FULL TIME: Aireborough RUFC 17 – 56
Well… if you like your rugby served with a side of heatstroke and harsh life lessons, this one had it all ☀️🥵
First half?
They came out like they’d double-booked theatre and needed to finish us off early… clinical, sharp, and playing the width like absolute pros.
Us? A step behind. Missed tackles, loose passes, and a few too many “that’ll do” moments… which, spoiler alert, did not in fact do. Medics punished everything. And we mean everything. By halftime, they’d built themselves a lead that was about as comfortable as sitting in the shade with a pint 🍺
Second half, different story 👀
Aireborough finally woke up, got the bit between the teeth, and started throwing some punches of our own 💥 Carrying harder, tackling like we meant it, and actually asking a few questions of the Medics defence.
And surprise surprise… we can actually play a bit.
If we’d started the game how we finished it? Who knows. Might’ve been a very different afternoon. Instead, we left ourselves with too much to do and a very good Medics side made sure we paid for it.
Try Scorers:
🔥 Mikey Dolan
🔥 Semm Donzo
🔥 Will Girt
Man of the Match 🏆 Semm Donzo was unreal out there 💥
Big carries, big hits, big talent. Back-to-back games with a try and he’s only 17… that’s frightening for the rest of the league 😮💨
Dick of the Day 🤦♂️ David Krushell
After trying to keep the ball in play… while already stood in touch.
It went about as well as trying to push a “pull” door — full confidence, zero awareness, and absolutely no chance it was ever working...
Massive shoutout to every lad who pulled on the shirt today! The effort in that second half showed what this group is capable of 💪
And just like that… that’s the season done.
😅 Some tough days
🔥 Some big performances
🤦♂️ And a few we’ll politely pretend never happened
But through it all — the graft, the laughs, the chaos — it’s building something.
Now it’s time to rest up, recharge, and maybe remember what weekends feel like without sore legs and questionable life choices.
We go again. Bigger. Stronger. Better. 🐺
