Subject: Its a funny ol` game..........

We were all initially disappointed when we left the field yesterday, but upon quick reflection we had won and thats what we went to do I guess!!! I felt that the disappointment was warranted in some respects given that we had played so well in the first half scoring some good tries only to somewhat deflate ourselves in the second half.As the excellently written match report suggest, Ynysddu were gritty performers with a never-say-die attitude, albeit gifted by our own errors.........

It`s still a joy to play in the team at the mo`, we are playing some good stuff and I feel we have a good balance within the team.Age and experience are balanced with lots of youthful exuberance[which is telling on my effin lungs at times!!!!!!]Looks like results went our way to a certain degree yesterday, granted teams below have games in hand but its the age old adage that we have "the points in the bag".Bettws will be smarting from their reversal yesterday and we may well suffer from the backlash next week.I feel we`ll rise to the challenge though, PROVIDED we adhere to the game plan that has served us well for the last 5 victories and dont get complacent, as we did at times yesterday.

Following on from last weeks notes on the board, I thought the referee was superb yesterday.I`m a great believer that if a game can be played and you dont even recognise or rememeber him being on the pitch, then a job well done has been done.Apart from one rather obvious forward pass from the base of a scrum, I thought he let the game flow superbly well.In my posting last week I commented on the attitude of the officials prior to the game, I think he must have read it!!! he was an uncomplicated guy, sharing jokes with us in the changing rooms and was eager to answer any questions or queries that we had.I made a point of going into his changing room after the game to shake his hand and thanking him for it.I did emphasise thats its always easy to thank the officials when you`ve won the game, but nonetheless thought he was good, very good.

Before I sign off, I want to apologise for dropping the ball 5 metres out but beg forgiveness, in Nick Merediths words, "Sorry But, I was in 22 minds when I slung the pass out..........."-Buck passed sufficiently there I feel!!!

Big performances I felt yesterday by Greg "Doofy" Lane, felt Suede put himself about as did Jonny Brake.My midfield partner Lee Bowden was as solid as ever and is always looking for an elusive run.Andrew Mason is strong as an ox and showed it on times yesterday, if he cant run round em he`ll just brush em off with ease!!! Another good team performance yesterday though,it`s looking good...................
