Daz Burley did an excellent job of getting the team fired up throughout the game, with all players stepping up to the plate to form a rock solid defensive plaftorm to launch our attack from. The backs did an excellent job of moving the ball in hand, and some great lines were ran by martin and ben h and this was supported by a pack that was 1 man down. Excellent percentage kicking from Rob sutton kept the points rolling on the board.

Gareth m put in an excellent display with some fearless tackling, as did Alex who managed to both dislocate his shoulder and bust up his hand before leaving for a and e at the end of the game.

Raf and tom w were in confrontational mood and despite having a man missing in the scrum managed to hold it gogether.

Swinders, gareth c, matt r, young dean and callum and matt bowman also deserve special mention for their contributions.
