Nottingham 33 Skegness 10
It wasn't a pretty game, the wind and the referee both having too much effect on the game to encourage free-flowing rugby, but it was more of a cliff-hanger than the final result suggests. It took half an hour to put the first points on the board and there were only eleven points between the teams with twenty minutes to go. Two tries in the last ten minutes finally put the game away and made Nottingham look comfortable winners.
In a match which pitted youthful enthusiasm against age experience the experience proved important in the first half but the fitness of youth finally triumphed. A bit like the story of my life really. (Note the picture above showing that Nottingham also had age and experience on their side - though I'm not saying which was which).
Meanwhile the referee matched the six tries with five sendings off (1 Red, 4 Yellow) and treated us all to his individualistic interpretation of the Laws of Rugby.
What more could you want on a Saturday afternoon? Well, my wife wanted to go shopping, but you can't have everything can you? Shopping versus EDF Junior Vase Round 3.Tough choice.
