The following Match Reports was written (by Mohammed Nasir Addax under 17 Head Coach):
(Like Beowulf and other Norse Sagas, it is best sung aloud at a mead hall and accompanied by a steady beat on a goat-skin drum.)
After the long journey to Warri, It was a great day on Wednesday with the Addax under 17 again taking on our new rivals, the Shell RFC of Warri in the Niger Delta region.

The Addax, it must be said, were a little ragged around the edges and a little puffy around the middle. To be expected, perhaps, after the long 4 hours journey to Warri .
The Addax’s were in position to score a few times but enjoyed bad luck until Seyi, the ravenous bull plowed one through from the wing position in the first stanza. (This did happen, didn’t it

I believe the Addax held our Warri friends to two tries, and naturally by the ubiquitous Monday Omorogieva who made a stunning run around the best the Addax had to offer to dot under the posts.

The Shell pack did well in scrums, often pushing us back and winning one against the head. They won most scrums but we caught them sleeping at one of the early scrums, throwing in to Tunde without a call. We ran several pickups, taking advantage of "seven-hundred pounds of back row" (320 kilos). These tactics would yeild some gains, but moreover force the Shell to commit four or five players to stop the advance.

The Addax back line offense was decent after substituting Kazeem Ballo, but stymied a bit by the young, fleet Shell player. The Shell players had more cohesion than they had a right to for playing together infrequently, made a great game of it and will only get better with more games. All in all, it was a good start to the season for the Addax.

Starting line-ups: 1.Ope, 2.Tunde, 3.Sodiq, 4.Steve Kazeem Ballo, 5.Rasaq Olasoye, 6.Yusuf, 7.Seyi.

Substitutes: Monday Omorogieva, Dayo Awobajo, (Little) Julius, and Michael Eneji.
Monday Omorogieva is the consensus man of the match.
