Copthill U10 ‘A’ Rugby Team v Brook Priory U10 ‘A’

On a dull afternoon at Brook Priory on a pitch the size of a postage stamp, the U10 team performed magnificently.  Their attitude was excellent and they accepted every decision given by the referee.  Henry S-P and Ted Pennell were strong in both tackling and their runs through the midfield.  Edmund Kavati showed some strong running, scoring two tries and Ted Pennell also touched down. 

In a match that saw Copthill penalised time and time again and unable to stretch the opposition on such a small pitch, it was a tight affair.  At the end of the full fifteen minutes of the second half, we were ahead 3-2, but had to endure another ten minutes of pressure before the final whistle.  The whole team played well, but man of the match was Reuben Isaac who made several telling and high impact runs as well as tracking the ball carrier from every restart to either put him under pressure or tackle him to smother their move.

On another day, on another pitch with the clearly defined rules of Age Grade Rugby, we would have beaten Brook convincingly.
