Last Greenridge trip
Filed under: Author: HC Rugby
So Friday would be the last time that we would be going to Greenridge, with their season starting soon.
Having the same coach, going to Greenridge has always been a great experience. It would also be a good benchmark that we could use to rate our progress. In the month of January alone, we have gone to Greenridge thrice, this being our third. It would be Hwa Chong vs Greenridge. With only 11 guys available on Friday, Coach gives us 4 Sec2s to bolster our ranks.
Kickoff, and the first half starts. The first half goes badly, with us giving up four tries to Greenridge. The tries were stupid, and were the result of stuff like miscommunication about who should be the blind-side winger, etc. We could blame the lack of a warm-up, the secondary 2s, etc... But in the end its just piss-poor play. The one bright spot was that we scored a proper team try against them where the backs went deep into their territory before the forwards finished it off.
Second half and our senior Shawn joins us! Embarassed, angry and with the help of our senior, we play much better. We shut Greenridge down, preventing them from scoring a try (although they did drop a few balls). And Jun Zhe's Smash worked well throughout the entire game, where one finished with a roaring Ziyuan screaming in for a try.
In the end, its all about how you finish and not how you start. Although we still have to improve in all aspects of our game, the progress that we've had is heartening.
