Another Week another drubbing
This week it was the turn of Old Bedians to enjoy a try fest at the expense of the thirds. And they, did scoring 87 unanswered points. When they came to us earlier in the season, they brought 9 players so we lent them half our second team and gave them a bit of a drubling. Since then they have been going up whilst we have been in free fall and it showed on saturday. We did play the whole game a man down and we were dominating the scrums with only five against their eight for lots of the game, but we could not do any thing constructive with the ball that we won. So often we would win the ball see it truned over at the first and second breakdown and then their youthful and speedy backs would exploit our fractured defence to score. And we did deserve to score at least one as we battered their line in the last ten minutes. TC had a glimpse of the line but it was fifteen metres away and his whole life would have flashed in front of him before he got there. They had youth on their side as well as superior numbers. Our half back pairing had a combined age of 99 years, while the front row weighed in at a youthful 133. Its not good at the moment. We need to go training, its simple really.
Man of the Match - Tony Austin ran and tackled his heart out all afternoon.
Quote of the day from our scrum half "whats passing got to do with being a scrum half?" He's 55 so I guess its too late to tell him but it does explain one or two things!
Twat of the day - Our ageing rock star Mr Stratford for being unable to distinguish his left from his right.
