report from Ampthill

Don't let anything get in the way of a good game of Rugby

Thanks C.D. well done. So sorry to hear about Jessie's problems, stuff of nightmares.

Semper Sersum.

I see the crowd was 365, pretty poor considering where they are in the league.

Yes didn’t seem much of a crowd, always a good club to visit as fan as nice old club house and quirky ground - a forest walk and then pitch.

Scoring early, result of last week carrying over here maybe - ball retention good and then getting over line. First half went on and struggled to build on this conceding a few penalties. One of those catch and drives tthay cant be stopped and then a copy of the penalty try last week, deliberate knock on and a yellow. A super sheppy penalty got us points to level at one point but 15-8 half time to hosts.

Second half started and down to 13 still managed to get a penalty try ourselves which our own catch and drive to keep ball going and moving in attack. A yellow to boot, consistent in these then. Back level then turning point in game perhaps as A’s scored straight from kick off, these things happen. After this the game started to drift away with a few more scores from Ampthill.

Ended the game not really knowing what to make of what we had seen really. The boys were upset as always in defeat but this was another tough one, one week after Blackheath. This game we were in too until the second half. Two tough matches away in a week taking its toll?! Would have definitely taken 5 points from these games. Few weeks ago we all know where we were so couldn’t be upset myself after despite result, four good wins.

Everyone will be glad to be back at home next week after a month away. Get those beer pumps ready now.
