There was pork baps for sale at the last home game
Were they being sold from a secret venue? I went to kitchen hatch in bar & bought a pasty. No sign or smell of any Baps... pork or otherwise!
On sale at the kitchen hatch in the clubhouse. They were listed on the menu on the counter. That’s where I saw it and bought two. Rather good they were
I wanted to write a report about the superb match last week but what with work shift changes and a seemingly endless treadmill of medical appointment where Pam and I finished up on first name terms with half the staff at the QE - I simply ran out of time.
I concur with fellow supporters about the match last week where Moseley thoroughly desrved their win against Cambridge. And as has been pointed out I noticed there was a forward pass leading up to the Cambridge first try.
But rather than dwell on trivia I wanted to look at the bigger picture where it was evident from the start that the Moseley lads were building on the superb second half performace they put in against DMP the week before.
Here two significan areas stood out for me. The first was the desire to run the ball from open play and where Aquille Smithy had scored a glorious interception to score the first Moseley converted try under the Cambridge posts. The second was the driving maul defence. I felt that overall the Cambridge pack, with their low, flat, firmly bound scrum formation were better in the tight than Moseley and where, if memory serves me, Cambridge won a couple of scrum penalties.
However, I felt it was a period of sustained and determined line defence by the Moseley lads in the second half, where Cambridge mounted wave after wave of driving mauls on the Moseley line but each one was repelled, which swung the match for Moseley. It was thrilling to watch and, for me, certainly was a match turning point.
Up till that point Cambridge, with the help of some questionable official oversights, had managed to pull away to a 7-19 lead six minutes or so into the second half. Shortly after that though Aquille Smith had the pleasure of being on the end of some an enterprising Moseley counter attack to score his second and unconcverted try for Moseley in the club house corner.
Moseley, like a well tuned ferrari, were firing on all cylinders and giving Cambridge a lot to think about. And it didn't take long before the Moseley running style had ceated an opportunity for Jaque le Roux to crash over for the third and converted Moseley try to equal the score. Before too long a Dan Lewis penalty which gave gave Moseley the lead they deserved had the Moseley faithful in raptures. This was thrilling stuff to watch, this was.
Unfortunatley a Moseley penalty in their own 25 gave Cambridge the opportunity to extend their lead. Cambridge didn't fancy a catch and drive so they tried to sneak a quick tap and although Moseley were ready for them thye managed to crab a maul towards the stand side post and score their fourth converted and bonus point try.
The Moseley heads didn't drop, far from it as they danced and drove their way back up to the Cambridge line where they were rewarded with a penalty try. Oh such joy! Such sweet, joyouse reward for a storming effort by the Moseley lads where a goodly mixture of confident, opportunist running rugby coupled with a cussed, determined, defiance defence to overcome adversity held to the end.
Here's to Leeds on Saturday. Pam and I will be there.
Come on Mooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooose
