Newbury U12 A’s v Chipping Norton
Score: 40 -0
Scorers: Josh Lawrence, Theo Brophy Clews, Louis Lyne (2), James O’Connor (2), Zach Stancombe (2)
Newbury immediately were on the offensive but lost the ball on the line. The clearance kick fell into the arms of Josh Lawrence who skated down the left wing to score Newbury’s first try. The second try fell to Louis Lyne, who enjoying his new found freedom at centre jinked his way over the line. The third was again inspired by Josh Lawrence who got close to the line before popping it up to James O’Connor. The next score again went to Louis Lyne which brought half time with Newbury four scores to the good.
The second half started as the first ended with Newbury pressing for more. Tries were scored by Zach Stancombe and James O’Connor who finished off periods of concerted pressure. Not to be outdone, Theo Brophy Clews, got his hands on a ball as it bobbled free close to the Chipping Norton line and fell over the line to score. The match finished with Zach Stancombe scoring his second and Newbury’s eighth try following yet another break from Josh Lawrence.
A cracking all round performance from Newbury with a final score of 40-0.
Newbury U12 B’s v Chipping Norton
Score: 10 - 10
Scorers: George Bicknell, Ciaren Ffrench
Chipping Norton kicked off and 5 minutes of sustained pressure saw them maul the ball over the line for their first try. After the restart, promising play by Newbury got the ball well into Chipping half but we were let down by poor passing. Despite good rucking play by Newbury, the 10 minute mark came with another Chipping try. Newbury were not downhearted and excellent running and passing play saw George Bicknell get a try back. Just before half time some excellent passing saw a Chipping winger fast approaching our line but he was excellently tackled out of play by Alex Gallo.
The second half started with rather poor discipline that led to Newbury giving away the restart kick. At the 5 minute mark a scrum was followed by a excellent running and passing by Will Rupp and George Bicknell. Newbury had their heads up now and a second try from Ciaren Ffrench came quickly and saw us level the score sheet. The teams were clearly well matched and in the dying moments Newbury almost got a winning try but were defeated at the line.
