St Brendans Sports Review 13/11/2008

Welcome to this weeks college sports round up. First up we have the rugby and the lad’s away game to Wycliffe.

This match was always going to be a tough encounter between the two sides and St Brendans knew they had to be on top of their game if they wanted to come away with a win. Wycliffe dominated the first half, scoring for fun and unbeatable at the back. It seemed that it was going to be a long game for St Brendans. The lads got together at half time, down 20 – 3, and realised that they had to put in that little bit extra if they wanted to win this game. The second half was played with great determination by the lads and they were throwing everything they had at the Wycliffe defence, but they remained resilient. St Brendans managed to salvage 7 points in the second half to Wycliffe’s 3 points, but it was not enough. The lads showed great heart and passion to win but it simply wasn’t enough on the day with Wycliffe winning 23-10. St Brendans went down fighting and were unlucky not to get more from the game. Man of The Match goes to Alex Fox who was the pick of the bunch.

Next up we have cover from the St Brendans Hussell’s match against Gloscats in round 1 of the British Colleges League Cup.

St Brendans went into this match full of confidence and expectation of proceeding to the next round. They played with great skill; quick passing and the result never seemed in doubt. It was a strong performance from the lads winning 52 – 37. The waves of attack were too much for Gloscats to handle and they buckled under the pressure. They managed to cause some trouble for the Hussell’s defence but it was not enough to force an upset. A great performance by the lads, proceeding into the next round. Man of The Match goes to Doe Worjeah.

This is the part where I would move onto how the St Brendans football got on but unfortunately, due to the pitch being water logged, the game was abandoned.

Congratulations to everyone who played this week, good luck in your upcoming fixtures.
