THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU!

Sancte Míchael Archángele, defénde nos in proélio contra nequítiam et insídias diáboli esto præsídium. Imperet illi Deus, súpplices deprecámur: tuque, princeps milítiæ cæléstis, Sátanam aliósque spíritus malígnos, qui ad perditiónem animárum pervagántur in mundo, divína virtúte, In inférnum detrude. Amen

Hot diggety dog she was a crappy uneven boggy mess of a field. But that was no excuse.
Twenty minutes of standing back and letting the enemy score thrice wasn't a good start, but it was what we did so we had to live with it. It's hard to define what was missing in our attitude for the first 20, but whatever it was, we shoock it off and came back strongly with three tries of our own; One to New Boy Tom on his debut (thank you very much) and to Bravo and AJ.

A few on the field injuries

hampered the flow of the game, as did the sticky ball and sticky mud clogged boots, but not to be outdone by the conditions most of the break through moments were executed with skill and flair and some good old fashioned guts. Thornty would be proud.
And then came the second half Oh boy did we step it up. We needed to to combat the constant 7 points we were behind for most of the game with Uli's try getting us within spitting distance a suberb example of team work and tenacity.
Unfortunately, the efforts to score weren't enough to bring us victory on the field, but that is nothing that a cold beer at the clubrooms can't fix. Although there were a few noticable abcences but overall was a good turnout and banter was had all around.
