RATT Cup - 24/02/2007

Squad - Alexander Anderson, Benjamin Archer, Joe Beasley, Henry Clark, James Davies, Nicolas Furrer, James Gawn, Ben Harrison, Archie Jones, Frederico Pasquali, Callum Sirker, Jack Stockham.

The 2nd round of the RATT Cup at Harlequins saw us in an extremely hard group with Sutton & Epsom & Ealing - our first game against Sutton & Epsom was an extremely hard fought affair - we went a try down but came back with a driven over effort from Ben Harrison. The second half saw us under a lot of pressure but excellent defence kept the final score 1 try each (5-5).
Sutton & Epsom then defeated Ealing 4 trys to 2 which meant that to win our group and qualify for the next round, we had to beat Ealing by a better score. The boys came out fired up and played a great game of attacking rugby to win 5 trys to nil (25-0),
with 2 trys from Benjamin Archer and one each from Alexander Anderson, Ben Harrison & James Gawn - an excellent pressure performance! We finished the day with a game against the other group winners/qualifers, Upminster which was another tough, hard fought draw at 1 try each, Archie Jones scoring. Well done to all the boys for great effort and the coaches for motivation and looking forward to the next round!

I'm sure Callum scored the last try against Ealing!
