U9 Rugby v Solihull
U9 Red Team vs Winterfold
The U9 Red Team had a tough game against Winterfold on Tuesday. Winterfold started with the ball and were dominant in possession. We had a few early chances at goal but could not quite find the back of the net. Winterfold pressured our defence well and managed to get through our forces a few times. Winterfold won the game, but I was very proud of our girls’ resilience and perseverance throughout. They never let their heads drop and played together very well. Keep up the hard work!
U11 Triangular vs Dodderhill and Norfolk House
U11 vs Solihull
U11 A v Solihull – lost 7 – 5
U11 B v Solihull – lost 8 – 5
U11 C v Solihull – lost 13 – 5
All the U11 teams tried hard against a strong Solihull year group. The A team showed some great passing, running and tackling skills and, as the game went on, gradually improved their break down skills. The B team came up against some big boys who powered through our tackles, but we kept going and scored some great team tries in reply.
U8 vs Solihull
U8 A v Solihull – won 10 – 9
U8 B v Solihull – lost 12 – 9
U8 C v Solihull – won 14 – 7
It was great to see all the Year 3 boys putting their newly acquired rugby skills into full games of tag against Solihull Prep School. All the games were closely fought and all the boys learnt a huge amount from the games. It was great that they all were keen to play again and were asking when the next match was. Well done boys!
U8s Triangular with Highclare
The U8 girls were split into 4 teams for their first matches on full-length pitches. We worked hard on keeping positions and getting the girls used to different roles on the pitch. We saw some great runs with the ball, some outstanding tackling and clearance of the ball, and we will continue to work on the strength of our pass. The final results were:
Red vs Highclare 0-0
Green vs Highclare 0-2 L
Red 1-0 Green
Blue vs Highclare 3-0 W
Purple vs Highclare 2-0 W
Blue 2-0 Purple
Well done girls, you have done so much learning and made so many improvements this term!
