85-10
Merlins was a very well drilled, fit, fast and very organised team. The Misfits came out to play in the 1st half and found themselves seeing the backs of the Merlins crossing the try line at a regular pace. In fact the Merlins were up 57 -0 at half time.
It was time to work out what was going wrong with the Misfits. We were far too soft in the 1st half and allowed the Merlins to dominate in all phases and it was very difficult for the Misfits to get their hands on the ball and retain the little ball they did manage to get.
2nd half the Misfits had to stand up and show a bit more heart and balls on the field. We were too soft in the 1st half and were getting pushed all over the field especially at ruck time. The boys did step up and got more physical around the ruck and maul area and started retaining and actually winning some ball. The other thing is the missed tackle and when we missed a tackle with a team this fast and fit we paid dearly. Final score 85-10 (2nd half-28-10-respectable)
But once again-we were great hosts on and off the field, Thanks to Lubo we played on a very nice pitch-very wide and we actually had spectators cheering us on. It always amazes the opposition when they get to play and have Mt Vitosha in thier sites.

Once again-thanks to the committee for organising the pitch, beers, kit, water, after match function, merchandise and referees. In fact we had 3 available referees-cheers Myles, Rueben and Vesso. But a big thanks to the Misfits and Mercury players-great to have a squad of 22 and to Krassie our import for the day.
