Subject: First match in the lower reaches

Good to see the "old" regulars in the crowd yesterday, supporting a young team who admitted to suffering from "stage fright" before the kick-off. This was evident during the early stages of the match with far too many unforced errors losing the lads necessary possession.

As the game progressed however more assurity came into their game and this confidence will lift them for future matches.

Once again I must stress that we need to give this young team time to progress and I'm sure the benifits will be reaped. Let's all re-learn how to walk before we run!!

It's far better in league rugby to win and not play well (knowing that the performance can be improved upon) than to play well and end up losers.

This division is all about confidence and growth, we will undoubtedly lose matches BUT we will assuredly win matches also and its nice to come away from the park seeing smiling faces for a change.

On a team note it was great to see the lads all sticking together yesterday evening and not fragment. Grass roots rugby is not all bad, these lads will "die" for the green and whites and their right to play in the leagues. Lets give them the support they deserve and Abertillery Blaenau Gwent RFC will once again flourish.

Agree that ball retention was a problem in the opening half which led to their try and also allowed them to dictate as we coughed up ball. Once we went in front we were far more controlled and retained possession better which saw us gain the upper hand. Nerves were probably a factor in that to start with but no need to panic boys, we are all behind you - keep it for the Caldicot games (NT) -- MB, 15:12:37 09/06/04 Mon
