by | Dec 6, 2015 | Club Info

Today’s game in places showed what Tewkesbury U14s can do with a great displays of running backs rugby. For the majority of the game the forwards dominated in the Scrum and Rucks and ensured Pats were kept in their own half for long periods of the game.. The team all worked hard and deserved the win. Final score was Old Patestians 10 v Tewkesbury 38

Tries : W. Alonso, W.Wallace (2), S.Thomas (2), R.Turner

U12’s v Stow

by | Nov 27, 2015 | Club Info, Under 12's

On a mild and dry morning Tewkesbury hosted a usually strong Stow team . This would not be an easy game but a great warm up ready for the county cup .

First 20 min period .
Stow won the toss and decided to kick off , from the off Tewkesbury attacked Stow with some good running rugby and inter play between backs and forwards , this payed off with an early try . From then on Tewkesbury controlled the game with the forwards winning good ball and the backs passing down the line . This paid off with Tewkesbury running in 4 more good tries and Stow managing 1 of there own which was a lovely run by there scrum half down the blind side from a scrum catching Tewkesbury cold .Period ended 25-5 to Tewkesbury .

2nd period .
Tewkesbury made several changes to the line up but started has they’d left off playing great rugby . Now they turned on the charm and opened up pressuring Stow and giving them no room to play . Tewkesbury now in control ran in 4 more tries before this period ended .

3rd period .
Again Tewkesbury made several changes to the team this how ever did not change the teams desire to win this period . This how ever was not that easy has Stow decided to turn up and pressure Tewkesbury . This made for a tense period with Tewkesbury having to defend for most of the period . But did so with passion and power but Stows pressure did pay off for them to cross the line for a try of there own . Tewkesbury did how ever cross the line for a couple of tries of there own making the end of the game a comfortable 60-10 .

The under 12’s are growing from strength from strength each week and are a great credit to the club . If this keeps up the future of Tewkesbury rugby club is very rosey , unless they all leave to go professional lol .

Full Time – U14s vs Stow on the Wold – 22/11/15

by | Nov 22, 2015 | Club Info

The long drive and the cold morning did not help the lads today. A very frustrating morning for the coaches where the final scoreline does not reflect the effort that the boys put in. The discipline and self control that was shown throughout the game by the boys was a credit to the club.

Tewkesbury scored within seconds of the kickoff . Then the rest of the half can probably be described as three mistakes by Tewkesbury (whilst putting Stow under pressure  in their own half ) and three tries to Stow. At half time the score was 19  – 5. In the second half Tewkesbury had most of the possession dominating in much of the rucking, scrummaging and lineout again putting Stow under a lot of pressure. Eventually Tewkesbury scored a second following a charge down over the Stow line. Stow scored another try before the final whistle was blown.
