’t Gooi’s Director of Rugby Gareth Gilbert spoke to heavensgame about their defeat in round one and their upcoming trip to Utrecht in round two.

’t Gooi had high hopes going into the first match with RC the Dukes, in what was the match of the round they came out tight losers, Gilbert had this to say about the game “The game was closely contested one and one which we believe we should have won after a great start. We were leading 13-3 at the break but to be honest it should have been 20-3 with all the missed opportunities.

Those missed opportunities would cost them dearly, as Gilbert explains “The Dukes came out and dominated the second half and we struggled to implement our plan and the way we wanted to play. We also struggled to understand the referee’s interpretation at the breakdown and conceded 22 penalties to our 2 in the 2nd half. This resulted in a yellow card and that proved to be the difference as the dukes ran in 2 tries to steal victory from us.”
