Big thank you to Smiths RFC for hosting us under the lights on Friday night. It’s been a while since the club has played a Friday night game and it didn’t disappoint.
Straight off the whistle, Smiths strong running tested our defence, and it carried on all game. It was great to see the hard work the Cainy team have been putting in at training with defence paying off. Special mention to Sam Hanahoe taking charge of the backs at 10, scoring a try and hitting over 6 conversions from tries off Ed Cantwell, Flynn Hargreaves, Iman Hussain and Mark Newman in the backs. Dean Rice, not wanting the backs to have all the fun, also crossed over from a strong run off the back of a scrum. Massive credit to Smiths for keeping their heads up all game and never letting up, crossing the line 3 times from 2 strong forward plays and finding space out wide on the wing.
It was a difficult task after the game of choosing Man of the Match as everyone in the team had an amazing game. The well deserved choice went to Nathan Scrivens, whose confidence is growing with every game and his performance didn’t disappoint, with strong running and passing. Thanks again Smiths and we look forward to hosting you at home later in the season.
