U9 v Spring Grove
We won 7-2. At the start it was pretty close. They scored the first try, but we came back quickly. Our first try was scored by Harry as he snatched the ball up from the ground and ran the whole pitch. At half-time, it was 1-1. Immediately after half-time, Anthony got his name on the score sheet with a nicely worked try in the corner. He followed his steaming run with another 2 tries. Soon after that, Euan found himself over the try line. Spring Grove soon scored their next try with a long run. I think the best part of our game was our quick passing after a touch. In our next game, we'll want to work on running straight. Player of the match was Euan. Theo

U10/11A v Spring Grove
The A team played a rugby match against Spring Grove. The rules were very different to how we normally play. Spring Grove started the game well and they were on the front foot, they even scored a try. Soon after that Russell House scored a try, but it was very tight until half-time and both teams played well. In the second half, we tried to be in support of the player with the ball and that did work. Russell House were the better team in the second half and we scored 3 tries to Spring Groves' 1. In the end, the score was 4-2 to us and my player of the match was Kit or Edward. Sammy

On Wednesday, we played Caterham School at home. We did lose but Caterham were a very strong side and had some very good players. We started off well but played better in the second half. We did some good rucks and tackles. Everyone played very well and we worked together as a team. We look forward to the next match after half-term. Noah

Today's match was played in bitterly cold weather. The opposition played very well and they beat us 10-0. However, towards the end of the match, we started to play better and run straighter, which created gaps. Marcus was player of the match because he got loads of tackles and helped to score tries.
