Match Report

Farnborough Falcons rugby league team traveled to Feltham young offenders prison on Saturday. The mood going up was very tense, as for a lot of the lads it was their first ever match. The Falcons however settled their nerves quickly and within ten minutes had scored four tries. The first 20 minutes of the half by Falcons was smart, playing simple and quick plays keeping the Eagles at bay. After a few more scores the Falcons lost touch of the simple but effective plays and opted for a very flamboyant style, however with a lack of training together as a team a lot of these plays went to ground and gave the Eagles possession. In defence the Falcons defended hard and bravely and kept the opposition to nil at halftime.

The second half was a much closer affair, with the Eagles scoring a very well worked try, from their monster second row. Soon after they got another consolation try with a length of the pitch run. The Falcons still dominated the half, having quality possession and converting that into points, winning the game 64-8.
