Match Report

Result: 30 (6) - 35 (7) L

What an amazing game to have had the pleasure of refereeing! Unlike previous weeks our U13 started the strongest we have played this season. Some great passing and strong lines of running saw us run in 5 tries in the first half to Witham’s 2. We may have begun celebrations a little early and Witham added another 3 tries through some strong ball carriers that we struggled to deal with. We responded to this well though with a great try through Huxley getting across the white wash to take us in the lead again. Witham came back with another try, the same ball carriers doing the damage, to take us to 6 tries a piece. With an unfortunate scrum that we actually won, the ball squirted out and Witham’s captain quickly reacted and dotted it down. We fought to the end with some great running by Rico but were unfortunately beaten by the full-time whistle. As I started… what an amazing game of rugby by our boys. They should all be as proud of this week's performance. We will go again next week, stronger and more together.
