Hello SM, any scores from the New A teams that could brighten up our supporters. As to the firsts, they took two steps forwards last week against Joeys, this week two steps backwards. New inconsistent this year.Many thanks if you can.
1st XV result disappointing after last week's titanic match against Joeys. They're capable of some really good rugby; for example when the ball goes through the hands in the backline, they look like premiership contenders. However, this is unfortunately a rare occurrence as their play is punctuated by errors in the forwards and in the backs. Today they added some aimless kicking to the equation. Riverview did the simple things well and at speed - a really great team effort from them and the score was an accurate reflection of the game. I was really impressed by their short passing game and ball skills. Goal kicking remains a concern for Newington - clearly the poor lad's confidence is shot after last week's game whereas the Riverview kicker never looked like missing
2nds was very even, with the game pretty much going try for try for most of the game. Riverview again deserved winners.
15A a loss, but better than last week.
16A a very close loss, with a number of the boys playing 1sts/2nds
14s again very impressive and the depth is much better than other age groups.
