Gentlemen,

Excellent win this weekend. We went out and played the way we all know we are capable of and secured a well deserved win that is a better indication of the level we all can play. Just goes to show how you can play as a team when you practice together as a team. We scored 4 quality tries on Saturday to Dave Doser, Matt Myers, Phil Weston and Chris Fallow. We could have scored more. A couple of lapses at times close to the line resulted in turnovers that Cape Fear were able to clear. We played Saturday with intensity and Heart for a full 80 minutes. As a team we played an excellent all round game. The pack led from the front securing lineout ball and setting a somewhat stable scrum platform. We played excellent in the rucks and mauls. However we did give away some stupid penalties for hands in the ruck. The backline played excellent. We had some scithing runs up the middle and we just smothered them in defence. This was an extremely satisfying win. And I think it indicates to everybody what this team is capable of and how this season could have been different if injuries hadn't conspired against us. It also shows the need for recruiting in new players and to that end it was extremely beneficial playing the game down in Clemson and connecting with both the Clemson and USC teams. I'll be sending out a bit of a season write-up this week to sort of re-cap the season and give us all a couple of good nuggets to mull over. This week let's plan on going out and running touch on Wednesday night. I also believe that this is the night that 7's practice is going to be run on over the summer. See you Wednesay night for a good run around and a couple of beers in Dougals afterwards.
