Cryptians too clinical for the Badgers
First up for the lads were Brockworth who were looking to improve on the previous meeting between the two. From the first whistle the Cryptians looked like they never been away and were passing the ball better than the clubs senior 2nd team and soon broke through the hosts defence to race into the lead. Brockworth did manage to find gaps in the Cryptians relatively solid defence to get a few scores of their own but the lads were too classy for their opponents and won the match comfortably 8 - 17.

Newent cause a scare
Cryptians next game was against Newent a team who the boys had never played before. Newent proved to be a tricky team who were very quick to stamp their mark on the game by running in the first try. The lads had to quickly change their game plan and soon found that using the offload in the tackle would leave gaps in the opposition defence which were exploited by our pacey players to find their way over the whitewash. The game went right to the wire but it was Cryptians who ground out the win 6 - 8
