Quite a change in the team this week as the early fixtures impact our squad with so many committed to school rugby
Still, thanks to all those who stepped in to help - in particular Andy Mari who as the most vocal keeper we've had helped our organisation; to Nick Hughes who gave a strong performance as right back & Luke Goodwin who chased & chased; + a cameo from Euan Begg.
Unfortunately we were not strong enough to defeat the opposition - however, the score flatters them a bit.
Their first goal was from a short corner, a fortunate (for them) deflection off my stick as I ran out, leaving Andy no chance. Their second goal also came from a short corner, the initial strike was an air shot, which then led to a decent hit. The final goal was just a scramble that somehow made it over the line.
It wasn't all one way - we threatened on occasion, some nice passing in the build up, we just couldn't break through.
So a reality check for us, unless we convert our opportunities, the opposition will punish us!
Right onwards & upwards, lets lick our wounds & bounce back with a win this Sat!
