Squad - Alexander Anderson, David Cecil, James Davies, Joshua Day, Myles Deane, Emmanuel Galan, Ben Harrison, Joshua Nagle, Benjamin Seddon, Oliver Skyrme, James Viney
In our pool matches we first played Hammersmith & Fulham winning 6 nil. Many thanks again to both Manny Galan & Oliver Syrme for being great sports in representing the opposition otherwise the match would have been forfeited since they only had 6 players. Birthday boy & skipper Ben Sneddon also got his name on the score sheet & there was also a hatrick from Josh Nagle & try a piece from Alex & James Viney.
We then played Winchester, winning a tight match by single try from Ben Harrison. Final group match was against the hosts Staines when on muddy pitch against strong opposition we drew 1-1 following a try from James Viney.
Winning our pool group resulted in us playing against Sutton & Epsom who although one of the best team in the festival lost to the rampant Teddington 2 nil with tries from Alex & Ben Harrison. Then onto the final at which time the heavens opened up further & the pitches now muddy swamps set us up against the best team & our arch rivals Richmond. After a fantastic first half when we conceded only 1 try, both fatigue & the brilliance of Richmond's speed of handling caused us to leak 3 more tries.
To all the players including those I have not mentioned above, being James Davies, Myles Deane, David Cecil & Joshua Day you were all magnificent & should be proud of your achievement yesterday in being runners up. Just imagine what you could all achieve in both dry weather & pitch conditions?
Regards
STEPHEN ANDERSON
