U7's at Grasshopers Mini Festival

U7's at Grasshopers Mini Festival

Si Warmer8 Nov 2011 - 11:55

Well done to the 10 boys who represented the U7's at Grasshoppers mini festival on Sunday.

Our first match was against Bank of England and we lost narrowly by 5 tries to 3. Considering it was the kids first ever competitive match in a tournament they did fantastically well and were not overawed by the enormous pitch that they had to play on.

Unfortunately the 2nd match against Teddington Antlers ended 6 tries to 2 for Antlers but this was against a very well-drilled team who have played together for a couple of years now.

Not to be demoralised by their first drubbing, the boys picked themselves back up and enjoyed a very competitive and tight match against the hosts, Grasshoppers. This match looked certain to end in a draw until in the dying seconds Nathan collected a spilt ball just inside the opposition half and pinned his ears back to go all the way for the winning try!!

Well done to everyone for taking part and to all the mums and dads for helping on the day.
