Without wanting to tempt fate, but does anyone know when the draw for the next round is?

Second best in every department.

Hoping for a much better second half

We are finding it hard going up hill.
We need to really hammer them with our big runners.
And hold the ball.

Hood has put a right shift in.

Hi EW, my name is Fate; your recent post caught my attention and I'm tempted to know more...

I'm not bothered in the slightest by this exit. It's nothing but a distraction, in a comp we couldn't possibly win (as well as possible compromising our place in a comp we possibly could win).

It's one less game to lose a player to injury or suspension in, and a week off to rest our relatively thin squad.

Would have preferred a win, but not a drama to go out in today's conditions.

You are correct of course, it was just so frustrating to watch. However it's the next two games that are far more important and hopefully we can re group and make sure we are far better when we return to that paddy field in a couple of weeks.

Lol, apologies there everyone, me and my big mouth.

Disappointed, but like others, we weren't going to win it, and just a distraction.

Makes you wonder too, if we cant progress all the way, with the cup, what the mindset was in the camp for this, or maybe the next round.

Any, lets forget it, and move on to tbe league and 1895 trophy.

If the attitude was anything less than play your best and try to win there is a problem.

Professional players don't do that in my opinion. It's just sometimes plans don't work out as you want them to.
