Play for your mates. Play for the shirt. Give it everything.
That was the message from coaches Dan and Tom before our lads took to the pitch at Old Cryptians — and they certainly delivered!
Matty and Reuben powered over for some brilliant tries, taking a few defenders along for the ride, while Blake never stopped working across the pitch.
Parker H was chosen by the opposition as their Man of the Match, recognising his tries and the way he supported his teammates. A big well done to Noah too, who joined the action towards the end.
The referee praised the boys’ attitude and listening skills, and the coaches received lovely feedback about how they played and conducted themselves.
There was plenty to celebrate at the Land Rover Cup too, with expansive, physical but respectful rugby — and some of their best saved for the final!
Although the winners’ trophy was reserved for the U12s, our U11s’ performance earned them something very special: a trip to TWICKENHAM for the Prem Cup final!
The coaches couldn’t be prouder of the rugby, the teamwork and the way the boys represented their club. Thank you to the parents and supporters for cheering them on throughout.
Well done, lads — plenty to be proud of!
