WRUFC Development Festival winners
After six years of building a solid following, this year’s Woodbridge Rugby Club Youth Development Festival attracted another huge crowd of an estimated 1250 players and supporters from across the region. The seventh Festival was held at the Club’s grounds on Sunday 11 October with squads from U7 to U12 involved. Firmly established on the annual rugby diary after the success of previous Festivals, Woodbridge Rugby Club, home of the Woodbridge Warriors and Amazons senior men’s and women’s teams, made maximum use of its recently expanded Clubhouse and changing facilities as games continued from 10:30 until 3.30pm
WARRIORS 1XV V THURSTON (HOME)
Match Report
KICK OFF: 2:00 PM LOCATION: IP12 2PP SCORE: 16-10
The Rangers were to take control of the set piece right from the start and put The Warriors under pressure. To their credit, the Warriors took bad ball and made the best of it with probing runs from a back row of Jono Cooke, Nick Woodley and Olly Gray. Unfortunately were couldnt finish some of the excellent phase ball we were generating, but started to frustrate our visitors resulting in penalty kicks at the 12th and 19th minute converted by Warrior captain for the day, Jp Hart. The constant to and fro of the first half was a tussle for ownership of the game with Thurston slotting a penalty of their own in the 30th minute finishing the first half without any tries and a 6-3 scoreboard to the home team.
After the break, Thurston came out on fire and grabbed the first try of the match pushing ahead 6-10 in the third minute. The Warriors adjusted and turned up the heat playing most of the second half deep in the Rangers 22m. Solid defense and turnover ball kept the score the same until Jono Cooke punched through for a strong unconverted try.
It appeared that the constant pressure on the Rangers was taking its toll as the Warriors started to take command of the set pieces and attacking at every chance. A Lineout win in the Warrior half grabbed by Michael Parsley was transferred to Jp Hart who found a gap in the weary defense for a 50m individual sprint for the line and final points of the day.
A fantastic game played by two teams that enjoyed good discipline and sportsmanship throughout.
The Warriors take the win and joint second position in the League into a bye week where the other teams will do their best to gain valuable points.
Woodbridge U15’s – 47, Hadleigh U15’s – 0 Oct 4 2015
A good start to our U15 – 15 a side season, with lots of regular faces and a number of new ones turning out in glorious October sunshine.
Harry, Sam & Sonnie did well for their first run out and will I am sure become regulars in our team. Great to see Tom Aston returning and back on the wing too.
Men of the Match – Louis, awesome display of courage and death defying tackles, (someone please tell Lancaster this is what a flanker is!) and the ever so cool as a cucumber Travis for kicking 6 out of 7 conversions and holding up Hadleigh’s biggest forward to win us a scrum turnover.
Good work to everyone else – major thank you to the boys who played for Hadleigh and ensured we had a game.
