What a difference 2 weeks makes after the disappointment of losing at Burntwood with the final play of the game and especially after leading all game , it probably gave us the kick up the proverbial we needed and with some strong and wise words from the captain and coaching team we welcomed Erdington to Battlestead Croft on ladies day, we chose to play on the pitch at the rear of the clubhouse thereby , giving the ladies the opportunity to watch either the 1st team play bottom of the league Broadstreet or the mighty B's win the league !!.
Unfortunately the Erdington lads couldn't raise a full side , but credit to them they came over , even though as per league rules , the game was awarded to us and with the use of some of our players the game was played as a friendly.
With 3 of our lads joining the Erdington ranks Tom Worrell , Rob Ramsell and Will Beard saw a strong Burton side kick off and we were soon on the attack ,within 2 minutes we were on the scoresheet Brad Jeffries going over in the corner , difficult conversion added by Harry Smith who kicked tactically and from the tee superbly all game in very windy conditions . Only slight blemish was an injury to Tom when being tackled causing him the leave the field of play ...speedy recovery Tom
The scoreboard ticked over nicely throughout the first period with further try's added by Shaun , Harry , Brad again for his second and Cam taking us into half time leading 31-0 .
Second half saw some changes with Kit and Cam pulling the Erdington shirt on and giving Will and Rob the Burton shirt back , although not as many points scored this half ,it actually ended up even at 12-12 but was thoroughly entertaining as it became a battle to stop both Cam and Kit scoring ..which we did with some memorable hits notably Ethan on Cam albeit only slightly late :) and Ben H on Kit ...final 2 try's scored by Joe and Will Beards first senior try in only his second game at this level .
Final Score B's 43-12 Erdington
In summary a fun enjoyable afternoon and We Won the League and achieved what we set out to do this season .
One more league game to play which is on the 6th April away at Wednesbury , the club and 1st team have kindly agreed to let us have the bus for this one , some legend's of the club already have their names down for this so its going to be a great day others more than welcome just let us know and we will reserve a seat .
