This match
was unfortunately cancelled however, a great game of eight aside was
played in the rain instead between ourselves.
It showed
true spirit from ALL that turned up and was good for morale to have
a game despite the odds.
Osterley v Feltham 1st XV (12 - 20)
(Referee Joan Marsh)
Well done to everybody who made themselves available this Saturday.
This fixture was from the Fixture Exchange and against a side that is
a league above us.
Nevertheless,
we showed plenty of determination against a reasonably strong side.
We had one player less throughout the whole game and still managed to
keep the score to a respectable 12 - 20 defeat. Had more players been
available I'm sure this would have been a much different scoreline.
Opportunities
were there for us to have possibly won this match but due to a number
of knock-ons through poor ball handling skills, their one extra player
and a number of our NEW players having not played together before. We
just didn't quite have that extra edge on them.
Our defence
and tackling was brilliant throughout, great support play and this all
looks promising for the rest of the season. The great tackling prevented
a determined Feltham side scoring more than they did. All-in-all a fine
performance for an Osterley side that is growing stronger each time
we play.
Tries scored
by Dafyd and Tommo - One Conversion from Dafyd.
