Anzac Day - Report of the Day

In a rainy day 8 teams played for the trophy. 

There were superbe players and the level of the games were excellent . The tourny was won by Leprotti, followed by Tiki, then Brianza, Geezers Zurich, Italia40, MIlan Park Touchers, Modena, Parkotti.

We won 3 games and lost 2 so the balance of the day is good. We still need to understand which is the structure of the game and find our way. But considering that we have only 3 experienced players. We have to work on the rugby skills of our players and on discipline in defence. and most all in communication. However we played as a team against Geezers and even if we lost game was thight. Well played also with Torino, Modena and Parkotti. Then we were to tired when we played Italia40. but at least we scored a try against 6 male players!   

Memorable: we had two parties at the price of one  and at the evening we had at Fiori Oscur 70 guests out of the touch circuit and this is the most importanti thing.

Thanks to Pietro Ferrari (organization) Pablo de Giosa (Jury Table) Morg Mercier (Graphic of the'event) Cath and Emily Ewen, (design of prizes bags), everybody for the food brought, Berebuonabirra - Via Adige Milano for special Kiwi beer, the Voloounteer from" Protezione Civile, Fiori Oscuri Bar.

Pozzo d'Adda - The vision of Mario

Per quanto riguarda il torneo di POZZO D'ADDA di domenica (dico la mia) a me è piaciuto poichè, pur non avendo mai giocato assieme, c'è stato un netto miglioramento di partita in partita: il che è molto promettente!!

Tutti hanno dato quello che avevano e ognuno si è messo a disposizione della squadra.

Bravi!!!

Molto bello tutto e un'altra cosa che mi è piaciuta e che anche dalle mete subite si possono imparare nuovi trucchetti, nuovi aspetti, nuovi schemi di gioco per migliorare, sempre!!

Buona giornata.

Mario

Monza il giorno dopo/Monza the day after

Tre Park Touchers hanno giocato Sabato nelle file dei Brianza Toucherz il torneo amichevole di Monza, organizzato benissimo dagli amici Tucanò Monza Touch. 

Ottima la prestazione di Jacopo Di Stefano e Morg Morg Mercier che hanno messo a disposizione della squadra le loro qualità rugbistiche. La freccia per loro non ha segreti. 

Da migliorare solo il gioco ai 5 metri che per loro e' una novita'. Tutte le partite sono state vinte, ma soprattutto si é giocato bene per cui complimenti per esordio con il botto! Continuando così ci divertiremo. 

3 touchers played on sat in Monza with Brianza Touchers team. Day was well organised by Tucanò Monza Morg an Jacopo learned well the 3men/woman drive and put their rugby skills. 

Just to improve the 5 meters. Any way all the game were won and well played. Grazie!
