Casuals 45 Coalville 10
Maybe the following is a clue
Casuals made 8 changes to the starting XV, 9 in total with 3 positional, so out of the 17 that turned up, it can be seen that Casuals were severely disrupted.
In came Dan Clarke & Niall O’Kane on the wings, (in place of Dan O’Connor & Steve Naylor) Chris Brelsford & Joe Barton centres for Brodie Howatson &, James Wood - moved to stand off (Mark Higgins) Antonios Alexiou, prop (Alex Hawkins), Alastair Shaw, hooker (Graeme Roberts), Matt Fox & Kieran Maisonett, locks (Ollie Mann & Joe Barton), Simba Matambo & Graeme Roberts, wing forwards (Barry Harding & Steve John), and Steve John to No 8 (Liam Annable)
Players in same position as last week, Ben Hallam (F/B) Jack Weedon, 9, Richard Gill, prop
Bench, Richard (Flem) Floyd (despite his shock at his selection) and Dan O’Connor (his bus took a wrong turning)
2 Highlights
Ben Hallam 70 metre run for his try, from a superbly timed pass from Richard (Flem) Floyd and Joe Barton try from a pushover with Flem lending his weight
