Uni of Derby 0 - Hamians 31

Mozza said it was just like being at home ...

Puddin said we were like pigs in shit

make your own conclusions

before we start I have to apologise to our geography challenged deaf american friend who masquerades as a centre

he no longer wants to be known as American Phil OR Chicago ....he demands to be known as his true stage name of Adonis the Greek the true tweaker of silicone nipples ....I promised to try to remember and i am sure you will try too....

The last time we played at Derby Uni was 10 plus yrs and only one squad member played that day ...good job he knew where it was !

typical haminans ..late teavin , people and captain late arrivin , lost people on way , got caught in football traffic etc etc

changin room , cleverly disguised so even later warming up ...one back 15mins after ko

not ideal preperation and committeee need to addresss in future

team news

mike. yorkie , demis roussos , coops/artley , eps, lamin , shing , hobbit, ice, daints , cookie , dave ( mr yellow card ) pud , anvil and mossa ...bench fat prop covered all positions

pitch was standin water from previous 24 hrs

deby uni on a bit of roll of good wins and competitive results

game started ...they kick we catch ,, driving play forward runners ...clear handlin going to be diificult

runnin also difficult in mud

hamians use boot to secure positin

studnts trying to presssure , offside

lots of gob from both sides

lineouts not good from derbi ,lots of loose ball

hamians drivin forward in tight and scrummage ball

camp in 22 , pressing , trying to offload in tckle with wet ball not ideal

offside , derbi release pressure ...hamins back three run back with abandon

conditions slowing every thing down

hamians centre physicality in defence reducung oppositions attacking options .

22 line out , dave catch , good control drive , ice eventually grounds ball amidst mass of mud stained bodies .

derbi ko , repeat , forwards drive o , backs limit oppositions , lamin kicks for possession

students pressure is to be offside ,...good rolling maul ///flyhalf sin binned , prop throws punch two in bin

shing realised after two random blind reverse flicks that passing like that will not win him any friends ...resorts to classic wet weather play and distributes ball remarkably well for one so young and usually completly stupid ...forwards can catch his passessand countless yardage made by shear brute power and continuity

pressure tells and lamin classic delayed pass and angled run from demis russos in the centre sees him under the post 12 nil

celebration bit childless

to be fair derbi were out of it from here but stuck gamely to task

in many ways disppointing as you expect quick inventive play and their play was a bit laboured , and slow drivin off rucks

15 v 13 lamin scoots under posts for 19 nil

second half more of the same

hamins pack in control , debri only in half 5 or so times

conditions stoppin flowing play

big dave harshly carded for entering from the side and not the rear

mozza harshly adjudged of failing to ground ball over line

adonis gets score under posts , if he passes wingers may get chance

last try fell to young shing rounding off good interpassing move with epsy at for ...

31 nil

fat prop enters fray for cameo muddyin of shirt

HAMINS NOW BACK ON TOP OF TABLE AS BAKEWELL GAME VICTIM OF WEATHER

nice fish and chips with cheep beer in student common room afterwards
