1ST TIME WE HAVE PLAYED ON THE MINI MOD PITCH THIS SEASON.
IT CAN BE A HARD PITCH TO PLAY.
SAME AS THE BULLDOGS PITCH,WITH ITS SLOPE.
DANIEL CALLED IT RIGHT WHEN AS CAPTAIN HE CHOSE TO PLAY UPHILL IN THE 1ST HALF.
AT HALF TIME THE SCORE AT 2 TO 3,I THOUGHT WE WOULD PUSH ON,PLAYING DOWN HILL IN THE SECOND HALF.
AGAIN BATLEYS STRONG NUMBERS HINDERED OUT PROFORMANCE.
WE HAD 12 PLAYERS AGAINT SWILLINGTONS 7.
ONLY 15 MINS EACH WAY,HAVING TO KEEP SUBBING PLAYERS TO GET THEM ALL A GAME IS REALLY DIFFICULT.
SIMON DID A CRACKING JOB,SENDING ON OUR SUBS.I HOPE EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS HOW DIFFICULT IT IS.5 SUBS IS A NIGHTMARE TO SORT OUT.
A BIG THANK YOU TO NICOLA FOR TOUCHLINE MANAGER FOR THE DAY.ME & VICKEY REALLY APPRICIATE IT,THANK YOU.
IT DIDNT HELP US WHEN THE REF PLAYED 10 MINS IN THE SECOND HALF ASWELL.
A BIG THANK YOU TO ANDREW WINNER FOR MARKING OUT THE PITCH FOR US.
THE GAME WAS PLAYED IN GOOD SPIRIT,NOTHING BETWEEN THE TEAMS.
2 BREAK AWAY TRIES
