First 7's of the season...

On a weekend when it was hotter than the Sahara desert a bunch of 12 young warriors went into their first 7ís battle of the season. We had a squad that Caesar himself would be proud of.

Our first engagement was against the Crazy Dogs. They were true to their name, out manoeuvring us on every front. The boys fought valiantly but alas we experienced heavy casualties and narrowly lost this encounter. Like a phoenix, the warriors rose from ashes and went onto to conquer, defeating all adversaries in three waves of attacks. One battle remained to seal glory. This was going to be a battle of epic proportionsí as the winner would take all spoils and raise the coveted silver bowl. The gods had congregated above and demonstrated their mite with shows of lightening and thunder. The atmosphere was tense and our leader, Ed went into battle with his chosen elite legion. Mars was not on our side this hot Spring afternoon. Our opposition out flanked us taking full advantage of the fact that our warriors were weary from the suns intense heat and tired from a days battle. They fought valiantly but we could not seal glory. We have learnt a lot from this day. Everyone that went into battle worked for their legion and everyone can hold their head high. Notably the new young recruits displayed great fortitude and valour and when we next go into battle we will do so, wiser and stronger. To our leader, Ed I must thank and I entrust to lead our warriors into our next battle, wherever that may be?
