The 1st team.
With nothing on Twitter from Lydney during the first half, I had no idea how the match was playing out, then Kieran sent me a text with the halftime score of 10~17.
"That's ok but a little tight" I replied.
I did feel that we were probably not playing a relaxed game, and so it proved to be.

Then sitting at home waiting for the result as a text message or showing on the RFU results page after the game was over was a nervous forty-five minutes. At last, it came up on the results services. It was a narrow win and clearly a very tight game.
Fraz told me that he had probably worn a groove in front of their stand walking up and down towards the end.
" I don't suppose it will be a sober and quiet trip home"
"All asleep, I think" he replied.
Rugby players are not what they were.
