Casuals (A)

Casuals kindly hosted us at short-notice after a late cancellation by Derby Rugby Club. All but one player got the message - his grandparents taking the 'scenic' route to Beeston Marina.... We'd like to point out it was the internal messaging system that didn't work and no doubt his parents will be in trouble when he gets home!
The sun was shining, although there was still a wind chill factor upsetting the less hardy players and parents. Running rugby all round with some good handling and flare from the faster players. Both squads had more senior and younger development players in action giving it an equal match-up. Thanks to Casuals for the fixture, the players do seem to prefer that format, rather than listening to the coaches voices for an hour during training sessions.
Next-week sees us travel to Matlock prior to returning later in the festival season..... hopefully all will go straight there this week.
