It was a long day. Again. 1030 saw my U16s play Brampton. Brampton were much better than we expected and we had to work really hard to grind out a win by two tries. It was a challenge to give some of my less talented players some game time but everybody played so FTW. If I haven't said it before (and I suspect I have) they are a fantastic bunch of young men. They play hard, they play clean and they play as a team.
The game I reffed (Brampton III vs Scottish III) was pretty good for a Marshall III game but unfortunately I had to take the players off after 13 minutes of the second half because of lightning. It did clear to allow the second and first team games to be played. I ran touch, miked up, for the first team game. It was a real seesaw game with 85 points scored. The Scottish finally ran out winners 51-34, Fourteen tries in the game!
It was past 6pm when I got home. 8.15am when I left.
