MSN vs Combe Down
Weather – Over Cast

Players – Zak, Daniel, Hamish (C), Kieran, Josh, Ben, Samuel, Curtis, Louis & Mackenzie.
This was our last game as U10s, the game began with MSN attacking with great strength and speed, a determined CD responded well. Kieran, Josh and Hamish again led the attacks with great support from Ben and Daniel. It was great game of end to end rugby with MSN scoring three good tries and one fiery response from CD scored by Kieran – the best was yet to come.

2nd game, time for a group huddle, this was our final stand for the season and we weren’t going down without a fight. MSN came out of their blocks slightly quicker than CD, this was again matched with defiance and strength, CD took the lead with Samuel scoring a try in the corner -showing the great improvement he has made over the last year. At half time again the coaches asked for the best 10 minutes of rugby, the team didn’t let us or themselves down – with great tackling by Mackenzie and support by Louis and Curtis, MSN again scored a couple of tries. We then went into the last 5 minutes and saw how rugby should be played as CD camped in the MSN half trying their hardest to win the game with bulldozing runs from Zak, Hamish and Josh but to no avail, final score 2-1 to the home team.

Re the Man of the Match – it goes to you all - Zak, Daniel, Hamish (C), Kieran, Josh, Ben, Samuel, Curtis, Louis & Mackenzie.

I know Lyndon and I would like to thank all the players for a great and fun if not sometimes frustrating season of rugby (e.g. balls being put down over the dead ball line, that final pass going astray) – we hope as the ’New’ U11s we improve as we have done – Enjoy your break and hope to see you all next season.
