Mansfield v Keyworth Sunday 19th February 2012 1st Match Good rugby by Keyworth kept the Mansfield side under constant pressure and a good passing move resulted in Henry making an early score for Keyworth which Liam converted. Keyworth’s pack were putting lots of effort in the scrums and winning lots of ball for their team, this was backed up by some good strong tackles and it was becoming one way traffic on a sunny day on a dry pitch.

A last minute attack by Mansfield after Keyworth switched off was also converted. Mansfield 7 – Keyworth 42 Mellish v Keyworth 2nd Match An early line out for Mellish put Keyworth’s defence under lots of pressure but Keyworth with a revamped line up held them out well. After several attempts to cross Keyworth’s line good work kept the scores level and eventually Theo collects on his own line and breaks clear good support by Henry who receives the ball almost scores but is bundled into touch, a good clearance kick by Mellish deep into Keyworth’s half means more defending for Keyworth who once again held out well. A quick change of tactics by Keyworth’s coach back to the format of the 1st game immediately showed dividends and Tom takes a low pass well and breaks clear to take the pressure off his defence. Half time:- Mellish 0 - Keyworth 0 The second half began with lots of time spent on the halfway line this was a better start by Keyworth but they were unable to control the ball for long enough periods.
