On a bright sunny day (or was it raining?), Captain Maddog led the Mighty Herd onto the plains of the Serengeti, for their first outing for 6 weeks, to take on top of the league Stourbridge. It was nice to finally get a game after so many call-offs.
One side or the other kicked off and a hard fought, tense, first half got under way. It soon became apparent why Stourbridge were top of the table, and they soon had the Beests under the cosh. Only great defence, especially from Moltonlava and Tammy van der Morgan, kept them out, but finally pressure told and Stour' crossed the whitewash, to lead 5:0.
The Beests had a chance to get on the board when Stour' transgressed, but &^%$ (The player previously known as Dan Daveson), missed the kick.
However the Beests know applied the pressure, and a nice move ended with the Flying Gandolfo blasting over for a fine try.
Half-time arrived.
Beests 5 : 5 Stourbridge
The Beests were entertained during the interval by the Berlin Philharmonic (conducted by Hans Von Hans). The rendering of "The Four Seasons" was particularly apt given the conditions.
Some clever tactical changes during the interval with Door Mat, Janet van der Morgan, No frills and Mr Guinness being replaced by Kentos Kentos Ghali, Ben van der Crumb, Adam Ant and Eddy The Whelk, soon produced results: Stour' knocking over a penalty to lead 5 : 8.
The Beests were fighting hard and a lovely move on the left ended with Pawpaw diving acrobatically into the corner flag. Not to be deterred more pressure from the Beests lead to Pawpaw doing it right. &^%$ added the conversion of St Paul and the Beests were 12 : 8 up with not long on the clock.
Line out to the Beests on the Stour' 10 meter line. 4 minutes on the clock. In goes the throw. Won by the BEEESTS. Lineout turns to maul turns to ruck. Pick and drive, pick and drive. Stour' can't afford to give away a penalty. Beests can't afford to loose possession. Pick and drive, pick and drive. Beests gain a yard, Stour knock them back a yard. Beests still in possession. Pick and drive. Another yard lost, another gained. Headlights looks at the ref. He nods.Headlights calls for the ball and slots it into touch.
