A good start to the season with an impressive win in windy conditions.The game played mostly in the Wichita half was a good example of multi phase rugby with quick ball and hard running.Scoring six tries in the first half the backs had enough ball to penetrate the defensive line of the Wichita backs, putting them on their heels most of the half. In the second half Wichita came out a more organized team trying to put pressure on the visitors but to no avail. With good quick counter attacks another five tries with scored with ease. The man of the match went to Jason Estes with a very impressive turn out by Jon Mize.

  • The wind did not diminish for the second game with the home team feeling They had something to prove. A close game throughout with the home team having the advantage of putting 15 fresh lads on the field. But the experience and fitness of the Athletics quided them through. They were also helped by a few new players to the club, Chris Peak and Nick Abernethy. Man of the match went to Brian Duffner.
