So here we are at the business end of the first half (of the season) – one to play and then a break (although I personally just had a 3-week break thanks to parties and snow…). Can’t wait to get back out on the pitch to be honest, so bring it on….
Last time I wrote a preview we were, as I recall, about to take on Worcester, and I said how they are one of the teams I enjoy playing against. I also mentioned Edg in the same sentence as I like playing them too. Well, last time Worcester stuck seven past us, and I went off them a bit. Edg 6s also put more past us than I care to recall. Not so keen on them afterwards either.
However, since then we’ve improved a shed-load, and other teams are beginning to see the true Sils M4 fighting spirit - none more so than at Worcester two weeks ago (so I am reliably informed ;)
So this week, let’s see what we can do to Edgbaston 7s. A win would be good and you know the drill… Dave tells us every week….concentration, effort, teamwork, determination, discipline (or something like that). Edg 7s are five places above us, but here’s the thing… we have scored more goals than they have! So, let’s keep their low scoring record safe for them. And let’s head into the Christmas break (and especially the M4 beer and curry evening) with a win under our belt and a smile on our faces… And as it’s highly likely to be cold for the match, PLEASE can we get there on time, warm up sensibly and properly, and be quick out of the blocks….? You know it makes sense - see you there.
