Nearly sweet revenge.

I forgot to mention on here the rugby match that took place last week between Bilton sullys and Beverley braves, James now plays for sullys and it was Beverley that he played for previously and where he was coming home crying with frustration every week because he was being totally overlooked and basically told he was rubbish by the new coach. Well anyway, Sullys are no world beaters and Beverley seem to think they are a bit above most teams in the league and winning is the be all and end all of it for them.
The game itself looked like being a walkover when at about 15 minutes to kick off we only had 11 players with some leaving it late to arrive whilst Beverley were going through their paces in warm up and looking very sharp. Sullys warm up was a bloody mess, for some reason they couldnt even pass a ball along the line without dropping it and I must admit I feared the worst, Anyway when the game started sullys got a breakaway and one of the lads went full length of the pitch to touchdown and with the kick successful we led 6-0. James was having his usual steady game that he has been putting in lately, nothing flashy but just a good solid game, he tackled well, he ran the ball in well and even blocked a good kick through from one of beverleys representative players and made a good break. I was really proud of him and he never took a backward step all game against a team that obviously gave him a little bit of stick cos they knew him. Beverley came back and led 18-6 at half time and I was really dreading the second half because the biggest tool in their armour is their fitness which isnt a big plus for sullys. Well, with 5 minutes to go the score was Beverley 18 Bilton 16 and we really had them worried, we had a 4 man overlap on one wing but one of our players tried to go up the middle instead of throw the ball out wide for what would have been a certain try. Beverley scored a late try and finally won 22-16 But the performance was brilliant and the lads really tried their best. At the end the coach of beverley came up to me shook my hand and said your lad had a good game, i said yeah thats what can happen when you dont have all the confidence knocked out of you and you play with a bit of belief. he just looked down and walked away.
