COLTS vs COASTAL

Match Report: Brendan Hammersley - Colts Manager

For the first game of the competition round the boys started off well with a very even 1st half. 

The team created a few nice opportunities but could not finish off the final pass which would have made a big difference to the half time game score, 7-5 to Coastal. 

Another even half but unfortunately we had a bad run of injuries which saw us with the bare 15 and Coastal dominating the last 10 minutes scoring 2 tries to get the win 19-5.  

MVP’s this week Bamber, Josh C, Gareth.

Due to their injuries Gareth and Lochie are out for the season. 

Home game this week with a chance to regroup in familiar surroundings.
