Wath 1stXV vs Sheffield Medics 1stXV

Wath Upon Dearne 1stXV 26 Sheffield Medicals 1stXV 19
Wath should have score more points in this game than Jeremy Corbin received votes in this week’s Labour elections. For the first ten minutes of the game their sustained attack and forward dominance did not result in any points, against the run of play Sheffield scored from a penalty. However constant pressure lead by Captain Mat Burrows did result in a well taken penalty by Jack Whitlam.
Waths backs continued to play text book rugby without looking as if they would score. One determined run by Ben Cairns which reminded supporters of the deeds of his father Darren some years ago lifted the hopes of things to come. A further penalty by Jack Whitlam edged Wath further ahead. Steve Mason then got in to the act both verbally and skilfully by scoring a try, his signature dish, which was converted. Wath then somehow waited for the halftime whistle to blow, it didn’t, and they allowed the Medics to score a sloppy try. Half time score Wath 13 Sheffield 10

The sloppiness seemed to spill over in to the second half and Sheffield scored another converted try. Time to call up the cavalry in the shape of Richard Hill this resulted in allowing Joe Bartlett Waths scrum half to play like an angry Wasp, using the wind advantage they started to dominate line outs and set scrums. James Thompson Waths hooker improves with every game and winning ball against the head has become his stock in trade With more adventurous play Waths backs began to run with more determination none more so than Dan Lord who sees the try line as a target, with this in mind he scored a fine try as did Joe Bartlett. Wath deserved the win
Wath realised together they are invincible alone they are invisible
