In the true spirit of rugby they had enough players to lend some to Southampton to make the 2nd xture playable. e teams included a number of players moving up from last year’s Colts. They were the founding members of Fawley’s rst Colts team in a number of years, strengthening the connection between the junior and senior sections of the club with some having joined Fawley as U6’s. Final score for Fawley 1st XV v Hook and Odiham was 41-11, Fawley Centaurs v Southampton 2 5-35. Meanwhile the new season’s Colts saw 27 players travel to the Isle of Wight to play Vectis, a fantastic turn out. Vectis scored rst, but were held o for the remainder of the rst half. In the 2nd half our boys showed determination to score their rst try early on and their con dence grew, resulting in a win with a score of 22-10. A promising start for this year’s Colts making this their third win of the season already. The U13’s hosted several of Hampshire’s nest rugby clubs for a tournament. eir 16 man match squad were winners of a tough group, beating both Andover and Havant. In the cup semi- nal Fawley faced a strong Winchester team, however the boys really stepped up their game, producing a dominant winning performance. Fawley’s nal game was against another Winchester side, a tough rst half where both teams were level with one try a piece. However, some fresh legs on the Winchester side were too strong for the tiring Fawley boys, who proudly nished runners up. Fawley RFC always welcome new players of any age and experience; men, women, girls and boys. Training is held on weekday evenings and Sunday mornings, if you’d like to try it out, contact enquiries@fawleyrfc. co.uk for more information.
