Braddock - another tireless performance.

Director of Rugby, Brent Johnston, offers his game observations today and we have spiced them with a few other comments offered by fans. BJ: “At game’s end, I felt I had seen this same picture some twelve months ago! The match was in reach at the half, with the Vikes ahead, 17 – 5. CW clawed back some ground and trailed 10 – 17 at fifteen minutes into the second stanza. At this point, the wheels came off and the students added 45 points in the final 25 minutes, with width and pace, serving them well.” Final score, Vikes 62 - 17. Johno adds; “The CW boys will rebound from this tough day at the office after video review which will be hard to watch but there were good things done despite much to improve on.”

Random comments –“Armstrong played his best game as a Tricolor.” “Braddock’s leadership and play, was gold.” “Newcomer, Sam “Silas” Bishop was very visible.” “Carnet was a revelation, despite what could have been adjudged as an early replacement.” “It was good to see Stephan Mosher back, lost a slight edge in pace but nothing in desire and motivation.” “Sam Rocher @ #10 was solid throughout.”

Editorial – The Vikes are definitely the real deal and a force to be reckoned with, a considerable impetus coming from grads from CW, worth a little chest-puffing but no help on the points table! CW gets another chance Vs the students on October 19^th, when the CDI Premiership “kicks off”.
