NTL Round 1 Match 1
Result: Won 12 - 2

The match started off with Bedok kicking off. At the first turnover, we punched hard at the center creating open spaces in the middle for the first try. Supporting play for the try was excellent. Our second and subsequent try came from a combination of quick hands and dummy breaks. Our defense in the first half was good. Even so, we were giving Bedok too much space at the center as our center defense cover was very slow.

Bedok's try came in from a center defense error where which caused a penalty try. His fat ass The soft ground caused Adam to slip and Bedok's quick reaction to exploit the situation paid off. Penalty try was given for bitch-slapping grabbing and touching the try scorer repeated times before getting onside. The score was approximately 6 tries to 1 at half time.

The second half started with a new set of 6. Miscommunication between the centers and the links resulted in a couple of turnovers from dropped balls. We began to pick up momentum after 5 minutes from the kick off of the second half. There were a number of opportunities where we did not exploit the extra numbers on the wings. This is caused by 3 factors. The ball carrier did not straighten up his running line; the passes did not connect with the receiver and the receiver cutting back in instead of running straight into the gaps for a pass.

The last ten minutes of the second half saw a couple of individual efforts to break the line at the middle zone. Bedok managed to squeeze one try in at the link and wing gap in the last ten minute period. The error is caused by the link being obstructed by the referee. Our defense was slightly stronger in the second half. The match ended of with a score of 12-2.
