And we're off....

Our first match of the season and we haven't even had the fixtures meeting!

Last night Rugby Mens 1 took on Rugby Mens 2, and here is the match report by Phil Hutchinson, captain for RM1:

"1st match down tonight, RM1 and RM2 battling it out. Phil coming back in with feathers after missing a few weeks training, cost the team a few points! Khartick saved the day though. Sam W (Cap RM2) fielding his first team out to stretch the legs which proved closer than was first thought. Darren and Sam W both wanted a win, however Phil and Sam C couldn't power through to take it 6-0. Final result, 5-1 to RM1. Some tight games had, everyone had fun and appreciated the play."

RM1 had a late change of squad, when the veteran Prem called in sick with a shoulder injury that will see him out for a while. Sam C stepped up at the captain's request and completed the squad with Phil (cpt), Karthick, and Chris.

RM2 couldn't field their first choice team due to impending holiday, but Sam W (cpt) still fielded some experienece with Rob and Darren, also giving one of the new guys, Brad, his first taste of the competitive scene.

From the sidelines, it looked like a hard fought battle for pride, with some healthy banter having filled the Whatsapp groups prior to kickoff.

Well done gents, I'm looking forward to watching the return leg next week!
