Coach Andy Beck 01621 857838 & Pete
Ballenger South Woodham under16s moved a step
closer to dream of winning three successive Essex Cups With
an impressive victory over Brentwood who started the game as
strong favourites.
Things start well for Woodham who due to some sloppy
defending found themselves 2 trys and 10 nil down with only
10 minutes gone ! Brentwood with tails well a truly up
could have gone further ahead if it had not been for some
heroic last ditch tackling. With 25 minutes gone Woodham at
last got into the game Brentwood had a line out on their own
line, the Woodham forwards drove and some how Woodham No8
Liam Power stole the ball and grounded it for a try 10-5 .
Five minutes later Woodham were awarded a penalty up stepped
Tom Solis to coolly slot home 10-8. With the half nearly up
Woodhams purple patch continued, The forwards turned the
ball over in midfield and a sweeping backs move was
finished off under the posts by Billy king , Solis converted
to take Woodham to 15-10 and an unlikely lead . Brentwood
looked shell shocked by this time. 15 minutes into the
second half Woodham went further ahead when fly half Harry
Beck tackled and then stripped the ball from the Brentwood
no 8, Josh Bunn came in off his wing released outside centre
Sevie Hurrell who superbly drew two defenders before
releasing King in for his second. 20-10.
The Woodham pack, well led as ever by captain Alex Calvert
was well and truly on top by now and was able to beat back
the ever more desperate Brentwood attacks, the back row of
Brown Pratt and Power were exceptional And hooker Dye was
giving his opposite number a torrid morning. With 10
minutes to go Solis closed the game out with a further
penalty 23-10
a great allround performance, the semi final next for
woodham
