Newark Get off to a Flyer

Captain Halfpenny and vice David Colcomb led out the men's 2's in there first match of the season against local rivals Grantham. According to the official match report the 2's lost captain Halfpenny sometime between the start of the match and halftime, which is very careless. If anyone has seen him please let the club know. He looks a bit like this. Despite it being the first game and misplacing there captain the 2's gelled well and on the whole the play was good throughout. Unfortunately I missed the first goal which was scored by young Ryan Foster but he did describe the goal for me apparently he picked the ball up top of Newark’s D took it down the left skinning 4 Grantham players cut inside where he left the 2 centre backs for dead pirouetted onto his reverse and smashed the ball top right in off the angle (the accuracy of this information cant be confirmed). The second half saw more Newark dominance and a characteristic goal from Pixars very own and a some silky skill and calm finish from 'Son of a Legend' Sam Smith. Grantham did pull one back but the game ended 3-1 and a well deserved win to kick start the season.

On review Coach Davies seemed pleased with the performance especially from those who played 3's last season and also hinted at her new found love of Columba livia domestica.
