Match v Hammerlund

Team good result in yesterday’s match, 41-12 vs Hammarlund.

Our strength and fitness won the game and although the first half was not great, we wore them done, with carry after carry so by the second half they had no energy left. 

This was very impressive to see and all about mind-set. We only had one reserve, they had four but in the last quarter we agreed to 13 aside, as 5 opposition players were out. All our players still wanted to play.

This is a great foundation for our team - you all fought for each other,  never giving up, despite being behind for the whole of the first half. Even the second try against us showed grit in defence. Their 10 got past our first line of defence but three of you scrambled back to cover our line, only to be wrong footed by exceptional foot work. 

We do need to improve our game management, as the first half we put them under considerable pressure and left a number tries un-scored. 

Bearing in mind this was our first proper game of the season, it was a solid start.

Well done to Thor for getting man of the match last week and to Hanok for getting man of the match this week. Both weeks it has been a tough decision as there have been so many outstanding performances.
