HULL
HULL
After their rocky start of the
Rugby Union season, Hull
RUFC remains hopeful this
season despite their recent
losses against Hull Ionians and
Chester.
Hull RUFC was immediately
beaten by Hull Ionians at the start of
the season by their scrummaging
ability, organised defence and
ability to score against Hull. After
winning an early line out, Ionians
showed their intent for victory.
Hull reacted and showed good
handling skills before Hull’s leftwinger, Jamie Clark, beat several
defenders on his way to the line.
Ionians regained the lead with a
penalty goal from their scrum-half
Isaac Green after Hull slayed the
ball at a ruck near their own 22
metre line.
Hull raised their game and applied
enough pressure of their own to
have a penalty awarded near the
half-way line. Ionian’s Joe Makin,
strolled through a large gap in
Hull's defences for a try near
the posts giving Green an easy
conversion.
Hull had most of the ball for the
first 15 minutes of the second
half. They created decent field
positions and had a couple of
attempts at catch and drives from
lineouts near the visitor’s line. Had
Hull scored a try at this stage they
may well have troubled an efficient
Hull Ionians side but their failure to
do so gave the creativity back to
the visitors.
Although Hull never gave up, with
Max Argyle leading Hull's charge,
they were unable to prevent Hull
Ionians scoring an unconverted
try.
Despite their negative feedback
from chairman David Piercy, who
said that Hulls performance was a
disjointed effort with the inability to
capitalise on scoring chances, Hull
started well in their game against
Chester with an early catch and
drive lineout near Chester’s line. Chester
responded with a similar chance after just
ten minutes and won their own lineout.
After finding themselves deep in the
home’s side 22 metre area, their failure
to score seemed to take a back seat due
to their struggle against difficult penalty’s
from 50 yards out by Lound.
Both sides then mounted unconvincing
attacks until Chester made the most of
a missed tackle by Hull after which gave
their right-winger Rees an easy run into
the corner to give Chester an advantage
of a 12-0 lead.
The game was effectively over when
Chester won another lineout close to the
Hull line giving their scrum-half Walsh his
second try of the game. Hull never gave
up with flanker Sullivan who served as a
prominent player throughout the game.
However, lineout problems and poor
handling hindered their progress.
Despite a 32-0 defeat in this game and
a defeat against Ionians, Hull remains
confident for prosperous matches and
triumphs to come in the season. Rugby
Club Magazine would like to wish them
the best of luck.
