U13’s through to semi finals
Matson 20-45 Tewkesbury
Tewkesbury on a very wet cold morning travelled to Matson for there final group 2 county cup match . We win this and we’re in the top 4 group . Matson as expected had some massive lads which put our lads in the pack under pressure. But we held strong on our ball and didn’t give away the ball , Matson did the same easily winning there ball . The difference was Tewkesbury’s backs and the pressure in defence . Second half saw Tewkesbury’s pack starting to get on top as Matson’s forwards tied . Great game great team effort great result .
All players where outstanding , Henry had the best game I’ve seen him play up to yet the other backs Alex, Charlie, Ben, Peachy, Miles and Jack were also brilliant with as always a master class performance from Brendan at full back with Ellis having a great game at scrum half and Sam leading the forwards who themselves worked their socks off to win the ball for the backs .
Trie scorers :- Alex 3, Charlie 2, Miles 1, Ben 2, Brendan 1

Transitional Club Season with County and Regional Recognition
The U18 Girls team have had a successful and enjoyable season. A transitional phase for the team with a large group stepping up from U15s has seen the team develop in stature, skill and success throughout the season.
With a strong pack the development and progression have seen greatest acceleration within the back line making the transition to a more senior and physical grade of rugby with mentoring from the more senior players.
Competing locally and in South West cup competitions the team have competed strongly with close results.
This has been recognised at both County and Regional level with the team well represented in the Gloucestershire U18s squad by Thyrza Peters, Rebecca Wells, Rebecca Pope, Shannon Stroud, Jo Brame, Olivia King, Verity Tipper, Kayley Bidder. I think that’s right Thyrza Peters has also been selected for South West regional squad and England pathway. At a coaching level Amanda Bartlett the U18s head coach has been performing the Team Manager role for the County Ladies Squad.
Overall a successful season leaving a difficult coaching dilemma to select player of the season an most improved player awards for the upcoming club presentation evening.
