Two matches this Sunday down at the St.Neots Ground against a St.Ives team yet to win a match. Were St.Neots going to send them back up the Ouse without a paddle or were we going to let them sail through our defence and anchor up on our line.
Well in actual fact it was a bit off both! The first game saw us come out a little sleepy yet again with the boys not linking up sufficiently to pass the ball across the park. High tackling and panic passing gave possession to our 'visting losers' too often in the first half and to add to this the forwards got punished too often for lack of discipline. However, when we found space, passed accurately and got the ball out to the wings the tries turned up. Through the centre we also played well with Jaydon making good ground. Frankie also found some form with good passing and some solid defence work. Liam as always answered his critics with some fantastic solo runs. The score ended at 6-4 to the home team
The second game saw again the high tackles comming in from St.Neots and gapping holes appearing in our defence when the 'must get' tackles were missed. St Ives capitalised and St. Neots found themselves pionts down with a 5 minutes to go. St Neots squared the score with the forwards working hard on their line and Daniel driving over to secure a well earnt try. A final run to their line by St.Neots ending with us camped out 5 yards from the St.Ives line, but lost control of the maul and St.Ives finished us off with a fine solo run and the whistle blew.
So all in all a mixed bag by St.Neots. In Bryans' Summary it was reiterated about high tackling and discipline. Player of the week went to Frankie and though a dissappionting result Bryan wasn't short of praise for lots of individual hard work and effort. 'What we all want to see is team work with each player thinking about the support they have around them.'
