Two quick defeats and some no shows left the team in low spirits. Bailey got a yellow card for displaying is usual rugbyman like tackling and Jimbo took a devastating blow to his wrists after a fine display in nets. Then I hit the PA and got the ringers in - just in time for a showdown with Davis Langdon. We missed several chances and drew 0-0. Then a new experience for an RG outfit - we were heading for the wooden spoon against the already qualified "What does JC stand for?" Personally this was a huge game for me - my mate was in their goal with Rob Green eagerley watching the clash (forget Ronaldo and John Terry). First blood to us as we won a penalty when their defender had too much momentum and carried himself into the box. "What's momentum" asked McEvaddy. I beat my mate then again a few minutes later to make it 2-1. It ended 3-1 to RG and we were thru and condeming DL to the wooden spoon.
Here's the action. Watch for Hunter's failed break away and Liam's CHOP of a tackle
It actually was a wooden spoon. In the quarters; great displays from Hunter and Halli were not enough and we went down to the eventual finalists 1-0
Bailey, Halli, Allaway (3), McEvaddy, Hunter, Ringer (1), Ringer. Man of the Tournament: Allaway
