Broughton Park

Well guys sorry for the very submission of the report.

What can I remind you about this game. We held out for 35 minutes and played our game to its best. Lots of off side calls against the opponent that went in punished and numerous “hand bags at dawn” scenarios where we stood our ground. The referee kindly played an extra 7 minutes in which we fell asleep and gifted two converted tries just before half time.

Second half showed we had the balls to deliver with 3 tries and one conversion (one fell short and one hit the post) from Rowan.
Tries by Haig / Connor and Finlay - but just wasn’t enough to secure a win as Broughton scored the easiest try of the game without anyone challenging the 5 mtr run of the scrawniest player on the pitch. For a moment I thought Orinoco was playing.

If we had played the same time as the first half we most probably would have got another score. But it’s history now. We can’t change the past just look forward to the next fixture.
