Newent v U10’s

by Tewkesbury RFC | Nov 25, 2013 | Club Info, Under 10's

Tewkesbury tigers under 10’s travelled away to meet a team they’d not come across before and without three influential players which included the twins Miles and Mason (who were away on international duties helping Ireland out and showing them how to play).

Tewkesbury 35 – 0 Newent

Tewkesbury fielded a good side to start; this hopefully would soften the Newent team up for the next Tewkesbury side and see what there made off. Tewkesbury from the off sent in there big forwards Joe G an co only for Newent to shy away from making the tackle and Joe to bullock his way over for an early try . This however wasn’t what Tewkesbury needed as they then started to play more as individuals than as they usually do as a team. From the kick off Newent ran at Tewkesbury but where repelled back and as Tewkesbury drove over the ball they shipped it to Joe G again who drove to the line only to be held up but throw his stubbornness would not give up and eventually got over the line to score again. The game was played out the same Newent ran at Tewkesbury only to be repelled back, Tewkesbury did however through Charlie K play some good rugby with a show and go and even a switch or two making space for Brendon l to use his speed and his lovely step to score four tries. As the game went on henry e rounded off the score with a try in the corner.

Tewkesbury 0 – 25 Newent

Tewkesbury put out a new team but early mistakes and some sloppy tackling gave Newent the upper hand and has the game went Newent grow in confidence and Tewkesbury lost there’s. Newent ran in five tries as Tewkesbury faded . Dan l and Harvey m lead from the front with Dan l tackling his heart out and Harvey m making some great runs throw the heart of the Newent defence. The team just lacked a leader to step up and take control but the kids tried their hearts out well done.

Tewkesbury 15-5 Newent

This was a short game as Newent fielded a small squad and after the last defeat wanted to settle the score . Once again they started by sending in the big lads but this time they moved the ball around the pitch but with Newent having their heads up still from the last game did not find it easy . Henry e managed to find himself in amongst the backs a couple of times to run in two tries . But Newent responded well and with henry doing well going forward found himself wanting on this occasion and fell off the tackle to let Newent score a try of their own . This how ever gave Tewkesbury a kick up the arse and with the players driving forward made space for Joe G to cross the line twice only for one to count and one to be ruled out(held up).

Tewkesbury 0-15 Newent

Tewkesbury put on a new team again but once again players fell off to many tackles to compete and did not support each other well enough to stop Newent from running in three tries and ending the encounter on a winning note.

All the kids from both clubs played well and showed some good aggressive running.

U10’s V Evesham

by Tewkesbury RFC | Nov 5, 2013 | Club Info, Under 10's

Tewkesbury tigers under 10’s hosted another local rival Evesham. This team always puts on a great display and makes for a tough challenge.

Tewkesbury bengals 20-0 Evesham
Tewkesbury won the toss and opted to kick off on this lovely bright morning and as always set there stall out early on by direct running and aggressive defending. The first few minuets where a great arm wrestle between the teams as they both tried to get the upper hand on each other, but Tewkesbury took there chances better and shipped the ball down the line to find there speedster Brendon who with a lot of work to do still rounded a couple of Evesham’s players tight to the line to go over for a try. Evesham from kick off sent there big guns in only to be drove back by Tewkesbury who once again moved the ball down the line driving forward and popping the ball around moving the Evesham players around the field to make room for henry to find a gap and out pace the opposition to score Tewkesbury’s 2nd. Again Evesham came at Tewkesbury but again Tewkesbury defended with all there might and won a great ball for Sean to go over the line for there 3rd. Big Joe finished off Evesham with a mighty run to bully his way over Evesham’s line and finish off the game.

Tewkesbury siberians 0-20 Evesham
Tewkesbury fielded a good side in this contest but could not continue there form from last week as an aggressive well drilled Evesham team pressed Tewkesbury into mistake after mistake and with Tewkesbury in a bit of confusion and shell shock ran in 4 tries to win the game, Tewkesbury fell off to many tackles and got isolated to many times but showed great grit and determination in this game.

Tewkesbury siberians 0-25 Evesham
Tewkesbury fielded the same side to play the next game but could not step up there game even with the senior players putting in great individual displays and this was the problem as Evesham imposed them selves in this game the senior players got more frustrated and tried to do to much on there own and forgot the basics but this is a learning curve for them and hopefully will come back stronger. All players can hold there heads up high well done .

Tewkesbury bengals 20-0 Evesham
Tewkesbury after watching there team mates lose to Evesham where in no mood to follow them and wanted to even the the score and they did. Time after time Evesham came at them with no avail . But on the other hand every time Tewkesbury had the ball they looked like scoring and with Charlie running the show and directing his troops and big Joe driving forward Tewkesbury wore Evesham out. Brendon ran in 2 lovely tries turning the opposition in and out with Jack diving on a loose ball to score his try and big Joe powering over again to add to his tally. Well done to the bengals for shutting out Evesham and keeping a clean sheet on both games .
