Chilled fingers all round

This week saw us visit Newark thankful that it was dry, but cooled by the wind. A warm welcome and a strong U7s team greeted us. It was a double header with Market Rasen, but unfortunately we were placed on different pitches, and so four matches against the Newark contingent saw us through the morning. The cold fingers caused havoc with the handling - gloves on to warm the hands, but off to increase the grip.....

Two weeks since the last match saw a rusty start, but over the hour the skills and teamwork improved massively, such that the last game was played with great skill and passion. Special mention must go to the whole team: Ben, a 'tour de force' in both attack and defence, never once taking a step back; Cara 'Miss Consistent' yet again proving what a great rugby player she is, and Dexter summing up the team spirit, picking his team mates up off the floor at the breaks. Admirably backed up by the speed and finishing of Fraser and Sam, with super-sub young Logan adding some direct running. Overall the Elks showed what rugby is about, and we look forward to taking this strong group of players into the festival season and beyond.
