Malton (U14) vs Hull Ionians (U14) Sunday 22nd February 2009
Another hard day at the office for the I’s away at Malton, where the difficulties which have plagued them over the last couple of months too readily re-appeared. Rugby at is best is a simple game, do the basics well and it should all fall into place.
As their coaches told them at the conclusion of this disappointing game, if they can do it on a Thursday night in training, why don’t they do it on Sunday.
Time and again though missed tackles, spilled balls, and conceding turnovers handed the advantage to the home side who were quite happy to accept the gifts on offer to run away with the game and pile misery onto the visitors. The final score of 65-5 says it all. And the harsh reality is that it was substantially self-inflicted.
The boys now have to use the return game at Hull next week to get their game heads back on before they travel to Roundeighians the following week for the Plate semi-final. We know what Hull will bring to the game, hard tackling, strong running, and a positive “can-do” attitude so we have to stand up and deal with it, regain confidence, and start playing like we did at Beverley and Goole earlier in the season.
