Match Report

The boys were split into two mixed ability teams today (Wasps and Tigers) and with many away at cross-country, there were no substitutes for either side.

Wasps enjoyed a very even match and although it took us a while to make our first score, we worked our way into the game, initially by restricting their most dangerous player, then by stringing together some quick passes. Our support play was impressive and tries were scored in the main by William B, Hugo H-S and George G. However, Joseph F-S and Freddie H both contributed with spectacular tries after mazy runs. Barnes N, the only other Year 3 in the team was instrumental in slowing opposition attacks with some sharp tagging. 

Tigers were a man down against Ayscoughfee but nevertheless played five against six. Harvey K was captain and lead by example scoring a number of breakaway tries and also made some excellent tackles. After the 10 minute break Otto, Jonty and Bertie, inspired by Harvey’s efforts, also made effective tackles and all of them scored tries by half time. We continued our good progress in the second half and eventually won a very high scoring game. Well done boys!
