Sunday 29th November 2009 - Away to Richmond RFC
What a morning, heavy rain during the night and very grey, wet and cold in Camberley this morning. The U11’s were still going to Richmond for the triangular with Richmond RFC and Reeds RFC. The U12’s already cancelled, can you believe we are out in this weather and a 9.30am start as well!. Arriving at Richmond RFC the pitches were very wet under foot, but at least it has stopped raining (this lasted for the next two hours, with a bit of sun as well – who would have thought)
Twenty five players turned out for Camberley U11’s, very well done. Tim and the coaches warming them up with some passing drills. This lead to a series of games. The A’s winning their first game 4 – 0 with a lot of cheer from the team. The B’s lost their first game with tries scored from deep, the game was even with our pack doing extremely well, winning most scrums. Let’s practice the tackling!.
The B’s went on to win their next match 2- 1 with a great amount of effort from all the squad (Great support from the sideline). Try from Stuart driving over and a good run by Matthew J for the second. Certainly the better team. Their last game was against London Scottish and you could see there were tired legs out on the pitch. Very even game apart from some good runs from deep by London Scottish that lead to tries. All in all very well done. A great effort by the pack in Stuart, Henry, James J and Miles. A memorable moment in the last game was Matthew J as the last player desperately trying to stop the opposition running in a try, leaping forward and grabbing the runner by the waist slowing the player up, for the remaining players to drive him out into touch. Matthew left lying in the mud after a great tackle (we knew you would get a dirty shirt at some point!)
Tim gathered all the players up at the end to congratulate them on their fantastic efforts today and the turnout of our players for this away fixture. Maybe next week we can order a bit of sunshine!.
Thanks again to Richmond RFC, Reeds RFC and London Scottish.
