Malvern U12s vs Tewkesbury U12s – 06/10/13

Today saw Tewkesbury U12s play the first match of the season away to Malvern.

The warm sun must have put Tewkesbury in a good frame of mind as they ran in 18 tries and converted 17 of them over three periods of 20 mins.

Great passing with strong rucking from all provided Tewkesbury with a great first win.

Tewkesbury has 75% of the possession and used this to their advantage.

We are proud of all the boys on such a great performance.

U12’s v Chosen Hill

under12sIt was great to see an increase in numbers of the under 12’s team, we had a full 15 players in our squad, giving us 2 subs for the game against Chosen Hill. Congratulations to the core of the U12 ‘s squad that have stuck with the team over the last few years whilst numbers were low.

Lewis Taylor was the chosen as captain for this game and Chosen Hill took an early lead as Tewkesbury were still pulling up their socks. The Tigers were still asleep as Chosen ran in another try. A few of the Tewkesbury players were playing out of their normal position and it showed. At half time we were down 27 points.

The 2nd half saw a different Tewkesbury side as, 2 players from either side swapped shirts. A quick break saw the ball popped to Max Rendell and he ran from our 22 with a pack of Chosen Hill players chasing. They could not keep up with his pace and scored under the posts and it was converted bring the score to 7 – 27.  One of the Chosen Hill players who was playing for Tewkesbury smashed his way through the Chosen defence to score for Tewkesbury 12 – 27. Towards the end of the 2nd half Max Rendell ran in two more converted trys. Bringing the full time score Tewkesbury 26 v 27 Chosen Hill.

We would like to thank Paddy (Chosen Hill Coach) for refereeing and his team for fair play and sportsmanship. Its what Sunday mornings were made for!

Man of the Match was William, for his vision and being at the right place at the right time, congratulations.

Worcester v U12’s

A cold and frosty morning away at Worcester, there was a debate that the game would not take place on the morning after a pitch inspection. Thankfully big enough and soft enough area of grass was found and a make shift pitch marked up.

The last time we played against Worcester it was a whitewash as we did  not manage to score any points. This time was different, even though we lost the game it shows that the training and dedication of the under 12’s is paying off. They may well be short of numbers, but they more than make up for it in spirit and attitude. At one point in the game we were even ahead of Worcester.

Congratulations to Samuel Harris and Jamie Russell for getting the MOTM awards, keep it up.

Upton v U12’s

Upton 33 v 31 Tewkesbury

4th November 2012

Despite a wet and cold Sunday morning at Upton, all the boys in the U12’s played their hearts out. Fast fluid Rugby, strong tackling and rucking but more importantly the whole team communicated and played as a team. Putting into practice everything that they have learnt during coaching sessions.

There was not a MOTM awarded to anyone as all of the boys deserved it.

There will be training on remembrance Sunday, the boys will be ready for Longlevens at home on the 18/11/2012.
