First game was against King's Cross Steelers, from London. Very strong team, they counter-rucked us to shreds, we lost hard. (One King's Cross player subbed, & changed into his jersey midfield. His gorgeous body distracted half our players. The ball came out & half of us were still drooling -- ooops.) Good experience for a first game, as it got us all focused -- on the game, not the other teams pecs. Second game was against the Northern Stags, a combo team from Scotland & Northern England. Evenly matched, we scored 2 tries right away. Then we got overconfident, & they came back & scored 2 tries as well. We kept hammering away at them, & spent most of the game on offense, but the Stags defended hard & would not let us in to the try zone. 30 seconds to go, on a breakdown at the Stags try line, Gotham finally put the ball across the line. Final score, Gotham wins, 18-12. Tries scored by Martin, Kevin (visiting from SF) & Nuno. GO GOLD!!!
Tomorrow we play Amsterdam at 10am, last game of regular pool. Then it's on the playoff. Think winning thoughts, peoples!
