After last weeks success in our first game on the National 2 League, facing Chester away, the boys have been prepping for a tough fixture against Hornets, in our first home game of the season.
Benjy Joseland, an impressive player for EURFC for the last two years whose going into his third university year, discussed last weeks game and the prospects of the season.
“It was good to be back playing with the lads last week, after a rusty start we started to show glimpses of what we can do, especially in attack which is really exciting for the season ahead”
Last weeks fixture against Chester set EURFC up for a promising season ahead, with 5 points already under the belt, to kick start the year. Joseland believes that the upcoming squad this year is a powerful side and can achieve a lot with the right mindset.
“We have a strong squad with enormous depth this season so we can really push to be in that top 3 for this league with expectations of going back to back in BUCS Super Rugby.”
This afternoons match against Hornets is bound to be a tough one after their victory last week against our known rivals Loughborough. Benjy elaborated on the fixture stating that “the boys need to keep their head down and focus on the fixture ahead, to get our best game”
The boys return to Topsham today is expected to be a good turn out with the return of the boys to home soil.
