Week 6.......

3rd XV captains blog..... week 6

Weeks 3 to 6 have seen us play some great rugby, including the most insane phase of rugby that I have ever witnessed on any pitch ... more on that later!!

We now have 4 wins from 6, 3 of them from the last 3 games all against strong 2nd team opposition ... Kingswood, Southmead and Broad Plain respectively and only narrowly losing to Saracens 3s in week 3.

Our points scored tally is 137 from 22 tries, 12 conversions and 1 penalty ... 9 of the tries have come from our try machine Chris Pritchard, who scored a fantastic hat trick against Kingswood ... A game we won 45-22 at home. Chris has scored in all 5 games he has played this season whether playing at centre or his preferred position on the wing. He has also got a ferocious hand off which the Saracens fullback can vouch for ... he stayed down for a while!

The last 2 games have been hard fought battles but we have left the field victorious each time. All players in squad have played a massive part in the wins including Chris Pritchard, Ashley Husher, Jason Lock and Lee Durbin who each collected the Man of the Match award respectively over the 4 games, well done all.

Our player total to date, after the 6 weeks, is 63 players, this includes 9 regular 1st and 2nd team players who ran out in the 3s when they had no fixture. This means we have fielded 54 3rd team players to make sure the game is played, in fact we are the only team in the club to play every week so far
