Following last weeks heroics against Leamington OL’s had a turn out of 22 for the home fixture against Old Sills. The visitors beaten in the corresponding fixture last year arrived with a very strong squad. OL’s played mixed experienced teams to give all the boys a fair run out. In the first game OL’s were out muscled in the first half and turned round 21-0 down. After a half-time pep talk the boys lead by strong attacking from Stelios Tziirki put in a good performance holding their line and eventually scoring a well deserved try finished by Toby Whelan to go down 21-5.
In the second game OL’s again put in a brave performance against stronger and very well drilled opposition, despite going down by 4 tries to 2 the boys never gave up and deserve credit for their efforts, Jake Byrne again starring with 2 individual efforts and Ben Beards giving a tireless performance in the forwards.
The visitors requested a third game which was probably a bridge too far for OL’s, heads went down and Sills eventually ran away with the game 5 tries to 1.
