On a cloudy, Autumn day, Glebe House played St Hugh’s at home.  I won the toss and chose to kick off.  At around 30 seconds into the game they scored their first try of many.  I don’t really want to go into detail of the tries they scored in the first half, but I do want to mention that Jack G, Andrew and Felix were putting in 100% effort.

In the second half we borrowed 3 of their players and they encouraged us on and made us tackle with more confidence. After about 5 minutes into the second half one of the St Hugh’s players scored for us but John P unfortunately missed the conversion.  This encouraged us on, but St Hugh’s scored a quick try and got the conversion.  They then scored again.

We had a very good kick from John P and we scored a try, but then missed the conversion .  With seconds to go John Futter made a fantastic run, and we had a ruck a centimetre from the try line.  I then picked up the ball and dived over the ruck to score.  Then John P got the conversion.

The whole team played really well, especially Felix who was talking like a demon!  And Sam because it was his first rugby match.

The end score was 80-17 to them, but we actually won the second half 17-12.

I think we need to work more on our defence.
