Good luck to the lads today, excited to see our new squad in action. Obviously big underdogs today but I still think we will give them a game. UTT!

town blue Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Wasn't at the game but listened on radio for the last quarter of first half and all the second. From commentary Haven appeared to dominate the second half with little penetration from Town, could be a long season ahead for both teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Town Army Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 First half we went well. 2nd half we struggled. Havens 2 tries after half time won them the game but we could have played all night and Town wouldn't have scored, penalties and unforced errors meant we put ourselves under to much pressure and Havens better players turned the screw. Still plenty of positives though but also plenty to work on UTT 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

town4me Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 (edited) Score was no great suprise really. Fairly level first half. Stuff to work on. Looking forward to the league derby's next season when town have developed a bit more. UTT Edited January 15 by town4me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onreport Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 (edited) Some positives in the game, nice solo try from Walker with lovelly dummy, really liked the look of Hurst in centre and thought Key and McNicholas held their own when introduced, towns best for me was Burns at fullback, hardly put a foot wrong all game ( except for knock on when upended) Looked like we struggled with pace of the game in second half and Jamie caught us out wide a few times, I have to agree with earlier post that we looked unlikely to score in second half, not much idea in attack unfortunately, but hey only first hit out so things can only get better Edited January 15 by Onreport 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Town0682 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Thought Anderson-Moore on the left wing had a good first half too & Sabutey looks very quick. Enjoyed it all in all. UTT 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Voodooguru Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 (edited) Good to see a game of rugby again, especially after last season. Plenty of positives for us and some promising new faces. There needs to be quite a lot of work done in training with ball in hand as we didn't really create anything from the training pitch, but still time yet. Thought our defence was pretty good, although we got rolled on our right edge a few times, and second half we lost the ruck too often and let them get a roll on. Hurst & Jordan Burns were our best new faces although I thought most of the others showed up well. Thought Haven played 2 different halves of rugby and fair play they had too much for us. Cus & Bishop went well for them, & JDs influence grew as the game went on when he moved positions. Pitch was better than I expected but I didn't expect much. Thought ref and one of his his touchies were poor, very inconsistent. Oh and very sneaky of Haven letting hundreds through the gate as cash only which will no doubt disappear from the official head count.... Edited January 15 by The Voodooguru The race is not always to the swift nor the battle to the strong, but thats the way to bet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it started moving fast as they opened the gates and literally hundreds were streaming through with about 4 blokes with handfuls of cash letting folk in. 1 The race is not always to the swift nor the battle to the strong, but thats the way to bet!

Town utd Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Work for both teams,good effort by all the players but the quality wasn't there from both teams in attack, bit of a Forward battle on the soft ground which haven won hands down,biggest disappointed for me was towns poor kicking game and passing from the halfs,walker took his try well but need more creativity from town going forward. Havens half's were the difference on the day.but least we have something to build on 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to see both teams coming together after the hooter to pay their respects to Logan Holgate. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul le taxi Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I went into the end opposite the kells end and there were only a handful of people queuing! Couldnt believe the queue at the kells end.

Unicorn 106 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 7 hours ago, Hate the rec said: What's people's thoughts on the attendance today, I would say about 2135 but probably be given as 1375 I remember the 2013 season when we played them in the league and it kicked off at 12 which badly affected the attendance, it was given as 1700 or somewhere near. A few weeks later we were back again for a challenge cup game and they were twice as many in the ground. I remember everyone laughing when they announced the 1200 attendance which was split with us. All clubs probably do it no doubt but that was beyond a joke. Bradford Bulls in the play off final was the worst I've ever seen, they lopped 4k off.

homeandawayer Posted January 16 Author Share Posted January 16 I think all the pieces are there for us to do ok, big props, hardworking props, multiple young backrowers , some talent in the backs . Just need to see if the "spine" can put it all together to create chances and therefore tries, something that was lacking last year and is often lacking in Town teams. Who was your best three ? I'd go for Bickerdike, Steele and Sabutey (promise of more to come). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
