Under the heat and adjusting to a larger pitch size, the boys started with erce determination to dominate the rst part of the match. With some fantastic passing and keeping the pressure onto the opposition the rst try was easily scored by Ethan Morton who powered up the pitch, well supported by his team mates. Realising the quality of their opposition, Romsey stepped up to equalise but Fawley continued to work together with some excellent defence tactics by Connor Farrell and Al e Parmenter. e match started to get exciting with another try by each side to bring the match to 4-4. Supporters were kept on the edge of their seats with plenty to play for as the score crept from 5-4 to 6-4 to Romsey with excellent tries from James Walley and Marcus Wilkins from Fawley to keep them in the game. It was all to play for as Ethan Morton scored twice more but the score in the end was 7-5 to Romsey. An excellent start to the season and coach Glenn Jenks was justi ably proud of his young players. With a start like this, the season is looking very promising for this determined squad.
