Windsor Vets Tournament 2009/10

Windsor Vets Tournament 2009/10
Being a Rugby Vet the start of the season is usually about how long will the lungs last, did I pack enough strapping, why are we playing in September and is the bar near the St John’s ambulance? This season was no different!
Our first game against Grove RFC saw us dominate the scrum, turning over a few against the head and letting our backs loose. It was great to have Leek Bradley playing, although carrying a few extra pounds, unfortunately not the monetary variety. We managed to put quick scores on the board to put the game out of reach before half-time.
Immediately we had to turn around and play the post-tournament favourites which took a toll on the boys. The hard grounds had seen a few niggly injuries and hot conditions having a few of us blowing out of our arses. Unfortunately we lost Paul Mills early to a nasty broken finger and that set the tone; we lost to Maidenhead, enough said!
This put us into the plate semi-final against Basingstoke. Having been able to rest and consume a few burgers, from the start the boys ripped into the opposition. Again strong set-piece gave good ball to the backs who, not allowed to kick outside the 22’, kept the ball alive through the forwards to create space out wide for the speedsters (Pete Ruffell ran some 75yrds to score!). A further 2 more tries in the 2nd half put the game beyond the opposition and we cruised into the final.
The final saw us pitched against Battersea Ironsides, a team known for its big pack and, well, big pack! It didn’t take long for the soft hands (fingers, fingers, fingers) and intelligent running lines to confuse their defence and for space to appear. The pick of the tries came from Brian Coppinger who, after quick lineout ball, stepped his way through their centres to score under the posts.
All in all a good tournament, a bit rusty but loads of commitment and effort from all those involved! I believe we are in a good place for the league ahead and are ready to upset the likes of Richmond and Esher this season!
