Rochford U11s vs. Basildon, 24 February 2013

All 17 braved the freezing temperatures (Incl the parents :) ) to secure a great win. Two of our newest members joined the opposition with great runs from Reese and Alex Fisher - well played.

First game met with uncontested scrums (AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH) wanted to hear our pack 1, 2, hit, something for the next game (trust me).

Our sharp, switched on TEAM faced Basildon with Frazer as Captain and vocal Henry as Vice Captain, with Hayden as pack leader after last weeks performance.

The TEAM contested very ball, good width and communication, yards gained by our pack as well as great runs from Blake, Dec, Ricardo, Charlie and Jamie. Big hits from Hayden, Henry, Dom, and Dec. 5 Tries and kicking not only from kick off but also conversion was 100% great work Jack.

Finishing with a great run from Chezzer (need to learn pass the ball mate) and great interlinking play with Frazer and Ricardo. Louis owned the scrum half role with great commitment and direction.

Game two, found our Tina in the backs defending strongly and breaking through the opposition with Tommy vocally directing the backs.

Long balls wide from Henry setting up another 4 tries and kicking to match. 1 try from Basildon kept the day honest. Strong defence kept Basildon out again and again and again. AWESOME DEFENCE TEAM.

Ball after ball our forwards smashed through until shortly before the end of the second half “man down”………… Bens trip to the hospital was the only down side to the whole day, he’s well and back on his feet.

WE BUILD FOR ESSEX FROM HERE TEAM. JOB WELL DONE
