Wheatley second string took to the field with loosing to demonstrate they are more than a competitive match for the table toppers Gosford,
With the Oxfordshire Referees Society deeming the game not important enough to send a Ref Gosford and Wheatley's twitter appeal did the trick with a long and disguised list of volunteers coming to the rescue Wheatley opted for the ever dependable Phil Butler to take the Whistle.
Wheatley heavy legged from the uncustomary warm up too a few minutes to settle gifting Gosford an early try, thereafter Wheatley began to find there rhythm moving the ball around at every opportunity,
After some well structured phases the home team crossed the line with Geoff Ward heard saying if only the first team could execute with such precision James Butler the crashing over, with Aaron having to adjust to a actual kicking tee his conversion falling wide.
Wheatley were now in control of everything except the refs interpretation of most laws! continued to grow into the game the scrum was functioning well with Tam offering plenty of pace from the base and able to set Rory free, breaking several tackles Rory found Jordan who was able step his way over for Wheatley's second, Laman converting 12-7
Wheatley now playing with confidence were opting against kicking the ball instead stretching their legs at every opportunity this was causing the visitors all kinds of problems and it wasn't long before Moose was over in the corner with Aaron now zeroed in adding the extra 2 19-7
The second half wasn't a fruitful for Wheatley but they were able to demonstrate some great work in defence and how to remain patient with the official! (well almost)
Gosford did pull one back with Wheatley not reacting to the quick tap and go. 19-12.
A great game all round good to see Atul getting involved with the senior sides and the clubs youngest player on the field with the clubs oldest!
Man of the match Rory
DOD Moose for butchering a try in the corner
Well done the Mighty 2's on ward and up ward
