1st XV v Eltham


1st XV v Eltham (H) 7th September 2013
Result:  Lost 10-17  


LACK OF EXECUTION LETS FELSTED DOWN


Eltahm arrived after a tour to New Zealand and defended stoutly for large periods of the game, as a rusty Felsted struggled to convert the pressure that took them within metres of the line on many occasions. The rub of the green went against the XV, but Eltham deserved their victory after blunting the many attacks and capitalising on a rare venture into the Felsted half in the 2nd half to clinch the win. It was certainly one that got away, but fitness was an issue and that can be addressed. It was a sad day as Captain Keane broke his jaw in the lead up to Eltham’s winning try. Felsted also lost Hogan and Thomson with potentially lengthy injuries
