Finally, a game in the sunshine! And a convincing win
After weeks of postponed matches due to the weather, the U11s finally played - this time at home to Bromyard
The sun shone down on the Rhinos today as they faced a great side in Bromyard.
The match was evenly matched with both teams having the breaks and putting the hard work in.
However Bromyard just could not break through the Rhinos' defence, who stopped any break for the line with tackle after tackle.
The first game saw the boys rewarded with a try after concerted pressure on the Bromyard line. Try by Toby Mansell, converted by Dan Washington.
This was followed by a try from Ryan Danes, and a conversion from Matt Moseley.
The second half was a much closer fought game, however Rhinos newcomer managed to break for the line to score his very first try in his very first match!
The try was converted by Matt Moseley.
The second game continued in much the same vein, but again Bromyard couldn't break the Rhinos defence and the game ended with 3 tries and 3 conversions to the Rhinos. Tries from Matt Mosley and Toby Hill.
The day ended with a shorter 3rd game and a try from Toby Mansell, converted by Dan Washington.
Final score 49-0, which which does belie a closely fought and great game of rugby.
