You are quite right Mr. Glover, new leader being our 11.1 100m man!! Simmo is top on try-rate with 6 from 6, but I guess that is because he is picking his matches  Next in line in Scott on 3, with a few also-rans on 2. |

Current record is won 6, lost 4 (all defeats being by 7 points or less, i.e. would earn a bonus point in the national leagues!!)
Actually U17 Jordan Hollis is top on try rate with 2 from 1 (probably only about half a game). |

As my e-mail sems to be bouncing from Brian's account, here it is for those of you who cannot wait:
Sutton Coldfield 31 Derby 32
After last week’s debacle when no referee turned up at Melton Mowbray, Derby were keen to get back into action and arrived at Sutton Coldfield with 16 players (still not many, but enough). Sutton seemed keen to disrupt us before kick off too, with a dispute with the referee over kick off time, playing on the bare training pitch with the main pitch dry and in good condition, and not bothering to get post protectors out. After we had done that for them, battle commenced and Derby’s forwards soon showed good power in the maul. Playing up the hill and into the wind, close driving was called for and Derby were very effective with the usual gang of Simmo, Glover and George joined this week by Callum Martin, who drove over the line for a try after about 10 minutes. Some sloppy defence allowed Sutton Coldfield to score under the posts and take the lead 7 – 5, but Derby forced their way upfield and from a maul Simmo took the ball at pace and brushed aside a feeble tackle to score in the corner.
Derby seemed to forget where their strength was and started to throw hopeful long passes which inevitably did not find their target. Also they kicked too often and badly and Sutton Coldfield countered effectively and, against the run of play, scored 2 tries from a charged down kick and from some neat handling in the backs. After dominating most of the half, Derby went in to half-time unbelievably 10 – 17 down, but with the elements behind them were confident they could turn it round.
A good start to the half resulted in 3 tries in 10 minutes. First a strong run from Kyle Perks took him past several defenders and up popped Simmo as he was tackled to take the pass and score. Then a fine run from the hard-working Sam Hobbs took him over the line. Knowing the strength of our kicking he took it under the posts and, with Dan Brittan hobbling, Clark Hobson nonchalantly converted, clearing the bar by at least a millimetre! The third was by scored by birthday boy Ewan Jones with a typical strong run following some good work by backs and forwards to make the score 27 - 17.
Yours truly asked that we didn’t take the foot off the gas and we should be looking at notching up 50, but unfortunately a bit of over-confidence did creep in. We weren’t helped by injuries to centre Kyle Perks, down to 15, then to the other centre, Dan Brittan, down to 14 again. Sutton Coldfield seemed to gain in confidence and scored a try under the posts to make it 24 – 27. Derby’s handling was still not good and a wayward pass was followed by a non-committal attempt to recover the loose ball and Sutton Coldfield kicked ahead, picked up and scored another converted try. Unbelievably we were 31 – 27 down with 10 minutes to go! Instructed to keep the ball, the forwards made ground but Sutton Coldfield were able to defend as we became slightly predictable. Alex Tizard made some good breaks, George Murfin should have gone for the corner but didn’t trust his pace, Sam Hobbs made more good yardage and eventually our hero Adam Glover took a crash ball and made it over the line under the posts with about 5 Sutton Coldfield players hanging on to him. Clark, he’ll admit he was not having his best game ever, took too long a run up and it was charged down, but we were 32 – 31 ahead and hung on for the final whistle.
Maybe the celebrations of many of the players for the 2 birthday boys the previous night had something to do with the lacklustre display at times, plus a number of missing players, but with the NLD League matches looming in December and the new year, we need to step up the performance several notches from this one.
Remember there is extra forwards training this Tuesday; please make sure all are there at the right time. However, to be honest, it should be extra backs training that is taking place this week.
