Norfolk slip to St. Francis

Little to say on this report. Very well played to all in difficult conditions. All in all it came down to subs and the bench.
0-0 at half time after 40 minutes of intense and hard rugby.

Second half saw St. Francis utilising all 7 of their rolling subs to great effect. Sadly we had just the two subs (thank you Matty Wilcock), both of whom were used to recovered a couple of nasty injuries. St Francis ran in 3 tries in the last 20 minutes, two converted.
Clearly St Francis have benefited from a remarkable drive in recruiting new players locally, some of whom are impact players of the highest standard, almost didn't recognise the team from that which travelled to us earlier in the season. They will be a threat to all in the league.

On yesterdays match, our trip back to St Francis next Saturday will be tougher than expected. Lets rise to the challenge...

Take care.
