Under 12s Home to Canvey

Happy New Year and the under 12s were back on form today. With an almost full squad (apart from an injured Josh), they seemed raring to go, including a debut from our newest player, James. Jack C was quick to get into the rucking as Jack B was to tackle. Scrum to Woodham and with a beautiful kick from Byron, Charlie appeared from nowhere to pick it up and score the first try. Alfie showed good running speed and great tackling determination, showing that the team seemed in good spirits today.

Canvey hit back quickly, scoring to make it equal. Dan made a good drive and continued his excellent scrum half skills from 2019. Will completed some timely crunching tackles today. Felix was on form with great rips and forward drives, offloading to Jake to gain ground. Our second try was scored again by Charlie, before some lovely consistent passing from Jack C to Byron who ran in the third try. Byron stunned everyone today with impressive tackles, rucks and kicks. Half time score 3-1.

Canvey struck back quickly after half time to make it 3-2. Tom was incredibly instrumental in every scrum today, securing almost every ball. Canvey then made it all square. Byron scored Woodham’s fourth. Charlie prevented Canvey from equalising again by holding up the ball on their try line – a fantastic tackle. The final try of the game was scored by Byron from another successful scrum.

Final score 5-3. A fantastic score to begin the new year.
