OB's beaten by well drilled Thornbury

Thornbury played a simple but very effective game, taking it up close to the ruck/maul or up the middle 3 or 4 times, winning quick ruck ball then moving wide. While OB's tackled well, especially around the fringes, Thornbury always managed to get on the front foot, and that momentum sucked in the defence leaving us short out wide. Their speedy back 3 then finished it off.

We managed 3 good tries ourselves, and Thornbury certainly knew they had been in a game. However, they were definitely the better team on the day and deserved their victory
