The score line does not look too impressive but as far I am
concerned we had a win.
We actually only had 12 of our 30 man squad available for selection
and of those only 4 had played 16s before. 8 of our under 14s
put their hands up to play up and allow us to actually avoid
a forfeit so a very big thank you to all players for their effort
and endeavour on the day.
Our regular coaches we had to attend a coaching coarse so Rory
Chapple very kindly stepped in and performed an excellent role
as mentor to the players on the day.
When you consider that Railways fielded a premiership winning
side our gallant younger, smaller and less experience players
gave all they could: the score at the end of the day may not
have been as we would have wished but the comments from the
crowd, umpires and Railways coaching staff were full of praise
and a quite respect for our tenacious bulldogs. Well done to
all involved.
Goal scorers on the day with two each were Christopher (zac)
Bell and Calvin Parfitt – an U14 who played up and who
were standing alongside defenders that were twice the size of
Dale Baynes!!!.
Everyone contributed to this game and I saw every player step
up and give their best effort: quite honestly we could have
asked for no more.
Next week we play Northampton at Wonthella – should be
a good game.
Final
score:
Towns 4.4.28 lost to Railways 16.9.93
