County Festival – 14th April 2013

by | Apr 14, 2013 | Club Info, Under 11's

Another great day at the County Cup for Tewkesbury RFC U11s

Pool A

Tewkesbury 10 v Old Richians 5
Tewkesbury 0 v Old Patesians 10
Tewkesbury 0 v Cinderford 30

The results provided Tewkesbury with a place in the Plate Quarter Finals against Spartans. Tewkesbury spent the majority of the match camped in their half but the score was 0 – 0 and Spartans went through on try countback.

The boys tried their hardest and I was a proud coach as once again they showed great determination and never gave up.

Well done boys.

Land Rover Cup Cirencester – 7th April 2013

by | Apr 7, 2013 | Club Info, Under 11's

Today saw Tewkesbury Under 11s take part in the Land Rover Cup at Rendcomb in Cirencester.

Tewkesbury were probably involved in  the toughest group with Cinderford, Clifton and Cirencester being the other teams involved.

It was going to be hard and another tough day with seven of our squad unavailable.

Our first game was against a strong Cinderford side. However a lot of the first half saw Tewkesbury match Cinderford and hold them  until just before half time when quick hands saw them score. The second half was a different story seeing Tewkesbury miss a lot of tackles and Cinderford score three tries.

Our second game would be against easier opposition in Cirencester and Tewkesbury didn’t disappoint starting strongly and showing they were capable of playing some quality Rugby. Four tries were scored by B.Roberts, S.Thomas, T.Leggett and E.Perry.

This left the boys going into the Third Game against Clifton pretty upbeat but this was always going to be a tough game. Clifton were too strong and scored three tries unopposed.

Tewkesbury 0 – Cinderford 20

Tewkesbury 20 – Cirencester 0

Tewkesbury 0 – Clifton 15

It was not a surprise to see the two teams who beat us fight it out in the final for the Cup. Well done to Cinderford who eventually came out on top as winners.

Hopefully with a full squad next week we will provide better results as we go to the rearranged County Festival at Cirencester.

Evesham Mini Rugby Festival – Under 11s

by | Mar 10, 2013 | Club Info

Today saw Tewkesbury Under 11s take part in the Mini Festival at Evesham

There was one pool with three other teams Bredon, Upton/Malvern and Evesham.

This was always going to be a tough day with six of our squad unavailable due to illness and other commitments. Many of those who were playing had been ill during the week.

Our first game was against a strong Bredon side who through excellent flowing rugby put four tries in against Tewkesbury before they were awake. Tewkesbury were not playing like normal which was frustrating for all who watched. Poor tackling and poor rucking from Tewkesbury also allowed  Bredon to go into half time 4-0 up. Tewkesbury rallied a little in the second half playing much better rugby, stronger in the rucks / scrums and putting more pressure on Bredon slowing them down and causing them to make mistakes. Bredon only scored one try in the second half and won 5-0. Well done to Bredon who as a very strong outfit  went  unbeaten on the day to win the Cup.

Our second game seemed that it would be against easier opposition in Upton/Malvern, but once again Tewkesbury started very slowly most unlike them and  not like what we have seen in previous games throughout the season. Upton scored two tries  in the first half. Tewkesbury again rallied in the second half scoring through J.Carter. Tewkesbury also went over the line twice after that but only to find the referees decision was that the ball was held up. The final score was 2 – 1 to Upton/Malvern.

This left the boys going into the Third Game against Evesham pretty down but they were rewarded with two tries from a much better performance all round.Much to the delight of the coaches and parents! The try scorers in this game were A.Newing and J. Brinn.

The final positions in the pool saw Bredon and Upton play in the Final for the cup and Tewkesbury and Evesham play again in the Final for the plate.

The plate final saw Tewkesbury start to play the rugby we are all used to, with strong tackling, rucking, scrummaging and quick passing along the line. The boys were rewarded with 5 tries from N.Knight, B. Roberts, O. Osbourne, E.Perry and S.Thomas. Tewkesbury won 5-0.

Tewkesbury left the festival as plate winners.

A big thank you to all at Evesham RFC who had obviously worked really hard to organise this event.

Hopefully the boys will hit the ground running earlier next week as we go to the County Festival at Cirencester.
