With the average age of the UWC boys being around 15 years old, and the Shadows average age being close to double that - speed, fitness and agility were never going to be on our side.Never the less a very wise training session for 3.5 minutes before taking the field proved to be a technically astute decision, and moulded what was potentially an uncohesive, directionless bunch of fat unfit mainly injured or sick has been rugby players with no idea how to play touch (Apart from Mephine and Nadine!) into a superior, tightly gelled touch force!!
The 1st Half
Technically the youngsters from UWC had little idea - and the Shadows did well to contain them to only 1 try in the first half to 4 scored by the Shadows.
The last 10 minutes of the second half were always going to be the concern however and with severe exhaustion setting in, the Shadows stiff defensive line crumbled like the Wallaby forward pack on Saturday night and they let in 3 more tries. 
However some silky skill and good attacking work close to the try line by mighty Mephine Ong allowed the Shadows to dot down 3 more tries with the final score being 7 - 4.Team awards for the week:
Moron of the week - Mephine for forgetting to bring TWO team jerseys to the game (one was her own) - next time you do this Meph you will have to play in your sports bra only ok.
Superstar of the week - Nadine whose little legs were like steel springs hurling her all over the pitch - trule inspirational
Hero of the week - Dal whose desperate diving defense saved at least 3 tries
Team man of the week - Gareth - for volunteering to wash the team jerseys - good work bud!
Comittment of the week - Split between Dennis Marshment and Sean - Dennis played with stiches and Sean played with bird flu
Wanker of the week - David Teo who proved as again like last season is an unreliable lazy little liar and has one last chance to turn up this weekend with his jersey boots and money or he will be AXED!
