League Match-Midlands 5 West North
10 Nov 2007
Bloxwich v Aldridge
A good individual try from "Barney", a conversion from Mark Large and a well taken drop goal from "Forest" were the highlights and as far as it went. All the other highlights belonged to Bloxwich who out-muscled us in the forwards, outplayed us in the backs and deservedly ran out comfortable winners in the end. They took the early initiatives with a couple of tries and a conversion. The drop goal and try got us back in contention but instead of using it as a springboard we went into a slow decline and in the second half, except for the restart, never got out of our half. A very dissapointing performance.
Final score:- Bloxwich 29 pts v Aldridge 10pts
