Cup Final beckons for Bulls II

With Cantabs visiting for the Cambs Junior Cup semi-final, it promised to be a nerve-jangling afternoon. However, Ives 2nds came out full of intent and dominated both territory and possession, only giving up an interception score, as they ran in four of their own to turn around 26-7 points to the good.
The dominance continued in the second half, with the concession of penalties preventing a bigger scoreline, but 50-7 sees us overcome the visitors to claim a spot in the final versus march Bears.
Paul Humphreys commented, “I knew we had a team to compete and that Cantabs would come to play and challenge us. Make no bones about it, the players were left in no doubt of the expectancy in the pre-match chat!
“The boys responded well. We came out of the blocks well, but at times were a little too eager and got ahead of ourselves. Once we settled and controlled the ball we played nicely, with good shape. Our defence stood strong, scrambling well when needed. Some inaccuracy on another day would have cost us!
“Our set piece went well and provided a platform, so the half time lead up the hill was well deserved.
“The second half saw Cantabs come back and throw everything at us. However, we manged to score regularly, which dented their sprit. A good performance, of pace and power showcased how we can play rugby. We look forward to next week and the challenge that will bring.”
All are welcome to support the Bulls. The match takes place at Cambridge Rugby Club, kick off at noon.
