. . and bump up the crowd and support. London Broncos v London Skolars friendly tomorrow (27 January) at Honourable Artillery Company’s grounds on the City Road, London, EC1Y 2BQ. 2pm KO. £15 and you can buy tickets at the gate. No seating I believe so it is standing room only. The nearest tube is Old Street or Moorgate.

Can't wait, forecast is sunny too.

4-6 after 20 mins

4-12

4-18

You must be there, you're ahead of twitter.

Tries O'C, Caro, Dorn. Conversions Witt.

Half time, still 18-4.

16-18

16-30

16-36

16-42 full time.

Second half tries by O'C (2), Melling and Witt. All converted by Witt apparently.

Skolars tries by Juma, Adebisi and Aggrey. Just one conversion, so 42-14 or 14-42 if you think it was a Skolars home game.

It was a Skolars home game! All a bit worrying, too many dropped passes, penalties given away and out-enthused by the Skolars. Pluses: JOC, Rinaldi, Clubb and Dixon who is a real live wire. Witt is an excellent kicker and Gower looked tidy. Rodney and Kaufusi looked good in spells too.

Caro seems to have grown 30% too.

Pretty much sums it up. I'll post some photos if I can remain logged in...

Took nothing much out of today

Clubb went well at 13 in the first half, Gower looked good at 7, Witt a little rust (very good kicker), Kaufusi big hard hitter, Rodney was poor (couldn't catch a cold. I hope he is not another Nick the Greek)

Gower led the team out(is he the new Capt)

Agree with him but Rodney is my new favourite player. A couple of errors are forgiveable, looked dangerous with ball in hand. A new Luke Williamson but much more assured.

I hope Gower is the captain. we need someone who can tell them where we are going wrong and put it right. Never felt the previous captain did that.

Gower is always captain material and have said this a few times in my short time here that he will be an inspiration to a lot of the players in the team with his vast experience in both codes. He would be my No.1 choice as captain. Looking at the photos I took I have one of the pep talk after Skolars scored their 1st half try, and it was Gower who took them into the huddle for a team talk. Anyone take any more snaps? Anyone like the photos posted?

Interestingly there were almost infinite substitutions until I read the programme (did anyone else buy one? Made by the Skolars club so kudos to them) which stated that each team could change as much as necessary for this friendly.
