All buses are expected to be back from matches and visits by 5.30pm.
Both our victories were set up by our front three. Archie, Nat and Harry performed fantastically in the ruck/maul area to secure possession for the team and were well supported by Henry when he entered the action. Archie's consistent and unselfish offloading to put other players in space is great to watch while Nat's hard work was rewarded with a deserved try in each game (the best, a sidestepping, Forrest Gump style length of the pitch effort leaving the Malsis defenders floundering in his wake). This hard won platform gave our half backs space and time to make an impact. Several darting, sneaky runs from James gained important field position and allowed George more time to do what he does best: score tries. George was then able to start to direct play by putting Rory and Adam into space to make further useful yards. Billy and Bobby combined to make a strong centre pairing throughout the day. They let very little through the middle of the pitch, forcing the opposition out wide where we could easily deal with them and they rarely lost possession when going forward. Thanks also to Mr Hobson for his touchline support, greatly appreciated by the team during a long day.
In reflection, a successful day out for the team with a confidence boosting, double win. However, sterner challenges lie just around the corner in the form of St. Olaves and Ampleforth after the exeat weekend. No time to become complacent.
