Leighton Buzzard
Report

Another League game and this time a top of the table clash with Leighton Buzzard. A win would see Forest go to the top of the table.

It was never going to be easy with buzzard having a good home record, but when we finally made it after (Leigh the water-boy set his sat nav to Leighton Town and not the rugby grounds) the expression on our faces was that the team was ready to play rugby.

The first thirty minutes was pretty much all Forest, they controlled the game. There was one moment of madness from Glyn Johnson which almost saw Buzzards winger run unopposed. The last ten minutes of the first half saw the set pieces even with Forest owning the scrum time and Buzzard owning the line-out, both teams canceling each other out with good defense.

Start of the second half was the much the same with Forest doing the attacking and Buzzard trying to live off of Forests mistakes. One minute to go Buzzard had the chance to equalize with a long range penalty but they missed.

It was a very physical match and even the Buzzards supporters agreed that the best team won!

A very bitterly cold day was made better by the win, BUT we must remember: It is easy to get to the top of the the hard part is staying there!!
