St. Neots Under 9s Mini Rugby Match Report 08.11.09

This week St.Neots under 9s were at home hosting a mini tournament between Olney Rugby Club and Oundle Ruby Club. Jims match summary was spot on this week, not that is never is:
The St. Neots boys started off as a Rabble but ended up at a Rugby team.
The first match saw St. Neots having a nap and gave away two early tries needlessly with poor passing and zero commitment. However things began to improve with St. Neots presenting the ball well on the ground with the forwards beginning to show signs of their understanding of the importance of driving over the ball. The backs also held their lines well and worked hard to find the space, though often were let down by sloppy passes. All in all we saw a much improved side during the later games with the team using their support well. Solid rucking and mauling by the forwards was also looking more uniformed which led to possession being won on more than one occasion. Tackling which in previous matches has been half hearted looked more decisive with the boys gaining confidence, with the help of Bryans vocal chords!!!
All four games were entertaining rugby with close results and with a little more passing play, improved timing of the pass there is no reason why we can not convert these close results into wins.

Jim and Bryan picked out some individual play during the summary whilst man of the match was awarded to Thomas who gave us a champagne moment in the last game. A hard must do tackle 10 yards from our line, was followed by possession, good team passing and a final individual run to the line.
Well done boys....
