A reflection of the weeks gone by and a breif look forward.
Last Saturday, the mighty ways warriors finally got their long awaited taste of league rugby. This was something the boys were chomping at the bit for as this was the first time in over 18 months they had seen the dizzing heights of league rugby. The scene set with standard Coventry weather (rain with a chance of sun) the lads took to the field.
After the first scrum of the game the front five knew they were going to be in for a game. A dominant and experience opposition front five were to set the tone for the next 80 minutes, if that meant going tap dancing over our lads in rucks, or some questionable scrum technique, we were no doubt going to be in for a game.
It took Keresley to score early on for the boys to fully realise that they were back in league rugby. Once this had happened they looked a formidable force once the ball had made it to the wide channels, with some excellent running with new comer dangerous dave showing why he has earned his place in the team (why dangerous dave you ask, question him on his superbad night on nye).
A few hammer blows were dealt by Keresley as a result of their scrum. However, ways were never more than a score behind, and looked remarkably dangerous with ball in hand.
This years star of biggest loser UK, Liam Williams, put one of the best chop tackles in to stop a certain try after tactically walking 50 meters to achieve optimal postion. This ultimately ended his game, but it was some hit.
Ways went into half time slightly deflated, but this was unjust, as they had showed true grit and determination throughout. The second half was much of the same with exchanging tries but Keresley just staying in front.
A herculean effort put in by Josh as he volunteered to go into the front row after injuries to both hookers and therefore preventing a walk over game. A tip of the hat to you good sir.
There were standout moments throughout this game.
Standout moment one: Joe Callaghan losing his rag for the first time outside of Moseley high street.
Standout moment two: James Ward killing people from restarts.
Standout moment three: the team not taking a backward step through, and showing what it means to be a five ways player.
Nurisng reflection, driscolls model of reflection (2007)
What: we lost
So what: we will win this week
Now what: take no prisoners and turn the Masshouse into Fortress Five Ways.
Go on the boys
