Fixture

I was at a wedding today and unable to attend the game but had placed an un named apprentice ghost writer to cover what I understand was a scintillating contest despite the low score and he reports as follows :-

A packed out local derby saw Birch and Skewen play out an unusual 3-3 draw.
Conditions were against both sides but that didn’t deter all the players giving 100% in a battle of contrition.

Birch were up against it in the first half as Skewen’s youthful side got on top but sound defence kept the score to 3-0.

The second half saw Birch scrum and power play get on top and eventually level the scores up at 3-3 ! Great credit must go to Birch pack after playing 50 plus minutes with 7 men !

A thoroughly deserved draw and a game most supporters won’t forget!! Even the old timers can’t have witnessed many 3-3 draws

Candidates for Man of the Match were :-

Leigh Di’uilio

Josh Key
