What a glorious Sunday for a game. Yesterday at Sherwood we had a full 15 aside game with a split generally along NOBs and Silverbacks. Both sides had some great support from some GITS, Grimsby, Lockport and Buffalo. We also welcomed back Pablo to the NOBS fold, but at the same time said fair well to Mark Platt. I also met Dean, a recent import from BC who was looking for a game. A good game overall, with the Silverback side getting the win I think 5 to 2 trys...but who's counting. Both sides had some good ball handling in the backs, with the hands failing on occasion for both. For the NOBs some good runs by Mike Cartwright, Brad and Kyle with some good tackles by Brian. I believe the NOBs phase ball made for some good ball possession, but that did not always translate into a score. The front three (Rob, Mark, Pablo) had their work cut out for them against a very strong opposition pack.
As always these games don't happen without the support of others such as Rolf, Craig and Tim taking care of off the field activities and the ref taking care of the on field antics (including preventing a try!). Also the NOBs were presented a ball and t-shirt from the Lockport club showing their appreciation for our hospitality. Very Much Appreciated.
