OBU-Onslow got their JC Bowl competition off to the best possible start on Saturday with an enthralling 12-11 win over Eastbourne at HW Shortt Park.In a tight game neither forward pack exerted dominance for any period of time, OBU-Onslow forwards provided a steady platform to attack and Willie opened up Eastbourne’s defence with a simple 2 up move from within their own half. Unfortunately like a lot of promising moves Eastbourne’s scramble defence did enough to close them down each time. Again it was thanks to Shane’s boot where all OBU-Onslows points came from.
The second half was a torrid affair, Eastbourne pilled on the pressure with constant attacks close to OBU-Onslow’s try line. The line finally broke with about 10mins to spare, they utilised the extra man advantage and broke down the blind side. Fortunately for OBU-Onslow the usually consistent Eastbourne number 10 missed the conversion and OBU-Onslow held out the rest of the match to earn a one point victory.
Moment of the match: Much like the Hurricane’s game the previous week the game had bit of controversy. In the late stages of the first half Eastbourne had a shot at goal which shaved the up right. Eastbourne's touch judge gave it however Simon waved the penalty way.
Man of the match: Lavy put in a huge effort and was rewarded with player of the day and a dislocated shoulder..
Dick of the Day: Ryan has out done himself and has taken dick of the day from Andy. The following is an extract from an email Ryan sent.... Take into account this is after a few beers at the Cambridge then the Bristol...
"The house was locked when i got home on sat night, jack was asleep, banging on window for 20 min no result. was ready to break window to get in, when saw an open windows upstairs. proceed to get on roof ,which i didn't realise was covered in dew, slipped off fell 5 1/2 meters on the grass below. thankfully i am still alive. fall was broken about 3 meters down by the handrail of the stairs which i collected with my hip and thigh then bounced off on to the grass landing on my head. good times. got up and walked myself to a & e where i was for 3 hours."
Ryan thats gona take a lot to beat this season.. I think you are up for an almighty fine!!
Filthy Player of the Day: Ben Pomare, Pom's basically got the filth of the day before he got on the pitch, his slapping of an Eastbourne player and then admitting ''Yes, yes I did just slap you'' also contributed. Linvingston got a "get out of Jail free'' card from Pom's, he defiantly owes him one after his sin-binning offence was ignored...
Casualty's: Andy and Lavy Dislocated shoulders
Willie Barber Foot
Mark Berney's Back injury will have him out for 4 weeks
Ryan's late night Spider Man impression didn't pay off and he will be out for at least 2 weeks
