write-up..."next stop NLD 7's".
However, a long the
way, on Sunday 27th April the boys picked up the Syston 7's winners Cup.
(The invite only came through last
Thursday).
This was a much better
"training session" than had been planned.
Having
beaten Oadby "B" 49-0;
Melton 37-5, Syston 24-12, the lads
went on to win the semi final against a big Hinkley
team. They were three tries down at
half time but mustered all their strength to pull back in the second half seven
minutes. A converted try sealed the
match 21-19.
The final was against a
very "speedy" Oadby "A" side which had blown away all
their opposition in the prelims.
Melbourne went in at half time
with what appeared to be a comfortable three try lead. However, Oadby
fought back in the second half but Melbourne kept the pressure on
to win 29-21.
This was no easy
pushover Festival. We were playing the
top clubs in Leicestershire. The lads
really fought for this silverware and deserved to win it. Their determination was
awesome.
A very long day, but a
superb result. Well done lads.
Having "conquered"
Leicestershire....next stop "NLD" on 11th
May.

Crawf (kidding on that he is
