Old Pats Eagles

Brockworth Badgers

Wet and cold conditions don’t necessarily lend themselves to attractive free-flowing rugby, but both teams contributed to a compelling contest against a spirited Brockworth side.

Wet and cold conditions don’t necessarily lend themselves to attractive, free-flowing rugby, but both teams contributed to a compelling contest.
Intensity is key to a successful Eagles performance and the boys brought that in spades.

Powerful rucking from the forwards created a platform for the backs to impress with strong running and great offloading despite the slippery ball and cold fingers!

There was intensity in the tackle, too, as both sides battled for possession and territory until the final whistle.

Loud applause from the supporters of both teams confirmed appreciation of an entertaining contest.

The boys were justly rewarded with hot dogs for their efforts, parents with the challenge of minimising the impact of a mud and turf on car interiors. A fair swap for a morning’s entertainment.
