1st XV v Colchester GS (Daily Mail Cup Round 2)

Result:  Lost 59-19
Tries: Wood, Brown, Williams
Cons: Latham
Review: Firstly credit goes to the boys who were available for this fixture and to the school for not pulling out of a cup game that was always going to be an uphill battle. The comeback at Gresham’s had taken its toll and the backs were now 5 men down and the forwards 4. The boys that came in from the 2nd XV and U16 XV are commended for their efforts, but at 1st XV level mistakes are punished and defensive frailties exposed. Colchester RGS were a well organised side, but you feel a full strength XV would have come out on top. Certainly it would have been a contest. Colchester deserved their win and it was a humbling day for all concerned on the Felsted XV.
