Medics return to winning ways

After the disappointment of last weekend's performance against Brighton, Norwich Medics returned to winning ways with a 37 - 22 victory over our host club, Crusaders RFC. Crusaders were particularly strong in the scrum for the first half, and used their pack to very good effect to establish an early lead. A late flurry of tries flatter the Medics in the final scoreline, and I think we are all aware of the areas that we can improve on. The team spirit was excellent though, and the willingness to dig deep in that final quarter and secure the win. There were notable performances from players in unfamiliar positions, such as Chris Bates at scrum-half.
