South Gower U11's vs Fall Bay (Away) plus Urgent Recruitment Required

Sunday 7th December 2008
South Gower 15
Fall Bay 35

Match Report
South Gower turned up with only 8 players but they put on a performance that Warren Gatland would have been proud of. The forwards did the best job so far this season of clearing out ruck ball and ensured the possession was equally matched. The backs tackled well but found it hard to offload the final pass after making a number of breaks. Joseph (who is usually the hooker) scored the first try on the wing after driving through three Fall Bay players. A few injuries occurred due to the hard ground, however all players dug deep and played on for the sake of the team. Tom Radcliffe who was starting his first game at scrum half had an excellent game. After dragging himself out of his sick bed and with the benefit of Calpol, he used his strength and running to score two excellent tries.
Fall Bay played well and their tries came from their backs - who had slightly more pace and better handling.

All in all and excellent performance which was the best score the team has had against Fall Bay - well done.

Urgent Recruitment Required !!
Unfortunately, the under 11 team has succumb this season to the very bad habit of player poaching - which has not necessarily been in the best interests of those concerned.
From a squad of in excess of 20 players last season, the usual turn out this year has decreased to 12 with only 8 turning up this week for the match. If the squad is not up to around 20 by the end of the season, then next years U12 squad may not be able to function as we start 15 a-side. If any parents / coaches / players know of any children that may want to turn up, play rugby and have fun then please contact Aaron Brock 07867 904976 or Lawrence Kneath : lawrence @kneath.co.uk
