Fakenham & West Norfolk v Holt 07.04.13

After two weeks off following a cancellation and Easter Sunday this hastily re-arranged fixture certainly had a bit of end of season feel to it. With a number of players away and injured it was agreed to borrow a load of West Norfolk players for a game against Fakenham and then for a combined Fakenham & Holt team v West Norfolk.

The start of the game against Fakenham was a bit of a messy one, as players got to know their team mates and attempted to switch on to the fact they were actually in a game. Maybe the spring sunshine confused them all.

At half-time it was Fakenham 12 - Holt 5. A try by Callum, his first fixture back after his broken finger the only Holt score. In the second half Simmo added to the Holt score but Fakenham also added a converted try to end the game Fakenham 19 - Holt 10.

In the pictures below there are a number of West players in Holt shirts. Thank you to all of those that helped us out and made this fixture possible. Also thanks to Peggy for putting Harrison's dislocated finger back in, another injury to add to the season's ever growing list.

Three cheers...

The second game was primarily a Fakenham v West Norfolk fixture but Fakenham kindly let all the Holt players get half a game each. The next set of pictures show a few familiar faces in unfamiliar shirts, spot the Holt player. West Norfolk won this well contested and well played game. Thank you to William from Fakenham for organising this and letting the Holt players get as much game time.

Boys, don't get too used to wearing those shirts.

Happy chappies.
