An icy cold Long Buckby saw a 15 man squad make the journey so credit to all the players and parents encapsulating the growing togetherness of the group.

Long Buckby were always going to be tough opponents and so it proved as over two games there well drilled side showed south by passing, keeping the ball alive and using the width of the pitch really does make for tries.

South battled valiantly and tackled like demons throughout both games and the onlookers could not fault the spirit and application by all. Plenty of squad rotation plus knocks meant arguably our strongest 11 were never on the pitch at the same time.

Well done guys, we are doing the hard things very well; improve the ball retention, keep your shape, keep believing as a team and the performances will continue to improve.
