16 Mar Old Albanians
Statman Report – The boys came up against a very well drilled Old Albanians U15A team this weekend. They arrived with a squad only half the size of ours. We did very well to win the first half convincingly 21-7, however, despite valiant efforts in the second half by a completely new set of ARFC players, the final score was 21-40. That is only our third loss this season. We should not be too disappointed – playing better teams like this can only make us stronger.
We scored 3 tries, Edward got the first with a powerful drive to the line, his 3rd for the season. Logan scored the second with an amazing intercept, his 7th, and Finley the third, his 4th, via a classic forwards pick and score from the base of a ruck on their line – all great tries – well done boys! Alex kicked all 3 conversions of which 2 were pretty difficult – Well done Alex you have now kicked 28 conversions in total. There were no assists.
Logan was MOTM again – that’s his third of the season and a super effort. You may not have seen it but Alex picked up a yellow card. Yacine made his debut – well done and welcome to the Family Yacine! Samanyu went to A&E with suspected concussion and Jack suffered a reoccurrence of his knee injury – rest well boys.
We are training for the next 3 Sundays so our next match is on 13 April away against Marlow. We last played Marlow in November in the first round of the Cup. We beat them 51-0. As ever, really looking forward to it! See you then! #COYAs
