Hot Young Guns and other Mixed Metaphors

Ladies 2s beat Daventry 4-1! In a very warm game the girls went behind to a breakaway goal with what felt like Daventry first real opportunity in the Saints 23 after 20 mins. Saints then turned the screw and dominated possession playing the right way by switching the play and changing the pictures. Their persistent game play meant the pressure eventually told on Daventry who despite playing a 10-1 hit ‘n’ hope defensive formation started to ship Read more…

Saints 1s beat Warwick in the sunshine

A plucky 2 – 1 home win from the Mens 1s against Warwick University on Saturday. After going down early, the team regrouped and managed to take control of the game for large parts of the first half.

Man say, “Brrr”. Dog say, “Grrr”.

Ladies 5s lost 5-1 v Rugby & East Warks 4 on Saturday, a scoreline that rather flatters the opposition. Despite the result, Saints defended well, forcing the opposition wide and dominating the centre of the pitch. On the attack there were some great give-and-go passes. The team were not afraid to pass the ball around the back waiting for the channel to open up. After the match, a Devoted Parent said, “Brrr”, and Douglas the Read more…
