A late arranged friendly fixture against ONs to allow both their and our development players to experience a full game, and an opportunity for our experienced players to play against each other away from tournament conditions.
The first game saw our newer players take to the field, and although the score line would tell otherwise, the key difference between the two teams was ON's ability to pass the ball wide, whereas the Scouts players we still trying to break the stern ONs defence alone. Tackling from both sides was strong and many of the Scouts players showing how their knowledge of the game is developing well.
The second game was a tough encounter which could have resulted in a favourable score for either team.
A good morning's rugby, played in excellent spirit and respect.
Game 1: Old Scouts 1 - 5 ONs
Game 2: Old Scouts 4 - 3 ONs
