today , Lewis pouching for his and Kieran dummy pass and in. They are now looking like a good pair of half backs.
Today the ball was moved wide with pace and Kieran put Samual in for a very productive day . 3 trys for Samual , for once he belived in himself and went for the gaps broke the tackles and scored . Outside him the flying wingers are seeing more ball than every before, with Bailey joining Samual with 3 trys with some very good straight running . His patner in crime on the other wing Adam also got in on the act with some flying runs down the wing scoreing one and stopped twice close to the line . Both are wingers are enjoying there game and its showing both putting in strong tackles and strong runs .
Not to be forgotten today are three boys who came on as subs , first up a lad who has played in more postion than i have had hot dinners and thats Dominic . Dom had some cracking runs on the wing today and showed he has pace and then he went in and helped the forwards out and was not afraid to get stuck , well done Dom . Then on comes Callum , Today we saw the Callum we now from last year , he runs round like an headless chicken at times but my god he covers the ground and got to breakdowns before anyone else, we also no he has more to give . Then there is Mac , who was not 100% put gave is all today but you could see at times he was stuggling , but well stuck at Mac.

One special mention must go to Jude who played for Lankelly today, and showed what a great sport he was . A BIG thank you to Jude.
