Boston U15s 14 v Kesteven U15s 0
It was always going to be different ! Kesteven fielded a number of county players and from the outset adopted a very aggressive and disruptive, mode of play.
On Tuesday 15th February 2011 , Boston u15's hosted Kesteven for a match played under flood lights ; a first for the Boston team. The Boston team have matured into a close knit group and they responded positively despite some early provocation. Boston tried to play rugby with the centre combination of Ben Warren and Tom Wilson linking well with the fly half , Tom Andrews, mixing straight and strong running, with well considered switch moves, which was good to see. The Boston pack played very well as a unit with the front row of John Peng, Jamie Ward and sam johnson very effective in the scrum and the loose. Harvey Clifton and Charlie Porcher carried the ball well and managed to stop a number of Kesteven attacks. Aaron Evison played again at number 8 and was very effective carrying the ball forward and he combined this with some excellent defensive tackles ; on a number of occasions he emerged from a maul with the ball in hand to lead the forwards on. About fifteen minutes into the first half, scrum half George Needham had the vision to take a penalty kick quickly, tapping and running a fantastic line and then making to perfection , a short blindside pass , which the prop forward John Peng, gratefully accepted at full speed, to the dismay of the defenders. He scored the first try which was converted by fly half Tom Andrews. Kesteven were clearly annoyed and George Needham, Tom Andrews and Ben Warren suffered their wrath. Boston held firm and lovely vision for fly half Tom Andrews saw him produce a kick over the onrushing defenders which centre Tom Wilson ran onto, breaking through two tacklers to score the second Boston try. This was converted by Tom Andrews and at half time Boston led 14 - 0 .
The half time score reflected Boston's considerable team effort. Kesteven were most certainly annoyed at the score line and from the beginning of the second half, the mood of their play reflected this. Boston were forced to defend with numerous tackles being made by Tory Ward and Chris Cook in support of the Boston half backs. The character of the Boston team held firm and from the touch line, it seemed as though Kesteven, one player in particular, were close to melt down , and this was reflected in some excessive tackles and some dubious play. With about fifteen minutes left of what was becoming a fractious contest, Boston winger Tory Ward was sin binned for a high tackle which put Boston under more pressure. The Boston defence was fantastic and every player stood firm. With a few minutes left John Peng was sin binned for a high tackle. The last fifteen minutes of the match were played at a frenetic pace with outstanding commitment which spilled over on the odd occasion, but Boston held firm and won the match 14 - 0.
The victory was the product of a superb team effort and no player shirked out of the way ; so the man of the match choice was very difficult for the team coach. The decision was to have a shared award between George Needham and Ben Warren ; George at scrum half was given a torrid time and was targeted by the opposition and was constantly under pressure but despite extreme provocation , he never gave up ; Ben Warren at centre was also given a working over but he maintained his composure and his commitment and never missed a tackle and always made the correct attacking decision.
