Words by Mick O'Shea

Cheers to EVERYONE who came and played and supported Vets Rugby tonight at St Albans RFC vs OAs.

Both sides enjoyed a highly contested game as a week of fluctuating availabilities ramped up the nerves.

OAs pressed for the first quarter and were rewarded with a converted try. Undaunted, St Albans forced OAs back into the far corner and Ollie Askew-Fountain barrelled his way over. Saints had a chance to extend their lead but crucially the ball got turned over and OAs winger ran in their second try. Another OAs score came before a lovely piece of backs play saw Joe Grove get our second try. Great stuff. A lack of replacements started to get the better of the Saints Vets; with both Captain Dan Hillier and Ollie Fountain off, the OAs fresher numbers let their backs score three more before on field Captain, Brenton Lemiere finished off a rampant Saints attack that battered at the OAs line and claimed the final score of the game.

Cheers Bryan Turner for reffing and coaching both teams in the Age Appropriate Way. Hero.
Well done OAs 38-17 winners.
Great Blokes to a man.
