Wouldn't say strong Fev side, quite a few u23's playing and at least 8 missing who could be seen as 'regulars'.
Was a good match, KR couldn't break our strong defence in the first half but came out stronger and more determined in the second. Quicker play of the ball and 'flat' passes helped you make good yards and get in right at the corner. Good touch line conversion followed. Second try was just barge, barge and more barge until you went over near the posts.
Fevs turn then to speed things up and Tommy Saxton scored in the corner when faced by 3 KR defenders, followed by a brilliant bit of play by Grimmer under the posts.
KR had a try disallowed after a fumble over the line and we just worked the ball back up field and a well weighted chip through was collected to complete the scoring.
Brief match report but for a pre season hit out, not a bad game really and gives me the bragging rights at work when I next see the KR fans there.
Best of luck for the coming season
