Welcome Win Against Well Organised Syston.  

After last year’s difficult opening encounter against Syston RFC, we knew it was always going to be a tough game and the first half certainly proved out this theory. After a bright opening to the match we then tried to play Rugby in the wrong areas of the pitch and, coupled with our high error count, were put under a lot of pressure by a young, organised Syston team. Syston were the better side for most of the period and Broadstreet were content to go into half-time only 15-10 down. 

Half-Time: -  Broadstreet 2nd's 10 – 15 Syston 2nd's

A change of ends and with a man Yellow carded at the very end of the first half, seemed to change the balance of power. The match became a game of two halves. Down to fourteen, the guys stepped it up, rising to the challenge and even scored a try in that ten minute period. With more possession, better territory and the introduction of fresh legs off the bench, Broadstreet seemed to gel as a team a lot better than in the first half, cutting down also on basic errors.  In what appeared to be a role reversal of the initial period the 'Street; ran out deserved winners.
