U14 rugby match reports


Game 2 - Bintang

The second day of rugby was also a great day for the under 14s. Despite the early start, we were all pumped and ready to go. The under 14 a's were up straight after a good win for the under 16s. Following that result, after a scoreless first half the Bintang defence was finally broken when Ollie smashed through and scored. After that, their defence started tiring and we scored twice more including a great team try finished by Issam. Next, the B team were up and it didn't start well when they scored under the posts but their kicker failed to convert. Then we started to play well with tries from Harry and Saif in the first half. In the second half we played excellent rugby and we were rewarded with a quick sucession of tries from Chris, Oisin, Saif and Mattie among others and Oisin kept the scoreboard ticking over with his accurate kicking. 

The second round of games were not as one sided although both teams did still win. The A team's game was a good, close affair where they lead 10-0 at half time thanks to two tries from Ollie but it could have been more. In the second half they came back with an unconverted try to ensure a nervy ending to the game which was made worse when Frazer got yellow carded but thankfully we held on to the lead. Then the B's came on making sure that we weren't over confident after our big win. This time we started better, scoring the first try. We were three tries to the good when they pulled one back right before half time but we quickly ended any hope they had of a comeback with further tries by Chris, Scott and Oisin. 

Overall it was a good day of rugby by both teams and we came out with a 100% record for the day.
