Redfield Rugby

TRIAL - Sat 5/5 Redfield (24) - Stannies (26)
The boys started off with a convincing display by the forwards. It was a grinding match and we showed some real tenacity in getting over the line. Unfortunately the boys thought they had done enough to win and finished 10 minutes too early, allowing the opposition to score 3 late trys and win the game.

Hopefully it will be a good lesson in how we need to play for the whole 60 minutes.

TRIAL - Sat 28/4 Redfield (22) - Cranbrook (5)
What a great hit out for the boys. We played the game with great ball security and the boys were always at the breakdown in numbers. Pierre scored two tries on the back of great work from our forwards. Dom scored from a great drive through the middle by Quinny and Savio scored our final try down the right hand side after a Matt Moore offload.

We saw solid defense from everyone with special mention of Johno and Rezah. Our scrum was strong and the forwards really did go forward. Bookas, in particular, surprised the opposition with his speed in attack. Joe Donnelly picked up two balls from his bootstraps giving our backline the speed in play to really do some damage. The plays are too numerous to mention them all.

The boys really appreciated the impact of our U15 players also.

It was a terrific display of disciplined football by all the Redfield players.

TRIAL - Sat 31/3 Redfield (52) - St Pius X (0)
What a game! Every single player contributed to this comprehensive win. While our opposition were clearly not at our level, the boys showed great intensity with Neggers, Pierre and Dom leading the charge. Unfortunately, Neggers went down early with a twisted knee and had to sit on the sideline, lamenting all the missed opportunities he could see.

Our forwards kept rolling over the ball, delivering us with 80% of the ball. The backline worked well with Mikey directing the play with great communication. Joe spread the ball and between them gave the backs some great opportunity with Rezah and Anthony scoring tries late in the game.

A great hit out and a real confidence booster early in the season. Well done to all the boys.
