 League Fixture

 31 Oct 2009

 Aldridge 7 points   v  Market Drayton 50 points

I

Well we scored a good try.  Early in the second half, from perhaps our only bit of pressure during the whole match, Matt Burgess, taking quick ball resulting from a line out, drove through the defence to score mid way out.  Alex Yates added the extra points and that completed our output for the afternoon and we never looked even remotely like scoring at any other time.  Meanwhile, our opponents, who were a good side and gave the appearance of having practiced and trained a bit, had accumulated 8 tries and 5 conversions which makes for sorry viewing on the score sheet (for us, not for them).

Scorers:- Aldridge - Tries :Matt Burgess Conversions: Alex Yates

Market Drayton :- Tries=8   Conversions=5 .

To lose the clubhouse and facilities during the summer was obviously very demoralizing and it also had a marked effect on our pre-season preparations, our weekly training sessions and has forced a nomadic existence upon us. So things aren’t easy at the moment but it is important that we continue to stick together and persevere. The one way to help reverse the trend is for everyone to support the Wednesday training sessions.  There are now temporary lights (hopefully permanent this week) fixed up at Bourne Vale but to ensure full turn outs will require individuals to dig that little bit deeper and make a bit more effort to put in an appearance. It’s only collectively as a team that we can recover the situation and get back into winning ways.
