Match 2 - Queens College Taunton

Lucas on the charge, those red boots at their dancing best.



Sat had a good game and a great second half.



Lineout time, we are ready, are you?



Tight stuff, with all reserves ready and willing in the background.


A copybook ruck, clean, fast possession.


The most hospitable of hosts. Could not do enough for us, except that they kept sending us up and down the hill (a ploy methinks). The attitude at preparation was not all it should have been, the focus shown prior to the Kings game seemed to have gone AWOL. Unfortunately Ben Caleo had to withdraw prior to kick off with a re-occurrence of his shoulder injury, but with 25 fit players it was time to play.
A first half that saw preparation attitude continue. Turning at 10 - 10, with Netani scoring a peach of a try off a set move. The 'rev that had to happen, happened', Coach Gilmore laid down his law and a different attitude prevailed in the second half. The well drilled Queens College side maintained and recycled possession at will and at one stage managed 17 phases on the trot. With minimal possession we had to use what we had well and we did. A couple of flashes of magic from Edan saw us score two exciting tries, one by Edan himself and the other by stand in fly half Sat Winston. Joe G and eventual Man of the Match, Mark Crisp, had left the field with injuries but their replacements stepped up and the squad was really happy to keep a clean sheet in the second half to run out deserved 22- 10 winners.
