Fawley RFC Junior’s Take Part in New Forest Tri-series by Nathan Jones Sunday 5th March saw Fordingbridge host fantastic New Forest triseries friendly matches, with Tottonians and Fawley RFC taking part with age groups from the U6’s through to the U11’s. All age groups had a fabulous time, with Fawley holding their own in the matches with a special mention to Bertie Cole who stepped up for Fawley to bravely represent U6’s all by himself! e U7-U8’s team really enjoyed the event and the U9’s had a fantastic mini tournament with excellent teamwork, tackling and passing. All players rose to the occasion and did themselves and Fawley proud. ey all le with high spirits and hopes for their next festival. e Fawley U10’s squad is slowly growing size and is always on the lookout for Year 5 players. It was great to see this team bonding together , with Bertie, Jack, and Finley scoring during the event and extra kudos must be given to Daniel Weaver who was only in his second week of rugby! e U11’s turned up with a strong set of 12 boys. It was probably the most all-round team performance that the coaches and parents have seen. e boys are seeing the bene t of working hard in the training sessions. What made the performance so special was seeing the newer players get stuck in all aspects of the game and have fun. One of the opposition coaches called out Fawley’s intensity and o oading, as a credit to the boys. Our trio of speedsters (Elyan Smith, Sam Archibald, Oliver Chalk) were joined by Ted Davis and Noah Oakley in showing a clean set of heels. Other players who made their mark included Jamie who was at his powerful best and dependable but dangerous Archie Rangecro and Harrison Jones, who put in their usual high work rate and also managed to score a few tries in attack. It is always hard to single out a single player of the day, but Finley Denson having only just started rugby in January was a star in the making. All in all, it was a great morning played with a high degree of respect for the referee and the opposing teams. Fawley Coach Nathan Jones would like to extend a special thank you to the Fawley families for making the trip and bringing their brilliant support as well as to Ed Murphy the Fordingbridge coach for the organisation. e U10s and 11s especially enjoyed the fantastic grounds of Forres Sandle Manor School and whilst the new Fawley clubhouse won’t quite come up to the imposing surroundings at Fordingbridge, they are looking forward to a permanent home, nonetheless. As always, if you or anyone you know would like to join Fawley RFC there is still time before the end of the season to come along to our pitches at Gang Warily and nd out what rugby is all about. Please come down and see us on Sunday mornings or email: juniorchair@fawleyrfc.co.uk for more information on joining, times, sponsorship and more.
