Both teams were pleased to get a run out, with squads seemingly aged 18 to 80.
A warm day led to agreement that the match would be played in 20 minute bursts, allowing recovery time and position switching. Many got the chance to experience positions never tried before (no, really. Stop that thought. I meant Tommy Newman on the wing).
As your scribe shot off mid-1H, the score and scorers don't balance.
Whatever, the forwards clearly created a platform giving those playing outside the chance to shine.
Adam Smith went in for 4 tries, OB 2 and Phil Kneeshaw 1. Plus conversions means we either scored 39 or 41. The ref made it 40.... to one unconverted try by Kettering.
Well done guys. As skipper Dear comments, "Tougher tests to come".
Great stuff, well done squad:
Pete Hammond, Tommy Newman, Josh Dear, Stuart "Sunbed" James, Jim Lewsam, Will Atkinson, Ollie Bartlett, Phil Kneeshaw, Nick Gunel, Adam Smith, Craig Cheetham, Greg Dale, Michael Wright, James Scott, Russell Warrington
