Black Panthers fall to the Wazee again

Black Panthers lost yet again to the Wazee in their game last Saturday. The Wazee were unable to raise numbers for the game but enlisted the help of 2 youngsters to get their numbers up to 10 and the 2 teams agreed to play a 10 aside version of the game. Along the way, the Wazee added 2 more youngsters to their ranks and the game became 12 aside.

Guma, Arthur Mugweri and Gordon were making their debuts and thouroughly enojoyed themselves while Fabian burned out after scoring 2 tries. Regina famously chased down Kasasa and Fabian on separate occasions and felled them just before the try line while Brenda put in her customary earth shaking tackles. Emma gave her trademark handoff to a hapless Gordon in what was, by her standards, a quiet game for her.

I lost count of the tries but like last time, we managed to string together some good phases of attack and our defence line was standard. Yes, I know the oldies got through but it's hard work tackling a man plus his pot belly time and time again.

Eventually, the oldies starting pleading with Charlie (the match referee) to end the game early as their unfitness kicked in and we got into high gear. Charlie initially mercilessly ignored them but when they started buckling at the knees he gave in whistled for the end of the game.

Brenda and Beatrice got over the try line for us while Charlotte made good with the extras. The Wazee awarded MVP to the shortest and the tallest girls on the pitch, that is, Regina and Beatrice.

Well done ladies, we’ll fell them yet.

The UWRA 15’s league starts on 6^th February.
