Cold and windy. Did I mention the wind. It was windy. And cold. Still, the colts showed Stafford how to finish as they moved to the next round of the National plate.

Took a while to come to terms with the conditions, though neither side really did. Walsall struggled all game to secure the ruck ball and were thwarted several times by strong counter rucking from Stafford. Sympathy wotht he final pass could also have put the game to bed by half time. Two for the coaches and the training ground this week, I reckon.

The scorers are on the stats page so go look but two tries stand out. Aaron cutting a sweet line from deep at pace to brush through the defence from the 22m line and a try from a srcum under their own posts, the length of the pitch, ball kept live and in hand with Richard B finishing under the posts.

Fingers still too frozen to type due to the cold wind which I may have mentioned, so that's it.
