New Springs 14-19 Pilks Recs A

Game of two halves really, Pilks got off to a flyer and got three converted tries before half time, they were dominant in the first half and played the conditions well, kicking early and keeping us on the back foot. Pilks added a drop goal early in the second half for 19-0, we finally got going with about half an hour to go and had them on the rack late on but it would have been harsh on Pilks if we had got something from the game I think.

We just couldn't get going in the first half and we were on the back foot for the majority of the game, poor performance from us and we cant afford to play like that again this season. Well played to Pilks though, good side who play the game the right way, that's another cracking game we've had against them.

I think thats a pretty fair assessment. Us at Pilks really look forward to the fixtures with new springs as its always a good test. I think our pack dominated today and our kicking game was spot on. I think thats what won us the game in the end. Already looking forward to them coming to City Road.

Can't argue with that, one win each and a draw since I've been playing, got a nice little rivalry going now. Well played again.

They got hammered at wk end but we played em last wk and they were ok. They got a guy at prop who is a big unit and strong as a bull who is a handfull and ther 6 has a good kicking game (he kicked us to death). also got told that ther usual scrum half is a top player however he never played against us.

They are a better side than that result suggests, big aggressive set of forwards but you men should have too much for them at home.

we played em a couple of times last season...this time last year it was 40-0 to us at home.....in april we beat em about 38-24 at there place, from what i remember they were a complete different side second time around and it was a rough game.

Thats what you will getfrom them. Big Physical side wont play much rugby but will match it up the middle. We got on top of them phyiscally at home they doen like it when it kicks off so just go out on fire give it them in the 1st 10 should be ok. They are a better team than last year though. Watch for the ginger second row Kyle Eastmonds cousin good player too will run all day
