Match Report

U11

Result:  Won

On a cold afternoon at home we played hosts to a 7 man Minster side. In the first half we scored a number of tries with strong running from Edward R, Beau and Gio after taking clean catches from the kick offs. At half time we talked about trying to make five passes before looking to score a try - this was to encourage looking to move the ball quickly and involving every player which was a great success seeing all the boys being involved in two tries. George C and Paul both scored tries in a second half which also saw Paul sportingly playing for Minster while they had an injury. In a very one sided game it was great to see the boys commitment right to the very end and not wanting to concede. Two great tackles by George P on the 5m line stopping certain tries and another with Gio’s help. Well done!

U10

Result: Won 13-9

We hosted Lincoln Minster on a very cold afternoon where the boys did really well to keep going despite the cold hands.  We played 7-a-side as Minster only had 7 boys, but this led to more space on the pitch and lots of tries for both teams. We played some good attacking rugby with more passing than I had seen in earlier games. The try of the match was a lovely run from William B and a pass to Charles who scored in the corner. The tackling was generally good and I was pleased that the boys were getting ‘lower’ in the tackle. Further tries from Vinnie, Ralph, Harvey and a couple from George on his birthday gave us quite a comfortable 13-9 win. Well done to the team….2 games left!
