💚🤍🎉SAFETY SECURED - THAT'S A BONUS!🎉🥊❤️ After a season of scrapping for their lives, @Waterloo1st needed just 1 point against @ValeofLuneRUFC to avoid relegation. Joe Stuart scored their 4th try of the game to secure a bonus point and ensure safety! 🎉🏉😎

🟢🏉🙋‍♂️💯🆙🙋‍♂️⚪️🔴 @Waterloo1st 3XV send the scoreboard into the extended column! 🎉 An individual try brings up three figures during an imperious display at The Memorial Ground! A valiant @OrmskirkRugby 2XV simply had no answer on the day!

📅ON THIS DAY📅 1⃣ Year Ago! 🏉 Strange to think that this was a year ago, @Waterloo1st! A great individual moment to end a game under the highest of pressure! Preserving the "undefeated at home" status right at the death! Never get tired of seeing this! youtu.be/_6uABm1-198

🟢🏉🧨SANDBACH DISPATCHED IN THE LATE SHOW!🧨⚪️🔴 Having let a lead slip away in the second half, @Waterloo1st snatch victory against @SandbachRUFC! James Ratcliffe converting a late penalty to give the hosts the lead, before solid game management secures a crucial league win!

🟢🏉🚄THE UNSTOPPABLE FORCE!🚄⚪️🔴 Early on in @Waterloo1st 1XV's game against @SandbachRUFC, the underdog hosts get on the board first. A powerful driving maul concludes with Kurt Riley hitting the deck and breaking the deadlock! ⚡️

🟢🏉⚠️PRESSURE ON, THEN POUNCE!⚠️⚪️🔴 On a day where @SandbachRUFC brought two teams to the Memorial Ground (when they eventually turned up), @Waterloo1st 2XV put the visitors 3XV on the back foot! Dan Dewhurst pouncing on a defensive error to set the hosts on the way to a win!

🟢🏉🏃‍♂️THE START OF DREAMS!🏃‍♂️⚪️🔴 @Waterloo1st 2XV get off to the perfect start in their NOWIRUL D2 match against @MARPLERUGBYCLUB, a lovely running try to get the lead in the first minute! They wouldn't look back, going on to secure the win!

🔦🏉NIGHT-LIGHT ROBBERY!🏉👮 From a referee that had a poor showing all round, having awarded @Waterloo1st 3XV an advantage for offside @Anselmians1947 3XV, he then proceeds to call the advantage back as the hosts were scoring a try! An egregious Friday Night Lights #robbery!

We would like to wish all our club members, players, coaches, volunteers, parents, sponsors and our rugby community a very merry Christmas from everyone at Firwood Waterloo FC 🎄🎅🏽 🔴⚪️🟢
