Class is PERM-anent.
As the saying goes Form is temporary, Class is Permanent. And sporting a barnet that Kevin Keegan and Terry McDermott would have been proud of young Wil Martin showed a perm and plenty of class to lead his side to a comfortable victory. Teamed up with fellow pube-head Was, plus the more aero-dynamically styled Steves. Martin's team had a perfect blend of pace and power, youth and experience. Initially proceedings began with some dangerzone where Martin excelled, and Page was woeful. After some warm up touch, where teams juggled about and found balance and tries were exchange with generosity, the matter settled down to a best of 5 try match up. Opposition for Martin and Co were the two Marks, Bullick and Wilson. Again well balance on youth, experience, algility and power. Once the starters pistol was fired the teams upped the ante, particularly Wilson, who suddenly looked interested in picking up some of the silverware on offer.
Sets of six were traded, with both sides making full use of the large playing surface. Some touches which made the eyes water were handed out, but the deadlock could not be broken, until Martin received the ball in his own half, with 4 men to beat he stepped forwards, left, back, left again, before accelerating off to the right, around the last defender and tearing clear with the fullback left grasping for his flowing locks. Bullick's returning set saw some great play, but no end reward, and when the ball was turned over up stepped The Eagle, to run in a try that shows his wing is well on the road to recovery. Taking the ball at 1st receiver, he took the ball to the line, dummied to Was on the outside, then stepped through a gap in the line, and won the 40m race to the line. With a 2 score gap, thoughts of a comfortable end were soon extinguished, as Bullick combined with Wilson to send him racing past a wrong footed Page, and over the line. From this point either team could have snatched momentum, but the game was all wrapped up, when Was ran it in hard, before flicking to Ringbinder, who found Martin out wide. His step gained him enough space to work with and his raw pace did the rest. On picking up his MVP aware Wil had these to say "I took a lot of stick out there today for my hair. I could take ironic banter from Page, but it was unbelievable to get it from Jono, who frankly looks like he's stepped out of a 70s Disco. I decided that he was not worthy of the ball, so I didn't pass to him, and it worked out great, as I have loads of skills and he has none".
To be involved in some quality nights of touch, tag, dangerzone and forceback, make you way down to Harvey Hadden on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, and join the army of legends who make this game great.
