This week 7.2.10 we were at home to Harpenden. It was quite a change from the indoor luxury we have been used to due to the poor weather.
This week we were able to put forward two teams (Welwyn Reds) Finlay, Thomas, Jude, Henry, Ioan. Ewan, Adam, Del, and Sean. And ( Welwyn Blues) Huw, Alfi, Luca, Joseph, Jamie, Nick, Fionn, Matthew and Jack.
Welwyn reds captained this week by Finlay were off to a good start but not as good as Harpenden who were a bit more switched on to tagging. It was a closely fought game in which Welwyn tried their hardest but in the end were narrowly beaten 8-6. Welwyn fought back in the second game and with some good tagging and great running won 9-6. The final game and Welwyn were feeling the effects of their first outdoor game for some time. Harpenden were the stronger side winning 9-6. A good start to Sean Archer his first game in the reds and awarded player of the week.
Welwyn Blues captained by Huw were also suffering from being outside in the cold. Welwyn fought hard in all three games with the tagging and passing improving in each match. The first match was lost 4-1 the second was lost 3-1 and the final match drawn 3-3. Player of the week for the blues
Overall some great running from Welwyn. The end result although disappointing did not reflect the effort that Welwyn showed. Some better tagging and we will be tough to beat.
