Devon
Clotted Screamers Vs Severn Roller Trent
14th December 2013
So, another
Saturday, another game to prepare for, this being the penultimate game of 2013,
our momentous first year as a fully scrimming team. This game was on home
ground too so chances were, no catastrophes would happen today.
Just for a
change, we decided to field a very short team. Not short in stature, short in
numbers. Today we had just 9 - you could say we either love a challenge, or are
slightly challenged in the brains department. I’m going for the latter, but we have become
accustomed to this, and speaking personally, I am getting on a bit and
remembering everybody’s
names is nigh on impossible so the fewer there is to remember, the better for
me. It has to be said though, when we do
have a fuller team when our lovely freshmeat are ready, we will be awesome.
So to the
game, it started off fast, it continued fast and was over too fast. We played
hard and to a certain extent, constantly, if you look at how much track time we
all had. There was no time for daydreaming put it that way. It was pretty much
a game of “if you’re not too crackered then stay on”. Stamina again saved us, and
adrenaline is a marvellous thing too, I think we could have carried on playing
if time hadn’t run out.
SRT are
another favourite team to play, on track and off they are a great bunch. We were
certainly worked very hard with every jam being intense. Everybody put so much
into the game, at times the score was close too, but power jams were our enemy
on the day. I have to mention our Sillycon Abi, who has so far only played
about 3 games but was thrown in the deep end and had to jam when Karla was
close to collapse.
With each
game that passes, the Screamers are getting stronger as a team…..all I can say is, watch this space
in 2014!
