Old Wimbledonians RFC 10 - Old Mids RFC 21

When you are bottom of the league against the team in 2nd it is always going to be tough!

Story of the Game:
We went 2 tries down in the 1st half to a strong Mids pack who were ably marshalled by their veteran fly half and turned round 0-14 at half time.

In a much improved 2nd half our 19 year old winger Nick finished a cracking team try which was converted from the touchline by Jason. He followed this up with a 40 meter penalty so were 10-14 down.

We had some great play in the loose that nearly led to a try and dominated field position. Going for the win rather than the losing bonus point in the last 2 minutes, a loose pass was seized upon by them and resulted in another converted try denying us the losing bonus point.

Well done to Mids.

Lots of positives for us though and the renewed enthusiasm and numbers at training has been great to see in 2019. Keep the faith lads!
