Loss But Positives

It was a heavily depleted U18’s team due to injury, players from across the border in Bucks being called up to county trials but ON’s battled hard and gave opportunities to practice ahead of the next cup game. For instance England talent development scrum half Rebecca Herring playing at centre with Chloe Ayre slotting in at scrum half. Forward Jeri Munden playing half a game in the backs showed some depth of talent. ON's girls never game up, good progression into 18's rugby from Ciarra, Meg and Ade. Warren and Pil really had the girls motivated as they never once flinched from the task on a lovely hot autumn day. Fact I believe only Ellie was a true U18 on the day so a young side.
