Not certain of the venue yet but wherever it is the Stags had better gear themselves up for it. If they play they like they did at the Friarage Horden's big pack will suck them in and spit them out.
It's something not lost on the lads ... even the Cheslins are threatening to turn up for the Saturday training session which Gary Miller has called.
The game ended all sqaure with two penalties each from the full backs Messrs Wallis and Hall. Credit to the Heughers for taking the game to the Stags whose efforts to play an expansive game frequently ended in mistakes in the midfield.
Without Phil Henderson our line outs suffered and with Masshedar on the wing we looked a little unbalanced. Perhaps switching the eager Wallis to centre and Mash to full back might have opened the home defence ... as it was neither side looked like scoring a try all night.
The new slimline Phil Gilbraith was the pick of the forwards, and our most dangerous attacker, but he'll need more support next Wednesday.
The game was halted for some time at half time when Ian Pinchen went down with what looked like a very painful leg injury. Fortunately, he was allowed home form hospital with nothing worse than a chipped bone. Brother Andrew was concussed when he ran into Wallis but was last seen recovering in the clubhouse. He'll be miffed when it finally dawns on him that his team are out of the cup despite drawing.
