Well done to the boys. Always good to get off to a winning start to the season. We’re quite evenly matched against Ormskirk so it was never going to be easy. We started well but slowly let them back into the game before finally sustaining enough pressure to get a couple of scores cushion in the last quarter.
Things to work on:
• Noisier, more aggressive defence.
• More control at the breakdown.
• Valuing possession and keeping the ball for longer.
Loads of positives from today with the fitness improvements most have made carrying us across the line. Some of the tackling was excellent, particularly out wide in the backs and we scored a few excellent team tries. A couple of great kick chases relieved pressure and there were some powerful runs from the forwards. Eddie Miller even managed to score 4 tries despite his left leg being held together by Ralgex!
Man of the match was Josh Hughes, for great tackle technique, defensive organisation and his usual gutsy determination!
