GAME 1 COMPLETE💪🏼
H&B’s 1XV made a convincing league debut yesterday, dispatching Canterbury in style in our brand new club kit👏🏼
It was a one sided first hour, beginning with a classy first try from scrum half Isaac Wales, off a great break from Captain Harry Walker. Tom Hirst added to the tally with a well struck penalty before el Capitáno got a score of his own to finish the half 0-13.
The second half began in the same vain, with tries for Ho**er Noah Linfield, and another each for Wales and Walker. It’s just a shame the Hastings kicking curse was also back with a vengeance.
The blue+white defence was a solid wall until the last quarter, however a redemption try for Canterbury brought the score to 5-30 with 15 to go.
Towards the end of the second half, front row injuries to Jacob McDonough and Liam Hunt brought the scrums uncontested. Then in the last 10, a yellow card for Jack Hardy left Hastings with just 13 men on the field, and lead to another breakaway try for the home side.
Despite this, our boys will be pleased with a strong start to the season and a 10-30 victory🔵⚪️
