Rugby was not rained off this weekend, so trip to Ian Galloway Park to see the U-11s do their stuff, which in the first half was not upto scratch. This was noted by the coach
at his half-time team talk ” as individuals your are playing well, but as a team you are crap”-no punches pulled then. And yes they were crap; poor tackling, too many “lone rangers” and trying to run around the other team, rather than straight. A better “second 40” (actually 25 minutes), saw two tries to our one, better team work and commitment.
Lots of shouting from sideline involved the usual “tackle”, “run straight” and “keep up with the ball”.
Joe apparently suffered some “stomping”. Someone stood on his achilles in a ruck.
A good Saturday morning.

Hard luck on the scorline Joe but congratulations on your first war wound – 2 pieces of advice: (1) when you tell your mates about it at school on Monday make the story sound really good – something like “the guy weighed at least 100kg and must have jumped on my leg at least 10 times”, and (2) don’t listen to anything your Mum has to say about injuries – mothers just don’t understand the finer points of the game – putting your body on the line for the greater good of the team is an admirable thing to do – good on ya mate!!!!
