(Jamie says: "There goes our perfect season")
Vemue: Sherwood Forest Park
Referee: Gareth R. Holloway**** very good game, handled all the nonsense very well. He actually said he liked refereeing third division NRU games (but he might have been making fun of us).
Sorry Ref, here`s a better picture.

Weather: The weather has been so hot and dry this year that you could have sex in the middle of our field and not leave a wet spot.

See, no wet spot
However, today the weather was wet and rainy and a bit cool. Perfect (at least it is now).
Attendance: The rain kept the fans low.
Team:
1. Jeremy Young. 2. Brandon Pytschyl (first game), 3. Jon Millington, 4. Dan Wolfrath, 5. Bob Mavro, 6. Dean Crozier, 7. Jamie Scully(40 min), 8. Kyle Wilson, 9. Nick Lemieux, 10. Derrick Weber, 11. Colin Comfort, 12. Vic Blaney, 13. Martin Colyn, 14. Alex Millar (40 min), 15. Pat Brown, 16. Dirk Reichow (40 min), 17. James Vinneau (40 min)
We missed three expected players and got Brandon in for his first game with Grimsby (and as hooker). Thanks to Dirk and James for driving quickly from Niagara Falls after coaching the flag players.
Coach`s Report:
Three weeks off and not a lot of training done during that time, but we did come up big in the first minute or two with Dean scoring a try (Burlington complaining that their scrum half and captain was taking a dump and not on the field, I missed it all (the dump and the try)). Webs converted. We seemed to play harder with better flat line defense although we still ball watch. Burlington played well and probably had the edge in territory and possession. A nice feed by Webs, a great run by Vic led to him scoring with about 5 minutes to go in the half. Here is Vic`s run.
Half time: Grimsby Gentlemen 12: Burlington Centaurs 0
Things continued in the same vain in the second half except Burlington scored at about the 65 min mark and converted to make the final minutes exciting. However we did hold on with some determined tackling for our first win this season.
Full time: Grimsby Gentlemen 12: Burlington Centaurs 7
President`s Report:
It is always nice to beat Burlington and it was more of a struggle that it should have been. The score was too close considering most of our players would be playing for the firsts or seconds if they played in Burlington.
The flat line was better and we were more aggressive putting more pressure on them. Our body position going into offensive and defensive rucks was poor and we lost control when we go into contact with the ball too often. Lineouts were spotty and scrums were good at the start but deteriorated in the second half. However they are second in the league and were challenging for first, so it was a good win. Man of the match went to Dean Crozier seen here with the offside centaur, ref. Honourable mention to Webs.
