Welcome Vectis to the main land

Pretty darn good. I am smiling. You were ALL on good form!

All that training and heartache really came together today, excellent passing, some strong tackling and an attitude to win paid off.

Vectis – came from the Isle of Wight, a good show of 17 players and we had 17.

So we set up 2 teams from each and played a total of 4 games.

RAVENS WE WON yeah!!!! All 4!! (whoops sorry not very sporting but….!!!!yeah!!!)

Team 1 first game – 6:3 second game 7:6

Team 2 first game – 5:0 second game 4: ??? not sure but we won!

Vectis expressed their thanks at our hospitality and have asked if we will come over to them, they liked the warm-up and enjoyed the matches. They will be out for blood but I’m sure we can hold our own!

Any improvement?

We need to be quicker together as the whistle goes, we are still too slow.
Also after the scrum down, we need to move quickly.
Once we have been tackled and player to ground we need to drive them over so we can pick the ball up, we still haven’t quite got that.
We dropped the ball a few times let’s get back to holding it tighter to our chests – think hug the baby – don’t hold the ball at arm’s length.
Finally play to the whistle, the ref is in charge until he’s made a decision it’s not yours.

Ah that was a great morning – really proud of YOU ALL x
