As we head into December our younger players are still giving it their all out on the rugby pitch. Read on for some weekend highlights from our Minis, Juniors and Ravens:
Under 6s | Lola
Congratulations to our amazing player of the day, Lola! Lola was a superstar on the rugby field today, scoring lots of tries and running non-stop. Her speed made it hard for anyone to keep up with her, and she played with a big smile the whole time. Keep having fun and showing your awesome skills Lola.
Under 7s | Barney
Lots of energy shown by the kids today, quite possibly fuelled by their first advent chocolate of the season! Support play and passing were highlights today. The player of the week was Barney who got lots of tags and ran hard in attack.
Under 8s | Oscar
Player of the week for U8s was Oscar for good team work. Excellent passing and running!
Under 9s | Saxon
Saxon returned to rugby after a couple of years not playing. He followed coaches instructions well during skills training, and implemented these during the matches.
He didn’t shy away from contact, making some really good tackles, and scoring a couple of great tries. Well done Saxon, keep it up.
Under 10s | Jack & Laeton
Jack was our player of the week with great direct powerful running straightening the line several times. He also showed great strength and technique when rucking one on one.
Laeton with numerous big shots and a try saving tackle when the player looked to be away was well deserving of tackler of the week!
Under 11s | Henry & Fintan
Special mention to Henry who got player of the week for some great work in both defence and attack! Tackle of the week went to Fintan who’s really been focusing on his tackling and it really paid off today with some powerful try saving tackles!!
Under 12s | Janco
This weeks player of the week for Under 12's went to Janco, who had some great carries of the ball, breaking the line and showed a massive improvement on his ball handling skills. Good work Janco!
Ravens Under 14s | Social
The U14s didn't have a game, so we decided to have a social get-together instead. We headed to South Cerney for some quality (and some slightly less than quality) ice skating at the Gateway Centre.
After some tough games in recent weeks, it was a great event to chill, relax and have a good laugh together. The experienced skaters were helping the novices around the ice, and by the end of our session, everyone was gliding around the rink, and despite a few slips, slides, wobbles, and a few soggy bottoms, we all had a blast on the ice.
Under 13s | Ari & Cobey
Two players of the week for the U13s against Chippenham as we played two games. Ari and Cobey shared Rufus the mascot. Ari scored tries through strong and determined running. Cobey stood out for effort and application in a tough game.
Under 14s | Seb & Daniel
Players of the week went to Seb and Daniel.
Seb for his endless energy around the park, broke the line several times and was dominant in his tackling.
Daniel for two try saving tackles in the first half. His most confident performance for us yet.
Under 16s | George
George along with his fellow forwards dominated the set piece play. In doing so, he helped to provide the structure for the backs to launch their devastating runs in a comprehensive win over Warminster. A leader on the field and an influential player, George is today’s MoM.
