Stockholm 10's

Hi all,
I would like to say what a pleasure it was going to stockholm with you guys, it was an awesome trip with nothing to complain about.
So for the rest of the guys who are involved with Warriors, players or just social members here's a little summary of the weekend.

Warriors guys, played against 3 teams on saturday, Chics, Stockholm Exiles and Bergen Red Nuts, first up was chics who were a pretty talented team and were obviously an experienced tens team, and Warriors lost by a fair few points, the positive thing about the game was Chics were made to work hard for their victory. Next up were stockholm exiles who were looking like a pretty tight well drilled unit, the outcome was 52-0 to the exiles, so Warriors had one game left for the day and we made it count, by becoming the first Finnish team to win in the group stages of the competition, it was a close game but we pulled a late try out of the bag and won the game by 7 points.

On the sunday we played off against a team that had finished 2nd in their group, The Amlin Mob who i believe were from wales, this team were obviously a good team as finishing 2nd in the group is no easy task, Warriors had finally figured out how to play tens rugby and gave these boys a good run for their money, had Warriors last try been scored under the posts and not in the corner the game would probably have been tied but a dropkick from the sideline was unsuccessfull and we lost the game by a single conversion.

All in all it was an eventful competition and i believe the Warriors wish to return next year for another go, thanks to Taina for all her hard work and to all the other guys and girls who played, drunk and sung their hearts out, "old roy casey had a farm........ ."

Thanks a lot,

Matt "nobody loves me" Jordan
