A tough start v Datchworth RFC to kick off 2017. But honours even!

Match 1 Lost 2 - 3.
Pressure from the Kick off & Danny found Ben to score.
Datch' replied soon after, then Luke set up a ruck, quick ball out to Ben, offload to Tobi, in for a try.
2nd half even contest in all areas but they levelled the score.
With seconds to go & pressure on our try line a clearance kick didn't go far enough & Datch' ran the ball back to snatch victory.

Match 2 Won 6 - 4.
Henry's determination & mazy running one side of the pitch to the other opened the flood gates.
A kick, chase & gather by Jack, pass to Jarrod over the try line. A nice off-load from Luke to Henry in for his second. More pressure from our lads & Jarrod his ‘brace. Datchworth scored just before half time.
Playing up the slope second half & identical tries came from Henry & Jake both side stepping their way to the try line.
We let our foot off the throttle & Datch' came back with 3 tries, but not enough to catch us.
"Complimented by their coach saying we were the best passing team they've played this season", makes us extremely proud!

Match 3 Drew 3 - 3
Coach David's turn to Ref' - first time in an official capacity.

Pressure on their try line & a kick was charged down, Tom VN pounced to score.
A penalty for a high tackle on the far side & Ben squeezed in at the corner.
Another good 'full back’ catch & chip from Jack to chase & gather then pop off to Danny made it 3-0 at half time.
However up the slope again second half made it hard work & Datchworth clawed back level.
Just a well Matty had their big lad in his sights, thought he was through to win them the game but no....he toppled him & match drawn.

Superstars were Jarrod for some strong powerful runs & Jake nice balanced running, side stepping off both feet.
