The 2nd XV traveled to Tring for what was always going to be a tough fixture as Trings 2nd XV last year comfortably won the league that Ruislip 2s are playing in this year. Although there were a number of last minute cry-offs, call ups and injuries Ruislip still managed to start the game with 18 thanks to 2 x 3rd Team players stepping up and Ron dusting off his boots. The game started evenly as both teams weighed up their opposition. Ruislip opened the scoring with a try and Tring soon replied with one of their own. Ruislips forward dominated at the set moves constantly forcing the Tring scrum through 90 which the Ref occasionally noticed. The player frustration began to show as Tring constantly infringed by joining the rucks from the sides, laying on the ball, holding players back etc - the result was a yellow for Jesse and Henk and Ruislip down to 13 for 10mins. The players showed true Ruislip spirit and only conceded 5 points during this time. The 2nd half saw Ruislip playing to their strengths with 30 meter drives from a number of lineouts - Tring soon worked out that their only defense to the Ruislip drive was to drop it but not before Ron went over for 2 trys (although Chunky is claiming one of them!) and setting Dan Henshall up for a short range try in the corner. Although there were a number of good performances the MOM must go to new boy Tjops for his powerful runs and huge hits. Tring scored again at some point as did Tokes ending the game with another win 29-19. Great end to 2007, enjoy the 2 weeks off and have a very Merry Christmas - Oli
