Bulldogs 0 - 40 Harlequins 2nd's
Saturday 15th Dec was a milestone and one to round the year off with
We played against Quins 2nd and they are second in their merit league and were voted team of the month!!!
Their first team had their fixture cried off on them at 1:30 on Saturday and a few came down to get a run round with the 2nd’s
Against this background we knew we had a tough one on our hands and looking at the photo report that was taken by David Jones, Gary and Bojangles as Iron Man was down with the flue you can see what we were up against!
The shots of the lineout illustrate that they could lift their giants high and obtained good ball.
They were a well drilled and trained side with very good handling
However, it was not all one sided and in fact the final score of around six tries illustrated our great defence against a very good side….the winger was jet propelled and was in danger of over running into the Thames!
But we had a good side out and the effort was tremendous with our forwards holding their own and our outsides trying to get thorough a very effective and large Quins outside lines….the expression like a brick built….house comes to mind when looking at the Quin outsides.
Their scrum half …obviously destined for high places was a key to the game a nd had a very good and well trained back row
All in all a good effort but a side a little above us
It was good to see our old favourite winger Bojangles come on for the last 10 mins and make some cracking tackles….a touch of class!!
Result 40 point to nil
HAVE A GOOD CHRISTAMS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR CHAPS
