The first time we played Spratton Hall was in the Rugby 7's tournament. They beat us 21 to nil, which was an obliteration considering that the matches only lasted ten minutes, but it wasn't as bad as some of the other scores that other teams had got.
Anyway, the game started pretty well, to tell you the truth. Our coach said that our handling skills were very good on the left hand side as well as our tackling all around. We conceded two tries, which were both breakaways, but Mr. Will Zeitlyn helped St. Faiths fight back with a daredevil run down the left side. He always seems to score in every match that we play, win or not.
The second half proved to be just as good, conceding only one try which was just barely touched down because it seemed to be dropped, but the referee gave the try anyway. We were still consistent with quite a few boys claiming to have saved a try with a tackle. Our last rugby match of the season proved to be a good one, even though we were defeated. Next week we start our field hockey season.

you might not always win, but that doesn't necessarily mean a loss, either. Glad you enjoyed your foray into the world of rugby! - b
