Cobham Festival

Semi Final

A bit of rain didn’t but the team off, the first game against Sutton and Epsom was 0 – 0, although this doesn’t really tell the whole story they only came into our half a few times throughout the match and we were unlucky not score. With the ball going wide, and some big tackles going in when we were defending.

The second game against Cobham we lost 20 – 0 we still played well and put them under pressure throughout the game.

This put us into our first semi final where we met Brighton, a well drilled team, although the team battled well we lost by 25 – 0, over all it was a great festival, plenty of good rugby seen.

Wimbledon B

Wow! What a great start to the season the first tournament for the B’s and it was brilliant. Some of the squad had never played in a match before and the team did themselves proud.

Not only did we try and run attacks at any opportunity, we were trying to drive over the line with some fantastic mauling.  The defence was pretty solid the whole team tracking back and making those big tackles.

In the end we lost to Chobham 3 – 1, we beat Richmond 8 – 1, we drew with Esher 2 -2 and in the final game against Guildford we lost 4 – 0

A great day loads of enthusiasm, excellent rugby and loads of fun too!

Camberley Festival

A great day had by all ! (Although it was a long day) Both teams played some great rugby with lots of driving forward, good running lines, slick passing, superb support play and not forgetting the awesome tackling.

If the results matter the A’s lost all their matches and The B’s drew with Windsor and then lost their other games.

Too many positives to list but mainly our squad played some great rugby and had FUN doing it!

Dorking away

A great training day, the sun was shining and the ground wet and muddy, perfect for everyone to get really muddy and the warm up certainly did that!
Overall the squad was split into 10 players per team and played 2 games each, winning 3 of the 4.
The rucking was coming on nicely, and some great ripping of the ball. Some massive (try saving) tackles going in and some really direct running.
Another great day of rugby and great FUN!

A home training session with Sutton and Epsom a lot of techniques and fitness practice in the first hour, then all the teams were mixed up and played a lot of rugby. All the kids looked like they were having a great deal of fun and played some good rugby.

Chobham + Effingham

A three way set of matches at home. The day was started by some drills for each squad followed by the matches, although these were friendly’s the competition was tense. We managed to field three teams on the day and gave a good account of ourselves, in fact one of our teams won 10-0 (50-0).
Our squads overall skill level has increased and some really exciting rugby was played. The rucking and mauling was done with gusto and our passion to retain / retrieve the ball has greatly improved. Well done everyone !
