Victory! 35-10

We made the long trip to Midland with 19 players. And it was worth it. Put one in the Win column: 35-10.

DARC scored 5 tries in the first half. Drew, Drew, Zee, Jesse, Tinashe. Forwards Win, 3 tries to two! Captain Russell made all of his conversion kicks.

Unfortunately, things slowed down in the second half. The Mad Dogs started to get their focus and almost the entire half was played in DARC's half. But we held them to two unconverted tries. Lots of good play all around. Let's make this a trend, fellas.

Men of the Match: The flyhalfs. Russell for DARC and Travis for Midland.

Several of our players filled in for Midland in their game against the Air Force boys from San Angelo. All three teams had a nice social afterwards, including a three-way boat-race under local rules, which DARC won (continuing our undefeated streak this season).

I'm making DVD copies of the game and will have some at practice Tuesday and Thursday.

Enjoy the well-earned victory boys. Until Monday, when you should hit the bricks for a jog. We've got a lot of work to do, especially for 2nd half fitness.

Side Note: Van Riders in the third row. What are you? 8? You left a mess and this will go down in your permanent record. Next van ride, we will stop at a car wash place and everyone will collectively detail the van interior including vacuuming it.

That was a solid effort but we have plenty to work on. Thank you for a great weekend. Let's improve on this effort and keep it rolling. Cheers, Swick
