The season gets underway with a friendly against Viadana, who coincidently are one of our opponents in the European Challenge Cup.

Foe the 2,000 supporters it was a matter of getting to know and recognise the new players. Some being more recognisable than others with Darren Morris who is a huge man and Marcel Garvey from his much vaunted potential as an England Winger

Viadana did not secure the ball and the Warriors were in like a rat up a drainpipe, driving into the visitors defence, which held tight.

After 5 minutes of puffing and posturing the Italians struck back and with their first foray into the Warriors territory forced a penalty for going over the top at a ruck

Viadana 3 : 0 Warriors
