Rams are stung by the Scorpions
Thursday, May 17, 2012 at 10:07PM The Huddersfield Rams Aussie Rules Football Team fell to defeat away against the Nottingham Scorpions in Round Two of the AFL Central and North England League, going down 149 – 40.
Nottingham and Huddersfield clashed in last season’s Premiership final, with Nottingham edging a tight game.
The Rams fielded a vastly inexperienced side with no rotations. Three players made their debuts.
Debutant Cameron Brannan top scored with a Hat-trick in his first ever senior game. Brannan was also the Rams’ “Best on Ground”. Captain Jason Battye scored the Rams’ other goal.
The Rams are next in action in two weeks time when they play Birmingham Bears and Manchester Mosquitoes in a double header in Manchester.
Captain Jason Battye- “The Rams squad is suffering from a number of long term injuries and work commitments which sees eight players missing from last season’s Premiership final squad. However new players are taking up the sport weekly and are being bitten by the Aussie Rules so I’m confident that we will turn things around and become a strong competitive force once again.”
Rams Team & Goals: M Evans, A Brown, M Whiteley, S Gill, J Battye (1), C Brannan (Debut, 3), J White (Debut), L Booth (2), G Bickerdike (Debut)
Best on Ground Votes: Brannan 3, Bickerdike 2, Battye 1
