With a new game plan to pick and drive
Our forwards were surely going to get tired, but had to survive…
….A ferocious onslaught of giant twin props
The Bedford team who had spent some time hanging around sweet shops
Some said “give it to the backs, they’ll surely do more”
The coaches, for once right, left it to the forwards to score
Ben Weaver went over first, piling through at least 10 feet
And eight Bedford bodies as he set them up for defeat
The backs didn’t get as much ball as they wanted
But Chris Bell around fringes that were crowded…
….Made optimal decisions and was good for his two scores
That were accompanied by cheers and roars…
…From parents and coaches and supporters galore
Who also roared on Adeola to score
A brace of tries running round many opponents
Playing him at centre was no risk of any selector’s judgements
The final score was just desserts
For a team full of silky skilled experts
And powerful players who didn’t miss tackles
We mention in despatches Jed who took out "big man’s" ankles
Man of the match goes to Chris Bell,
Who, with his comrades, the team did propel
To a deserved victory.
