Welwyn scorers: Keir (1T)
Game two against Rosslyn Park was clearly the crunch game as our opponents had brushed aside another Kent side, Sidcup, in their opening game. They are also the current Middlesex champions so as Herts County Champions there was some County rivalry at stake too! It turned out to be a cracker with both sides playing exceptionally well and the tackling was simply awesome. Our forwards, Cameron, Gus, Harry A and Morgan put in an enormous shift to allow our backs some clean ball whilst our back line was a maroon wall of defence. However despite having the lion's share of the first half possession it was still all square at the break. In the second half we stepped up a notch again and this time we were rewarded with a try when some smart play by Alfie and Jack Briars released Keir to race past the Rosslyn Park back line and score. With our opponents stunned we pressed for the second try and Saul went mighty close to adding this but was just held up. With the clock ticking towards the finish our opponents pressed us for an equaliser and in the last play of the game they were rewarded with an opportunist try from their speedy winger. A disappointing finish but a great game to watch all the same with the points and bragging rights shared. Final Score Rosslyn Park 5 Welwyn 5
