County Tournament B Team

Our 3rd Match was against Hertford B's and the key encounter of the pool. This also turned out to be a bruising affair with players laying their bodies on the line to stop their opponents. Unfortunately it was also being control by a very in-experienced referee and several high tackles and infringements were "missed" by the not so eagle eyed official. The only plus point was that it was the same for both sides!

Hertford's superior rucking saw them on top in the early stages but our solid tackling kept them out. We stole the lead when a great length of the pitch run from Harry M finished with an off load for Calum to score, 5-0. Hertford doubled their efforts and soon evened the scores so we were all square at the break. The second half saw us get on top and despite a few stray studs and an aggressive Hertford defence, Daisy finally crashed through to score. Strong defence kept us ahead until the last play when a solid scrum gave Calum the platform to secure the points by running the ball into touch to signal the final whistle.
