Coming off the back of a tough loss last week and the worlds unhappiest bus driver to Ruxley lane the boys arrived and were keen to make a statement to the league.

After hearing BACKBONE by Stormzy for the 20th time from Alfie's playlist we finally decided it was time to put our boots on and get a quick run through in. Firing off all cylinders and knowing we were playing on the downhill for the first half the boys were dialled in. The ref blew his whistle, Nic Leipold finished off his 4th pint of the day on the sideline and things were now in motion that could not be stopped. Ethan M glided through EGRFC's defence within the first minute to get some early points on the board. This led to a frenzy of tries before half time from Cam B (x2), Harry C, Jake C making it 5 tries to nothing.

Knowing that this was going to be a tight game and Jack Swingler selfishly choosing to get himself injured in the first half Geally deployed the clubs secret WMD in the form of myself. After finally remembering that there is more to rugby than inspecting rucks in the second half I decided to grab the ball and put ourselves in a 2 on 1 situation with Harry Shields. The crowd was going wild, the ladies were queueing up to get a signature with the hardest bloke in the club and then I decided to chuck the ball 4 metres forward. This earnt myself the right to be crowned DOTD. Cam B then found out that his stumps for arms couldn't quite reach over the tryline and narrowly missed on a hatrick. Tom W, Harry Shields, Ollie B, Toby C and Tom W then decided that they wished to be on the scoreboard as well making it ten tries to nothing.

A good day in the office for all!
