Weekend Round-up

Saturday 19/03

Millwall 22 – Maldon 29

No-one who has been following the 1st team really expected much out of this semi-final fixture against a team that have been consistently strong all season.  How wrong we were, with a Millwall try in the opening minutes of the game.  Going into the second half 5-24 looked like the beginning was the best of it - Maldon had shored up plenty of territory with some excellent position kicking and converted that into points.  However, Millwall came explosively out of the blocks after half time,  and when we reached 22-24 the game was definitely within our grasp.  A controversial try disallowed for an alleged knock on probably decided the game for us as Maldon finished off with a try with roughly 5 minutes to go. 

There were a lot of individual performances to commend in this game but as a team, the 1s gave it everything, we might not have made the final but there’s only pride in the way we went out.

Sunday 20/03

Haringey 81 – Millwall Venus 10

A injury strewn game made more difficult by the fact Haringey went uncontested.  This flattered their speed which was their strength rather us being able to use our power in the scrums.
