The first game of 2018 was against Romford at home. We had a squad comprising of Alfie, Brad, Hayden, Keith, Logan, Luca, Mikey, Noah, Ollie, Reighley, and Thea.
The squad split into a 6 and 5, and played 5-a-side against a much improved Romford side.
The matches were fast and furious with both teams proving that they now had grasped the art of running direct with the ball in hand. Woodham's support play and pop passing proving the difference at times. It was nice for all to hear the Romford coach and parent's that one of Woodham's tries was the best rugby they had seen at U8's.
Defensively both teams struggled to match the swerving and dodging of the attacking players to get in the tackles they needed. Offside at the high pace of play was a given from both teams.
Plenty of rosy cheeks with the amount of running that was done. Good to see the amount of effort and support play put in by each player on the day.
A big thanks to Dan Watson and McAllister Group for sponsoring the team tops.
