Fantastic game!! Best match I’ve seen down national in a while, exciting especially in the wind, though teachers tactics in first match weren’t great, should have kicked time after time and put bermuda select on back foot. Thanks for the free beer as well!
This day was definitly a TRFC day! From the moment we where at Brighton Temple Church and reading to an audience the scriptures for the day, to when we finnished as winners with an “ALL IN…” It was only Righteous that we should come out on top.
Having played this game with a fractured ankle shows what aggressiveness and a will to win that I and my team mates have. What TRFC and the Hurddle family mean to our club.
This day was a battle and it was not one to be taken lightly! It was a game of barbaric collisions! But a game where Honour Pride and and the taste of VICTORY was to prevail. And it did..
