22/11/09 South Woodham Ferrers RFC Under 10s v Southend.

South Woodham Under 10s visited Southend RFC this Sunday. In the first game, South Woodham started brightly. Joe went on a charging run and, determined that the move would not break down, produced a well-timed pass to enable Daniel to cross for the first try. Southend took advantage of some missed tackles to equalise before William J scampered down the right wing to regain the lead with a spectacular solo effort. Southend pulled level again, only for Joe to cross for a deserved try following a good run by Callum S and clever link play by Callum W. Callum W then scored after a trademark break to extend the lead. Southend scored again, but South Woodham held on to win the opening game 20-15.

In the second game, South Woodham again started well, with Nathan ripping the ball in the tackle and running in to open the scoring. Southend hit back with 2 tries of their own to lead at half-time. South Woodham continued to defend tenaciously and looked dangerous with ball in hand. However, Southend were dominant at the set piece and South Woodham struggled to put together attacking phases. Southend ran in a further brace to finish the game 20-5 winners.

The final game enabled both clubs to give some of their less experienced players a game. Again, South Woodham struck first. Jack M made a determined break and Henry V took the ball on to open the scoring. William J then added a second. Southend again hit back, but William J ran in another long range effort. Southend responded with 2 tries of their own, despite heroic defending, with Jack M to the fore and Alex and Mitchell putting in memorable hits. A darting run from Jack S regained the lead, before Southend struck twice to take the lead for the first time in the game. With time running out, JJ charged down the left wing to score an equalising try, the game ending 25-25.


15/11/09 South Woodham Ferrers RFC Under 10s v Stanford le Hope.

Heavy rain made way for bright skies as South Woodham entertained Stanford le Hope. Both sides agreed to play their more experienced players in their first match. In one of the most exciting and fiercely fought games this season, both teams excelled, seeking to play expansive, attacking rugby, while being committed and resolute in defence. The breakdown was keenly contested with both defences forcing a number of turnovers. Nevertheless, South Woodham opened the scoring with Nathan flying down the wing to touch down. The game continued to ebb and flow, until Stanford took advantage of a couple of rare missed tackles to equalise prior to half time. The second half continued in a similar vein. South Woodham almost broke the stalemate when Lee crossed the line after an effective maul, only for courageous defence to hold the ball up. In the end a draw was a fair result.

In the second game, both teams rang the changes. Stanford took advantage of some circumspect defence to run in an early try. South Woodham raised their game, competing well in the tackle area and looking to attack the Stanford try line. However Stanford ran in a further 2 tries to take a commanding lead at half time. The second half was a different story, and Callum W. ran in 3 unanswered tries to gain a creditable draw. Well done to all the players today.
