Tough loss for the 1’s

1st Team 12 – 35 Coalville

The game was quite even for the most part, but unfortunately Matlock made too many errors. Up until the referee had to be replaced about 5 minutes after halftime, we were only 5-0 down. Coalville had already enjoyed too much possession and territory, but we had defended well up to that point. There was some debate whether we should accept the change of ref given that the new guy was a Coalville club member! Unfortunately we seemed to get on the wrong side of this ref almost immediately, and a yellow card for James Harrod gave them the upperhand in the scrum. It went downhill from there and we leaked three more tries in the last 10 minutes. Alex Powell was excellent from full back, and the rest of the lads put in a good shift. Some poor tackling let us down late on in particular. Onwards and upwards!

The Colts game on Saturday, and the Juniors and Ladies fixtures on Sunday were all cancelled due to the weather.
