3/11/10 Woodlands Freshman @ STHS Freshman

Nice warm conditions, played on a thursday evening. My first freshman game of the year - a unique challenge. The players had all played only a few games of rugby, so communication was quite difficult. It was hard to predict what actions many of the players are likely to take.

At one occasion I told a player he was offside, his response - "What does that mean, where should I be?" - "Behind the last foot of your teammate 2"

It was fun, sometime it's nice to help coach this new players into rugby - turns out to be quite rewarding.

My ankle was also pretty sore - I think im starting to get shin splints on the bad leg, causing more problems. It needs a rest.

STHS Freshman: 2 Tries, 2 Conversions, 1 Penalty (17)
Woodlands Freshman: 2 Tries, 1 Conversion (12)

I was also an AR for the varsity game following this match.
