Match Report: Taunton Tigers Under 16 Mens Team — 31 January 2009

Taunton Tigers vs Bristol Academy Flyers


Once again Tigers under 16's failed to deliver again suffering a humiliating defeat to a team we confidently beat last year. Tigers flew in the first two minutes leading the game by 10 points however, once Bristol broke our defence a couple of times we dropped our heads and our ambitions to triumph dropped just because a few failures, which hit hard when Bristol started to score more.

Lack of concentration, intensity and carrying out simple instructions carried on all through the game. This caused frustration amongst players which meant there was no leadership, and communication. I don't know if we can blame the long break from Christmas but one thing is for sure, we have to get our act together and become stronger in the areas of weaknesses we have. There is nothing else to say apart from well played to Bristol and I hope this lesson will wake us up to reality to make us realise to start delivering some wins.

Final Score: Taunton Tigers 55 – 64 Bristol Academy Flyers
