Hamians 22 - Boots 28

Two teams at home , a full clubhouse and only the second week of September ....things are lookin good

Hamians entertained local rivals Boots Athletic in their second pre league friendly . Boots having played one game more used that game time to give hamians a leeson in taking your opportunities to record a 28 -22 victory )( 4 tries each but they kicked all their goals )

The hamians lineup showed numerous enforced changes which took time to bed down ....mike at full back (in body and nearly sober ) liam leavey , the phils in the centre , goonie , draps at stand off , shing at 9 , hobbit , ice , dainty jnr ., jon perkins , dave , pud pushed into the front row , gollum and fat prop .

The game kicked off to hamians , and immediately ball was lost in contact , and the set move called was not achieved . This set a pattern of called moves not being executed fully leading to disjointed hamians play .

First scrummage hamians steal ball, boots defence solid and aggressive with committment to steal ball at tackle.

Line out hamians steal ball , boots again agressive at contact ....

Boots advance rapidly , good rucking play ...hamians defend stoutly 5 metres from line ...

Boots turn over hamians line out good defence again .

hamians clear line ...hamians win lineout take ball up , turn over boots exploit overlap for winger to score ...

Hamians come back strimg camp in boots 22 for 10 minutes but fail to complete a number to try scoring opportinities


Boots kicker clears lines , as he did all day ...

Hamins backs try chip over top , good chase but boots full back gathers brushes aside tackles outsprints hamians full back and winger brothers to run 3/4 length of pitch to score

hamians press and good pressure tacj]kles induce mistake and shing picks up ball and scoot in

steady scrummage ball and line out giving platform to attack , second phase ball not clean and wrong options and people running away from support .

Hamians forcing the game try to run from own 22 , mistake and boots exploit to score again

Half time

Hamians start strong , boots scrummage affectd by injured prop and pack tiring

boots prop kills ball 15 m out at ruck , pud trys to shoe him out of the way , shing shouts and points so ref sees it ...

ref shows he has been on a training course and states no shoeing allowed an we better get used to it ....pud gets yellow ands a 10 min rest

hamians insensed pick up work rate and in next 8 minutes score three tries through hobbit blasting over and the phils getting one each .

unopposed scrummages as boots have injured front row , suprising a substitiute scores winning try!, game bit pharsical as flankers just sprinting at stand off

hamians spill ball in mid field , make enough basic errors , and give penalties to allow boots good field position

series of scrummages in hamians 22 , good defence pud puts in try saving hit on line

last play hamians take into contact , loose it , boots spin wide ...substitute prop on wing receives ball sides steps full back to score

28 -22 lose as whistle blows

hamians showed in patches the type of rugby they can play but lapses cost them dear

first league game sat 23rd at home versus long eaton
