In the first ten minutes we thought  “Here we go again” as Gresham’s scored two quick tries converting one, leaving them in the lead by 12-0.  Not to be outdone, Mickey-Jack sprinted half the length of the pitch with a mad look on his face scoring a try to pull back the score to 12-5.  Their kick off went to Mickey-Jack who, supported by John Futter, ran through several tackles, made a slick pass to John who scored under the post.  With the score too close for comfort we were all fired up for the second half and we could taste the possibility of victory.  However, we were knocked back by a quick centre who ran the whole length of the pitch and scored, bring the score to 19-10.  The next ten minutes were taken up with both teams battling in the middle of the pitch, not literally but with the rugby ball.  The deadlock was broken by Andrew who burst through their defence scoring a try to bring the score to 19-15.  With five minutes to go I scored a quick try 2cms from the touch-line.  John P then kicked a fantastic conversion to bring our score to an amazing 22-19.

It was nice to be a successful Captain and credit should go to every member of the team.
