CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!!!

A last minute change to fixtures saw our B-team facing Harpenden B's, sitting in second place in the league above us and still requiring the loan of a full back in the shape of gracious volunteer George Knight to field a full 15.

Harpenden took an early lead before we suffered the loss of full back Dillon L and Tom N to injury, replacements Jack P and Murray C could not stem the scoring and Harpenden stretched their lead with three more tries before captain George C found space to score and Luke F added two points with a good conversion. Enthusiastic and aggressive play from Sam W saw him earn a yellow card just before half time and Harpenden ended the half with another try leaving us 7-33 down.

Two tries early in the second half against the flow of play, saw the opposition stretch their lead further as another injury this time to hooker Dylan S (wrist) saw more changes to the forward pack having to be made. Harpenden were able to find more space to run in another try before Zico was able make his hard work finally pay off with a strong driving try, despite clearly carrying an injury to his leg. Further tries from Harpenden saw the game ending 12-60, although looking at their website they are reporting a 12-50 win (let's go with that scoreline!!!)

Star player has to go to George Knight playing a great game for the opposition as full back before giving his all as winger for the blues toward the end of the game.

Despite the scoreline, another strong performance from the boys showing how far they have come this season.
