Chineham 7- 17 Nomads
With an 11.30 met at the green post, all arrived apart from ‘Im never late’ Clarke who was late. We travelled up to chineham. Once all had changed a short warm up with the rain and wind coming in I went for a toss. After another **** toss I returned feeling confused as they won the kick and the end??? We were playing down the hill with the wind, thus the name of the game was get an early score then add more points.
The start of the game saw chineham pinned into their own half but no matter what we tried nomads could not cross the line. Nomads forwards then step a maul and going forwards close to there line a rather good looking No.8 by the name of maslin crossed to score, con missed. Nomads then went into a trance and done nothing of note in the first half. Ads tried a drop goal, but then also had his neck and throat removed by chineham, that the ref failed to spot!
Half time, mev was not happy and gave the team a talking to. With the
wind and slope against us it was going to be a battle. Chineham came at
us kicking and close forward driving play and went over plus con. But
the alarm clock then went off and nomads woke up. Good forward play and
the backs in full flight, ed walked over the line cheering as he went.
Con missed. Chineham attacked again, with no luck. Then pound for pound
confirmed that no one gets away with hitting nomads chairman and returned
the favour and removed their kickers head and shoulders. With the excuse
given to the ref as he was leaning back at the time. But the ref said
it looked worst than it was. Nomads held out and then attacked once again
with close forward play and backs running. Ed then broke way and heading
for the nice clear corner his hair got in his eyes and went fall tilt
into chineham players, half a meter away from the line, chineham had no
guards and that rather good looking number 8 picked and went, crossing
for his second.
With both Davis and Stanley not liking the strong wind (which mark tells
me was force 8-9) little mark fancying a pop. Which he slotted. The game
was all but over, 7-17 but another challenge to the famous pound for pound
title. Big Jon lined a chineham back up and made a perfect hit, measuring
5.6 on the rictor scale and the noise being heard from 3 miles away they
both hit the ground, and a miracle occurred with the chineham lad getting
straight back up. Slow first half but a battle in the second another two
points well done boys.
Man of match, big Jon.
Dick of the day, Ed for talking about hair treatments and washing and
cutting his hair to Tracey in the play ground after the game
