As most suspected, it was quite like watching an England friendly with Phil “Sven” Maynard using around 38-45 players over the four periods of 20 minutes but overall I think most would agree that it was useful.

I tried making a team list for the first 20 but only got 5 of the players! Over the course of the “match” every one of the Bees squad was used except five absentees. I couldn’t see Alex Davidson who is struggling with his shoulder and by all accounts may struggle to be fit for a long while. Also Backo was not playing (but on the sidelines), as was Ed. Also not present were Shaun Woof and Woody, although it might just have been that I missed them.

In the first quarter it was mostly triallists and reserves. They managed to go into the break at least 19-0 up. Making his debut for the team, 17 year old Luke Smith on the wing who scored a try.

To be honest a report can’t really be written for this match purely because it wasn’t really a match.

It was a good runout for the Bees and they did alright at most aspects. I was slightly worried with the lineouts but considering 4 hookers were used, that may change.

I think the final score was 36-10 to the Bees.

REMEMBER- MOSELEY AT HOME NEXT SATURDAY
