Clapton return to losing ways

There was one question that reverberated around the dressing room after the Olds boys second defeat of the season. Now that the club has finally sold part of there ground for redevelopment will this mean that they will be able to play next week in a clean set of shirts!
The club had arrived for the third week in succession with an almost unrecognisable team than the previous week. Several last minute phone calls had resulted in the return of Sin Bin and Nitro (bemused by being plonked on the wing) both helping out to make up the numbers. This game also marked Josh's senior debut. A hooker for the under 18s but playing in the back row.

Now this was a strange old game as Claptons pack dominated there opponents in the scrums and in the loose but Bancroft countered that with some excellent handling and pace when in space.
As the score suggests pace and handling outweighed the meat heads as the home side ran in several tries throughout the game. Clapton crossed for two themselves through Ayrsey and Damo, who touched down after a magnificently weighted cross field kick by you know who!!
The Oldies should have had a third try when Clifford "Nitro" Fearne had been put in space with no one between himself and the try line. With Mrs Fearne and the Fearnets screaming there support it was unfortunate that the Clapton winger/second rows only remaining gear left was reverse and in a state of panic put the ball down 5 yards short of the line.

So what lessons can be learned from this weeks match.
1. The club needs backs
2. You are meant to catch the ball first before calling a mark- Clifford 3. The five meter line is not the try line- Clifford 4. Wash your own bloody shirts

The Big Kev sponsored MOM pin badge went to Doctor Weeble who added tackling, passing AND running to his game this week

Another merit table game next week at home to I think Runwell Wyverns.
