U8s Essex Festival

It was tantalizingly close for the U8s team at the Essex festival at the weekend, some absolutely superb play across the board, impossible to single any one player out, they fell agonizingly short by a single try to Upminster in the final.
There was however some outstanding play in the pool games with trys galore (one game was won 10 - 1) and most satisfying from the coaches perspective was the excellent defence with numerous 7 tag turnovers, the defensive line was up quickly and maintained a good spread across the pitch, never giving up on the tag, one turnover was won with the opposition barely getting out of their own half.
The whole team can be justifiably proud of their achievements at the weekend, the coaches are extremely proud of them
