Today we welcomed Brough FC to St Benedict’s RUFC for our second game of the season. Fantastic bunch of lads who play in the Westmorland leagues so a good test for us. Goals from Luke bullock and Antony burton in the first 15 mins had things looking comfortable but Brough struck back from the penalty spot on 35 mins to get themselves going. They then scored just before half time after a corner wasn’t dealt with by the Tubbyfc defence to slot past the keeper.
Into the second half seen TubbyFC take the lead again with some loverly play found Michael peat to put the ball beyond the keeper. Brough struck back again from a free kick. Game finished 3-3. Up next for us is a tournament over in Newcastle next weekend

Man of match – Luke bullock although Cobie Mellon done his pint off challenge

The first game of our season we kicked off day 2 of bennies 50th anniversary weekend. We come up against a young squad not many over 35 lads in the squad. The first half seen us go down 4 goals but we took more control after the break where we were awarded a penalty which captain Dave Mellon slotted past the keeper. A short time after seen us grab a second with some
Great play from Luke Bullock who found Chris corkish who fired a shot past the keeper to make it 4-2. TubbyFC continued to have some great bits of play until the later stages of the second when Zebras put a further 4 past the lads. When the difference between the two teams fitness showed.
