First Game of the Season

We're off again...............first match of the season. Away to Epping Upper Clapton.

The squad was Alfie, Brad, Ellis, Hayden, Katie, Keith, Luca, Mikey, Noah.

New Laws came into play for the U10 age grade, rucking, mauling and uncontested scrums.

The players got straight into it. Some big hits and drives forward. We weren't short of effort, or skill.
At times the ball was there to be played, and Epping were a bit sharper to get to, and contest the breakdown.
This gave them some better ball than we had. They used the ball well and got to the wider channels before us.

We played four quarters and got better each time. Some of the stand out moments were Katie ripping the ball from the Epping players, Luca ( and everyone ! ) making big tackles, Ellis providing go forward and Keith getting over ruck ball.

The referee let play flow, and we got stronger and more confident. The fourth quarter saw us tire against Epping who had almost double our numbers.

Great effort all round, sleep will come easy tonight.
