Gentlemen,

An excellent game this past weekend. It was a perfect example of playing the way we have been practicing. The first half performance by the team is probably the best half of Rugby I have seen us play in a long time. We played great team Rugby which is going to get us far. We scored our first try within 2 minutes of the kickoff with TJ Knapp dotting down right under the posts. We did a great job of maintaining ball possession in the pack and keeping them on the back foot. This good platform led to 2 more tries by Phil Weston and Dan Roberts. We were able to keep attacking in Old Whites half for most of that half and we went to the break 33-3 ahead also thanks to 3 conversions, 1 drop goal and 3 penalties from the boot of Mulli.

The 2nd half we started to get away from our gameplan and allowed a number of scoring opportunities go by going to far and making a bad last pass. We were scoreless in the 2nd half and allowed Old White to cross for the try from 50 meters out. We pressured again for most of the half but couldn't quite turn it into points. So the final score was 33-10.

A great win Gentlemen, but we now need to focus towards this weekends first matrix game against Charlotte B. There are certain areas we need to focus on going into this weekends game and we will be working on them tomorrow night and Thursday. It's important that we get everybody out and ready. This weekend was a good platform but we need to go for a full 80 minutes. Charlotte B this past weekend beat Cape Fear 43-0.

It's important that we hit the ground running this weekend. Get your runs in this week and I'll see everyone tomorrow night @7:00pm

Good Job Gentlemen, now lets secure our first Matrix win this weekend.
