DEMONS NO MATCH FOR CHELTENHAM
A windy day greeted the faithful at Weatherall Rd on Saturday. A raft of injuries was always going to make the trip tough, and when 3 had to be left out of the selected side, it didn’t get any easier.
As if the coach didn’t have enough on his plate, were left without a bench by quarter time. Danny and Perry clashed heads early in the match and were not able to resume. Mark Charles was also and early casualty that could not take any further part.
To the lads credit they did not toss in the towel. We were able to compete in general play with the home side until into the last term when the floodgates opened. Chelt kicked 6 including a couple out of their behinds to pull away to a seventy point margin.
The reserves were similarly undermanned and out classed. You must spare a thought for coach Paddy Hill who thought he had a full compliment of players, only to be robbed at the last minute and finish the game with only 17.
