Saturday 19 March 2011: both Minety’s senior teams suffered heavy defeats on Saturday.
The 1st XV went down 40-3 away against Trowbridge seconds. A big thank you to Tom Fitzcharles for giving the press officer details of what happened in that game. A match report is now available in the Match Reports section.
The Dream Team, meanwhile, found themselves completely mismatched in the Stroud & District Junior Cup, and went down 0-91 to Dursley seconds. There’s a brief report in the Match Reports section, but it won’t add much to what you’ve just read.
Let’s hope that Minety can be a little more competitive this Saturday, 26 March 2011, as the firsts play away against our near neighbours at Cricklade while the seconds travel south to take on their counterparts at Westbury.
Meanwhile, don’t forget…
