It was emperor Napoleon who stated, all those years ago, “In war the morale is to the physical as thirty is to one”.If we believe Napoleon (after all he did lose to an old fart who claimed his experiences on the playing fields of Eton gave him that victory).

Addax's Under 14 Side Played Ansar'Uddeen selected side.This game consisted of 4 x 15 minute quarters and as the score line suggests Addax overwhelmed their plucky opponents. The pitch was very wide so Addax had to adjust from their forwards orientated game to a more normal expansive style. Addax's winger's had a bad day with the absence of the key players.

Despite the scoreline, the Head coach (John Sylvanus) was proud of the team's performance against a very good Ansar'Uddeen side. Addax's defence was found wanting, but the effort put in by the players, especially in the second half could not be faulted.

One aspect in particular pleased the coach; when the squad was rotated at each break their was very little change in performance, each player put in a very good effort and it showed in the overall performance and result.

When Addax played Racing RFC on the evening of Saturday, Racing had to scale several mental barriers that act as the proverbial “Lion in the path” to victory.Next
