Point by Point Scoring Trend


Overall Points Differential




AT LEAST WE STILL GOT A BETTER POINTS RECORD THAN THE SENIORS



Not to put too fine a point on it, we let Belfast win that one.

Four of their seven tries were from poor passing or ball handling on our part enabling them to push through or miraculously escape their way to the tryline. That, and lineouts in general, will have to be addressed at training. Otherwise, not a bad game of rugby.

Let's be honest, Steve didn't deserve his yellow card for whatever the hell it was which in turn made Joseph's red card a technical inevitability which caused him and Webby some considerable consternation during the remainder of the match and afterwards. However, the silver lining was once he left the field we started scoring, so I'll let the Fates decide how important having 14 men on the field is.

Also for the second week in a row, Tom gets replaced by Griff and we start scoring. Patterns can be found anywhere if you look hard enough.

MVP was well deserved for his always full powered input into everything and also his try scoring. Well done Muzz.

Jones was on the fine warpath at Belfast clubrooms and later on at ours, but he was twarted at every turn by judicious use of my hiterto unrealised veto powers. So several people owe me beers and in turn, I probably owe Steve several beers for stymying him.

Time to get our winning streak back next week against the Bollocks for Club Day, so those that have fingers, pull them and those that need to concentrate a bit more, oooh look, something shiny.
