Colder than the Arctic

It was a bleak cold Sunday. No matter how many layers everyone was wearing the cold bite right through to the bone.
I did not like the long walk we had to make to the pitch, I had visions of falling over on the muddy path but managed to avoid doing so, thankfully.

The numbers matched well with us having a team of 9 (Sam, Rory, Hezar, Kuzey, Ryan, Harrison, Niall, Jacob, Nick)

A very good performance from everyone. All round it was great to see everyone getting the ball. Brentwood were good defensively and for a lot of the game limited the space we had to run in. To create space the players were passing to each other well, and considering the cold there were less dropped balls than I would have expected.

Considering it is less than a year since they started tackling the players put in some tough physical tackles. They were some great tackles and it is great to see the desire the players have to hold on to the player with the ball. Special mention to Sam who is like a tackling Tasmanian devil, but overall everyone put in some great tackles.

The last few games we have been playing the stricter rules in regards to what happens once you have been tackled. The rules will help when we introduce rucks and mauls next season. But for now once the player is tackled, then the next closest player should either take the ball off the player or pick it up off the ground and pass it. This helps spread the players and the ball, so rather than all crowding round the tackled player they are now a bit more spaced out.

No idea of the scores but good to see us score and Brentwood score.

Training next week and we think we might be on kitchen duty which now does not involve cooking the food but helping serving it. We will confirm via whats app.
