Navy u23s returned this weekend, after their defeat at Havant, hoping to secure their first win of the season. In a game, played under unusual circumstances, which saw Bristol University putting out an entirely new squad at half time, the boys in blue didn’t shy away from the challenge.
The first half was a back and forth affair, with neither side getting the upper hand. The Navy u23s had clearly improved on their last outing, and seemed far more comfortable going through the phases. There were several attacking opportunities for the Navy u23s, deep in the opposition 22, however they kept coming up short.
The end of the first half was drawing near and it looked like ...
