Away to Broad Plain

An enjoyable morning’s rugby at Broad Plain saw the home side come out on top in

this very even contest.

Broad Plain started the brightest and following competitive play by both teams it was

the home side that went over in the corner following a good passing move along the

line. They doubled their lead following the kick off, the ball falling loose and Broad

Plain picked up to push their way over to make it 10-0 at the end of the first quarter.

With Lewis unavailable, Callum switched to scrum half and with Nikolas and Leo

in the second row Frampton were still in the game. After a kick from Broad Plain,

George’s catch and great run led him well inside the Broad Plain half, Jamie carried

the ball forward and then with a neat pass back through his legs saw Matthew pick

up and run inside before a clever dummy gave him the space to run to the line for an

excellent score.

Shortly after Jamie ran over the Broad Plain try line but had put a foot in touch and

following the lineout Broad Plain ran clear to score again making it 15-5.

The third quarter saw no let up in commitment and a crunching tackle by George

on the Frampton try line saved a certain score. From the resulting lineout Broad

Plain moved the ball wide and despite some great tackling by Jack they forced the

ball over to score. Straight from the kick off however Fram chased the ball down

and Gabriel picked up and pushed his way over in typical style for a great score.

With their heads up, Fram were on a roll and nearly went over for another score

but George was pushed out of play right in the corner. The same player went over

shortly after but again had put a foot out, however this time from the lineout it was

Jamie that picked up the ball and after some impressive juggling went over to score

to narrow the gap to 20-15.

The fourth quarter started brightly and after a great interception from Nikolas, he ran

clear but was called back for a slight knock on resulting in a scrum down. Marcus

caught a great catch with a high spinning ball and some great tackling from Charlie

and Finn always meant it was going to be close. With Ollie covering the wing it was

nip and tuck however it was Broad Plain who made the breakthrough though with the

final score of the day with a good passing move. Fram played the final few minutes

with 11 men as Jamie went off injured.

A very big thank you to all who attended today and well done to the boys for a great

performance.
