You win some, you loose some!

Broadstreet 3^rd XV                              3

Syston 2^nd XV                                     66

Penalty: Chris “Milkman” Price

Broadstreet 3rds were on the end of a heavy defeat as Systons’ superior pace and fitness won the day.  However, Street can hold their heads up high as they dominated an excellent 2^nd team for much of the first half. Some poor finishing close to the opposition line was a disappointing return for some hard fought endeavour, and Street could only manage a penalty. Syston’s 3 converted tries all came from breaks out wide and Street ended the half with a series of niggly injuries.

HT: Broadstreet 3 – 21 Syston

The second half was all downhill; Syston brought on some more pace and ran in 7 more tries as the Street simply ran out of steam and players. Despite battling on it was an early finish, hot shower and into the bar for a beer!  Street entertains Dunlop 2nds this week in a Warwickshire 2 League fixture.

Star Men: Team Performance, when getting stuffed, do it as a team!

Champagne Moment: Not much bubbly this week, but the biggest hits of the day were dished out by the Street!

Broadstreet Keep Up the Pressure

Broadstreet 3^rd XV                         31

Old Leamingtonians 2^nd XV          11

Tries: Simon Skene, Richard Drury, Andrew Hirons, Mike Bednall, Jamie Richardson

Conversions: Chris “Milkman” Price 3

Broadstreet 3rds kept up the pressure on League leaders Bedworth as they notched another win over 2^nd team opposition. An impressive performance saw Street dominate a spirited Old Leams side who simply couldn’t live with Streets experience and execution. The game was a closely fought encounter for the first 20 minutes, but Skene started to release the backs who found holes across the Old Leams back line. The first score came from some concerted pressure from the forwards on the Old Leams line before the ball went along the back line for prolific winger Andy  “YP” Hirons to go over.  Within minutes Street had scored again after a good break from Skene, saw Dave Stevens supporting well and released Bednall for Streets second, Milkman converting. Streets continued to pile on the pressure but were unfortunate to have 2 players sent to the sin bin due to some crazy refereeing, the likes of which should not grace the game at any level.

HT: Broadstreet 12 – 0 Old Leamingtonians

Street started the second half with a couple of changes which had the desired effect and before long debut winger Richard Drury skinned about 4 defenders to round off a great run with a try, Milkman converting. This was followed shortly by a couple of Old Leams penalties. Skene then found another gap between two defenders and glided past the fullback to score under the posts, milkman converting.  Old Leams had a strong 10 minutes towards the end of the half and managed a consolation try. But it was Street who finished strongly with Jamie Richardson going over for Streets fifth try to round off an excellent team performance.  Street entertains South Leicester next week in a friendly fixture.

Star Men: Team Performance.

Champagne Moment: Captain Skene having to tell the referee off, and that it was a game of rugby, hilarious!

Broadstreet Pace and Power Too Much for Bedworth Bulk

Broadstreet 3^rd XV           31

Bedworth  2^nd XV             7

Tries: Chris Dodd 2, John Brown, Ethan Griffiths, Drew Hudman

Conversions: Jamie Dodd 3

Broadstreet stood up well against a powerful Bedworth pack to secure the points with some fast and furious play. Although the game was full of scrappy moments and a bucket full of penalties from both sides it was individual breaks at pace that tore the Bedworth defence apart.  Despite Broadstreet taking an early lead with tries from Ethan Griffiths and Chris Dodd, Jamie Dodd converting one, it was Bedworth who posed the greatest threat with some unrewarded powerful surges on the Broadstreet line. Streets defence was organised enough to hold off the challenge and despite the loss of Bednall for 10minutes, the closest Bedworth came was with a penalty in front of the posts. Street had all but wrapped up the game by half time, when an excellent run from centre Stu Crawford set up the John Brown to crash over the line, J. Dodd converting.

HT: Broadstreet 19 – 0 Bedworth

The second half was a dull affair with both sides struggling to make any concerted passages of play, Chris Dodd did cross for Street and Bedworth managed a consolation penalty try on their one appearance into the Street 22. The match finished with a last minute try from Drew Hudman, J. Dodd converting. Street entertains Old Leamingtonians next week in another Warwickshire League 2 fixture.

Star Men: Jamie Richardson and John Warne – solid games

Champagne Moment (more like a bottle of Lambrini with straw down at Scholars): Mike “The Bully” Bednall getting a yellow card for a retaliation push, priceless!
